Rooms and towels are regularly cleaned and changed. There is a mini market (open 24Hrs) and snack bar on site. There are regular themed evening events on site, (e.g. Greek night, Italian night, BBQ night). The reception area hosts a book exchange, and also has a free to use internet area. (PS.

In the vicinity, there are plenty of decent restaurants within a few minutes walk. (Don't leave Oniro till the last night .. very good). There is also a supermarket and bakery, literally next door . The beach is a bit of trek down the hill, but still very doable. A car is useful if you want to explore further afield. All in all, an excellent base to unwind and relax, and highly recommended..."

- "This place could be a gem with some love and attention. PRO:Our room was cleaned randomly over 3 weeks. Love the location and the view. Pool was ready. Fridge & stove worked. Plates & cutlery provided. Lisa,PR girl did her best with what she had to work with. CON: Needs maintainence and regular upkeep. No one at the reception ....... ever. TV will work IF you have a seperate wifi code AND you are a techie and can find where to enter said wifi code. I,personally swept and cleaned up the front entrance,it needs alot of attention to make it welcoming.. Hot water is best between 4-7 p.m. No recycling. We had to buy our own toilet paper for the last 3 days . Just needs cleaning up around the place, things put away instead of laying about and better management. . There is no one there to ask questions to i.e. how to work the TV, or if there was an emergency (plumbing,electrical) or any issue at all. Big language barrier with cleaning lady. Lisa would check in on us on the days she was there and then relay any issues we had to her boss. Bathroom showers need an update. If this place can get it together it will be a great little hotel."

Vassos and Artemis, they make this hotel special " - "Four of us stayed at this lovely hotel, our two son's aged 18 and 16 in one room and my wife and I in another (Rooms 1 & 2) The hotel is owned by two couples Manos, Dimitris and their wife's Stella and Smaro all share great pride in what they have achieved and rightfully so. Everything was perfect, the room's, our terraces, the bar, the food, the cleanliness and especially the hospitality. Nothing seemed to be too much problem to make us happy and content, this could also be said for the chef Costa who produced lovely meals and Tobias the bar tender who made fantastic cocktails of which we had quite a few, both were great guy's. We feel we have made true friends with everyone involved in the running of this fantastic place, the two ladies who cleaned the room's daily did so with smiles on their faces and were also very friendly and helpful. My wife and I intend to go back in September not only to stay at this superb hotel but to see Manos, Dimitris, Stella, Smaro, Costa and Tobias all of which we found to be fantastic people."

- "The location was very convenient, a supermarket within walking distance, the beach was 5 minutes by foot and excursion booth by the supermarket. The owner does charge $10 Euros for air conditioning per day which was not clearly described when booked. The pool and outdoor area was super! There is no microwave or coffee maker in the apartment, in the bathroom there was just a small showering pan with a handheld sprayer (no curtain) and there was not always hot water. We really enjoyed our stay and this was a great value for the money if you don't mind going without some modern conveniences."
