    Fabulous reasonably clean hotel with very good service and rooftops views. Good dishes, central location within walking distance of more lively areas. Based adjacent to other restaurants in village, the beach, and car rental.

    friendly staff
    charming village
    great breakfast
    noisy fridge

    We loved chilling at Meltemi beach and exploring the charming Koutouloufari Village. The breakfast spread and friendly staff were highlights. Just a heads-up, the pool area can get a bit crowded during peak hours.

    We had some issues with the noise from the fridge in our room, hard to sleep at night.

    helpful staff
    limited amenities
    inadequate fitness area

    The experience was marred by the hotel's misleading room descriptions. Although I booked an Executive suite expecting a Jacuzzi, that was not the case. While the room itself was clean, the limited amenities were disappointing, and they charged for additional towels. Conveniently located but far from the beaches, having to rely on transportation was a hassle . The fitness area was inadequately equipped and uncomfortably hot.

    broken jacuzzi
    missing feature

    It surpassed my previous stay in hersonissos with its amazing pools and the warmth of the staff. The private pool in my room was the perfect retreat after exploring the charming village nearby.

    Jacuzzi wasn't functioning .

    Very nice stay with fine views

    Our time at the resort was really good! The private pool in our Premium Room with Sea View offered a perfect retreat where we unwound after exploring the charming Koutouloufari Village. The staff were great, always great. We particularly enjoyed the diverse and delicious breakfast options available each day, especially the fresh Greek yogurt! It would be great if there were more shaded seating areas around the pool.

    The beautifully landscaped gardens was like walking through a serene oasis, perfect for a leisurely stroll. The pathways were gentle.
