From check-in, the staff did not help us with baggage, and the process at reception was slow; once we got to the room, it had three single beds when we only requested a double (conjoined singles in the booking). The bathroom was dirty with hair in the tub, and the bath plug was missing; the air conditioner was very noisy, and I heard guests in the foyer complain about this also. The pool is not heated and so cold that no one would swim in it, the bar by the pool is closed and looks under construction, and the bar upstairs was understaffed and had dirty cups all over the countertop. Navigating to the room is complex and there is no staff to help with this. Overall would avoid this hotel, it’s not close to any city nearby and you would be disappointed if staying for a few days compared to central Athens

We stayed in April and had booked a Family Bunglow with private pool. Had a terrible experience : Ended up dealing with maintenance issues - door locks didn't work and it took the maintenance guy couple of hours to fix it during which we were stuck in the room and missed the sunset by the beach. The TV wasnt working either initially and the private pool was cold and dirty. We decided to just use the main pool, but guess what - the pool was roped off and "not yet open for the season" and only 1 restaurant was operational and the rest were also not yet open! None of this was mentioned or made transparent during booking. Location is great by the water/mountains but all the rest of the poor experience isnt worth the price you pay :(

I booked a room with an outdoor jacuzzi and those rooms weren’t even ready. They are being sold on expedia but are not available as they are still being put together. Was offered a villa with an indoor jacuzzi that was beautiful but the jacuzzi didn’t work. overflowed into the bathroom when water was let out. It’s clear that problem existed before due to the water damage visible on bottom of bathroom door and bedroom door. Thankfully we were only cleaning it first with very little water to be drained. Noticed the problem and was told we have to drain it slowly. As if we’re going to stand there all night letting the stopper in and out. Ridiculous to even say such a thing to a guest paying over $300 a night for a room. I got this room only for the jacuzzi as we were getting off a 13 hour flight and wasn’t able to use it. Really a shame because the property had potential

Room not advertised as promised - we had asked for two king beds and we got a bed and a couch. The front desk was very unhelpful for a “5 star accommodation”. We also had booked a private pool which we did not get. The showers are terrible and this is not near the airport.

It’s quiet, away from busy city. Definitely a huge hotel. The rooms are small but decent. The bathroom had extra soap in the tub, unsure if it was leftover residue or cleaning product.
