The hotel is nestled among lush trees and plants, offering a beautiful view of the bay from the balcony. It's conveniently close to Sami and just a stone's throw away from Melissani Cave. The beachfront location with a pristine swimming pool area adds to the charm, though access to certain spots like the medical center or Thomas's restaurant may require a short journey.

The room layout with a double and single bed suited our family needs, and the hidden shower behind the mirror door was a unique touch offering privacy. Though small, it was cozy and clean for a comfortable stay.

Being cared for by the enthusiastic and helpful Makis made us feel like a part of a warm family. The occasional grumpiness from staff monitoring food intake was outweighed by the overall hospitable and caring service. The shuttle service was also convenient.

Our stay at the hotel was enjoyable overall. The rooms were very basic but clean and comfortable with essential amenities like a fridge and air conditioning. The hotel's location is perfect for a relaxing holiday near the beach and within walking distance to some great dining options. However, the dining experience was underwhelming with limited hot food choices.

What a great find! This hotel is right by the beach and offers a beautiful swimming pool area with bar access next door. The place is spotless, and we can't wait to come back. The rooms are on the smaller side and lack air conditioning, but the overall experience was fantastic.

The facilities were top-notch, especially the delicious birthday cake provided by the owner. However, it may be easy to rack up a large bill if not cautious.

The hotel is in a perfect location right by the beach, with a beautiful swimming pool area available next door. The rooms are spacious, and opting for an apartment over a regular double room adds a lot more comfort. While the lack of a TV wasn't a big deal for us, it would have been nice to have one. The service is outstanding with the incredibly friendly staff even remembering guests' names. The dining options, although limited to continental style, offer a good selection. A very comfortable and friendly atmosphere in a prime seaside location that encourages social interaction among guests.
