"The property has beautiful views and the staff is amazing. The hotel is old and the rooms need to be updated. There was an odor in our room. The pool has cracked tile and no pool service except for a very small bar. 20 minute walk to downtown Fira."

Sun beds were comfortable - it would be nicer if you offered ..."
