Great hotel conveniently located near the lovely town of Finikounda. Modern rooms with nice views of the mountain range meeting the ocean. Breakfast included as is a in house restaurant offering a good choice of tradionnnal Greek dishes at good prices. A must to consider if you are planning to stay in the area

We arrived in a dark reception area, were known was there to greet us. Another guest had to direct us to the man sitting in the dark in the dining room. The beach and the pool area was very nice. We are hoping for more regarding their food service. I was highly distressed by the mattress. We had to double check to make sure it was not a box spring/mattress foundation we were sleeping on. I got 3 hours of sleep. I was really hopeful for thos place based on the photos. It has me very leery of photos and reviews I see online.

Firstly we chose this hotel because it had a lift and we knew we would be coming with large suitcases. We were very disappointed to find that there was no lift at all even though it was advertised as having one. The owner was very unfriendly and surly. No basic amenities in the room such as tea or coffee. No shower gel in the room as they had run out. Pool was great and friendly poolside staff. We booked 2 rooms both with partial sea views but on arriving we were told that there was no Seaview - they did upgrade one of the 2 rooms. Rooms were very basic. One room had basic TV channels all in Greek while he other room had more channels including English channels, albeit it was a pc monitor sized TV. When we arrived around 9pm the hotel foyer was in darkness- we asked the owner if the power was out and he said no - we found out that they just don’t turn lights on

The rooms were nothing like the photo on the website. No towels in the room. The shower was murky and no handle for the shower head. Asked if they could bring us some water to the room and we were told that if we wanted something, we should have brought it with us…

The area is beautiful. The beach is lovely and clean, water is great to swim and its not crowded. There is a beach bar next door but the hotel pool bar and food are great so you dont need to leave if you dont want to! 10mins walk to the little town which has more restaurants and a supermarket. I enjoyed breakfast you had cereals, fruit, greek yoghurt and honey, bread ham cheese and eggs cooked 3 different ways. Overall lovely and i would come back.

Hotel view great if you get a front room, as we did. Hosts very crumpy, like everything is an effort ( needs new management, as owners dont know any social skills). Hotel room very cramp and generally looking tired. Breakfast very basic, and the liquid which looks like orange juice but isn't is best avoided

It’s absolutely fabulous and will go back as soon as we can. Perfect stunning location. Spotlessly clean and friendly staff. Views are spectacular and definitely worth a sea view room. The Sandy beach 3 mins walk from our top floor room, the pool 2 mins. The village is 5 mins drive away but a slightly tricky walk. Breakfast buffet good variety and pretty outside places to eat. Couldn’t rate more highly.

Spectacular views facing the bay. Superb pool, with the sandy seashore a few steps away. The personnel catered to our needs efficiently. Old fashioned but solid bathroom, clean smallish room with comfortable beds. Breakfast was simple and straight forward. Outstanding and pleasant service overall. I would stay again.

Yes- the setting is gorgeous, but it seems that this place was living off that and didn’t have to put any effort in elsewhere. The place overall was “tired” and needs a bit of money spending on updating it. During our 4 days there, there was not once anyone on reception or anyone making you feel “welcome”. This I thought was really quite odd. The WiFi coverage was shocking and only really worked in the pool area. The breakfast was simply not acceptable. Some would say “basic” but this was below “ basic”. It was like the hotel’s policy was “ ok we know we have to provide breakfast but let’s do it as cheaply as we possibly can”. My kids are a bit fussy, but everywhere else can always find something,.., but not here. A good example is the Orange Juice - it was orange squash - unforgivable and unacceptable. But... the setting was stunning, and the pool was nice

Off season is still a great time to visit
It was still off season and we had the place to ourselves inluding Ligonamos Beach right in front of the hotel. Magical. The owners were very friendly and hospitable. Breakfast was great. They provided us with lots of information about the area. Pool was still closed but that will be for next time. Thanks, Nick and George.
