10/10 Excellent
"Most staff excellent and very friendly. The hotel was very well maintained and renovated to a very good standard. Excellent private beach with loungers, towels and umbrellas included. Very nice pools and lobby area and outdoor gardens were exceptionally maintained. We were there in August and there were a few days that the wind and waves was a bit much, but apparently this is normal for August and other months are better. We still loved being at the beach. There were alot of food choices, most was OK to good and some was great, but you learn after a couple days what to order and what to choose. Dolce Vida had a great caprese salad and an excellent salmon, but the beef was tough and and overdone. You have to keep in mind that even at the sit-down restaurants, the food is generally pre-prepared as they cant make it fresh for large volumes of people. This affects the quality, but we were generally happy as there was enough choices and if we were still hungry or didnt like our meal, we went to the buffet to fill up on what we liked. Overall a great hotel with a nice beach. For an all inclusive with the location and renovated rooms, it was a fair price as there are very limited options in all of Greece at this price point that offer a large nice hotel on a beach. Very kid friendly even though we did not travel with kids."
