The hotel boasts a spectacular view with a private pool overlooking the sea, and the location is perfect for easy access to the beach and nearby attractions. However, the room arrangement wasn’t ideal for couples due to the two single beds pushed together, and it could get quite hot in the morning. Overall, it's a lovely place with friendly staff, but some comfort issues could be improved.

I stayed at this hotel and while the location was lovely and close to the charming Agios Nikolaos, the dining experience left a bit to be desired due to the queuing system.

The service from the staff was genuinely welcoming and friendly, making my experience enjoyable.
