I pride myself on writing very honest reviews. For that reason, I was influenced by what I read and booked for that reason. Wrong decision! Initially, I gave this hotel one star. As the week passed, I thought , maybe two stars at the most. My final decision is one star…..fridge and, unlike so many Greek properties, a shower curtain. What I witnessed, and many I spoke to agreed with me, are various ‘cliques’. People who have been going for many years, staying, as one couple do, a month at a time, twice a year. I overheard people arranging the same dates for next year. These are the ones, in my humble opinion, who feel this hotel is worthy of high ratings….they are greeted and lauded like long lost family…..stay by the pool for most of the day, spend lots of money at the pool bar. Yes, there are a couple of members of staff who are genuinely friendly but that does not hide the ‘issues’ that need addressing. The rooms are spacious, have a fridge and a comfortable bed. The bathroom is lethal! No matter how many different ways I tried to shower, it was absolutely impossible not to soak the floor. I slipped twice, fortunately not hurting myself, but I am surprised there haven’t been more accidents. The fault lies with the fact there is a square shower tray but a curtain that goes across a pole. Hence, water pours down the curtain and drips into pools on the floor. Towels are changed frequently but there is nowhere to dry any that become sopping wet. Breakfast is typically Greek…..However, what I disliked was having communal pots of jam, honey and chocolate spread. By the end of my week, there was a solid sticky rim around the top of the containers. Single butters are provided so why not the same for the spreads? Bread can be ‘toasted’ but, more often than not, was warm bread. The toaster is archaic. Some food is covered but flies did hover around that left open. Fruit juice seemed quite watery and coffee was available from a machine. If booking half board, be aware that you have to go to another sister hotel to eat your evening meal. I didn’t know this until I arrived. Initially not a big problem……until the first night. My past experiences have meant a choice of appetising starters, various main courses and, usually, succulent desserts along with the opportunity to socialise and mingle with fellow guests. Not so. I walked into a soulless area to discover I was eating alone. I was presented with a menu headed ‘Half board menu’. I won’t further bore with the details other than to say I lasted three nights…..the choice and food itself were dire. My complaint reached ‘management’…….not even worthy of comment. Suffice to say I ate out for the remaining four nights. Finally, I had invasions of ants on a couple of occasions. Hardly surprising in a hot country, however, the ineffective way the situation was handled was a concern. Initially, I was told the room had been re-cleaned and the problem resolved. Not so! On my final day, busy packing, ants appeared in
