I had a lovely stay at this hotel, which is situated in a quiet area near the beach and several excellent tavernas. The rooms were clean and featured modern amenities, while the staff was friendly and accommodating. On the downside, the dining options could have offered a bit more variety, and some facilities like children’s activities were sometimes a bit of a hassle. Overall, it was a good value for money, and I felt relaxed throughout my visit.
