I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The rooms were spacious, clean, and had a proper shower in the washroom. The view of the beach and the sea, with Ithaca in the distance, was breathtaking. The service was top-notch, with extremely helpful and efficient staff. The location was perfect, offering a relaxed vibe right on the beach yet close enough to the lively town of Sami. The dining experience was varied and tasty, although the fresh juice was missing. The facilities were great, especially the delightful outside bar.

The hotel offers nice rooms with a stunning mountain view, but they need a refurbishment as they tend to get quite cold. The staff is extremely friendly and caring, dedicated to ensuring a relaxing stay. The location is cleverly designed for both sunny and shady spots, ideal for exploring beautiful areas or unwinding. The dining options are varied, with a highlight on delicious Greek yogurt, but the breakfast could use some more variety. Overall, a decent hotel with great views and friendly service.
