"The drive to the hotel is approximately 20 mins. The staff on arrival were very friendly and showed us around. This is a fairly small hotel and set away from any main towns or shops . Our room was very spacious and clean and had a wonderful view out to sea and the neighbouring island of kefalonia, with a great sunset view. It is a very intimate hotel with not too many guests and definitely no worrying about getting a sunbed. The staff are very attentive and can not do enough for you. The hotel is extremely well run by Krissa, who is always around if you need anything. She is very friendly and is always chatting to the guests. We booked a day trip around the island with get your guide, however after we booked it we found out that the hotel would also be able to arrange any tours we wanted to do, they would also be able to arrange car hire for you or order any taxis. There is a gym, spa & massage facility at the hotel, we did not use this.
If you are looking for nightlife or evening entertainment then this is not the place for you as it is very laid back with just lovely background music playing. If you are looking for total chill out and relaxation then this is definitely the place for you.
We had the half board option as we knew there were no restaurants nearby, this was well worth the money( not much extra at all) the evening option was 5 courses each night and was exceptionally good food. However we did feel that the service was very rushed, especially as there was no where else to go. Plates were cleared away before everyone on the table was finished and each course seemed to come out on top of each other, with no breathing space to allow your food to digest. There is a wide variety of options available for breakfast too with cereals, breads, hot food, fruit etc
Stamatis was especially good as he made sure he remembered everyone’s names and orders, and a shout out to Raihan as he is the only other person I got the name of, however all the staff are really lovely, work really hard and are very friendly and attentive.
There is building work going on next to the hotel at present however this does not affect your stay in any way. We walked to the nearby beach, 20 min walk away, 3 times during our stay and spent the day there at a bar called Makai, where you can hire sunbeds on the beach. Lovely vibe and friendly staff.
My only criticisms of the hotel are 1. Please give people a breather between courses for dinner. 2. Please provide bigger towels in the bathroom for us larger ladies 3. Could there be some lighter options available at lunch time as you don’t always want another full meal when there is so much on offer in the evening.
I would definitely return to this hotel and fully recommend it to others looking for a complete wind down."
