Reviews and Ratings
The hotel sits on a mountain side with stunning sea views, and the air-conditioned rooms are a lifesaver during the hot months. The layout makes it convenient to move between the pool, dining area, and rooms, but beware of some trip hazards around the property.
The hotel offers stunning views over the bay with clean and spacious rooms, though in need of updating. The staff is exceptionally friendly and helpful, enhancing the overall experience. The pool area is well-kept, and the hotel is conveniently located within walking distance to the beach.
The hotel offers stunning views over the bay, with some noise, and rooms that, although slightly smaller than expected, are still very nice and come with large balconies. The service provided by Mario in the restaurant, Cassie on reception, and Katarina at the pool bar was exceptional. The location on a mountain side overlooking the Ionian Sea is amazing, although it does require climbing some steps. The dining experience includes a wide selection of delicious food. The facilities are well-equipped but may look a bit dated.
