Fantastic location by the beach . Lovely spot for a relaxing holiday . We were the only English In the hotel but had a wonderful time chatting to folk from all around Europe .

The bar was open till midnight with a great range of drinks on the all inc package . The pool areas were super with very comfortable sun beds but we preferred the beach which also had these . We will be back .

Loved our stay here! Would definitely go back. The staff are so lovely and helpful they work so hard. Spa was great too. The area is super chilled and great food and friendly hospitality. Only thing would say is the Wi-Fi isn’t perfect but think that’s Greece in general.
