"The rooms are large and well kept. They are a bit tired but this didn't affect anything. Pool area is nice and there are always sunbeds available. Near the beach, tavernas and supermarkets. Gouves centre is a 20-minute walk away where there are many more tavernas, shops and a bigger beach with watersports. Check-in was ok but we arrived tired (evening) and were given several rules about the property which felt like a lecture before we'd even had chance to check in, pay and feel settled. Air...

"We stayed in a junior suite. Overall the room was lovely and the view over the beach was the best part. As we were in a suite a sofa would have been nice but there was one chair. The staff at Expedia were very good and answered every query efficiently so will definitely be using Expedia again. Also the hotel staff were very polite. The food area were very clean and had a sufficient variety of options every day although there was always a shortage of spoons and cups. Everyone was constantly asking the staff for more of these. Beach towels, you had to pay 2€ to change which was a surprise. There was no bar after 9pm and there was only 2 sofas by the bar to sit after you had eaten. We probably won't stay at this hotel again but overall we had a nice stay."
