Beautiful ocean view hotel. Close to the amazing Balos Beach. Food was delicious. Staff was very friendly.
The beach at the hotel is rocky and when the wave recedes it makes a beautiful clinking sound!
Sun loungers are available, complete with friendly neighborhood cat!
The amazing nearby Balos Beach. It has PINK sand! Not nearly as difficult to get to as the locals make it out to be.

If there is a word that best describes this property its the filoxenia from the staff. Clean hotel, recently renovated pool and bedrooms. Lovely relaxing beach close by. Also easy access to the town and other nearby beaches if one would like to go as an option. Nice restaurants on the main road followed by a local supermarket, bakeries, petrol station. We will be visiting you all soon Stavroulla and Yiannis

Great accommodating hotel on the beach

We had double booked our nights, sunny bay welcomed to modify our stay and allow us to stay another night. Had a great meal for dinner, on-site restaurant was very good and the breakfast is great as well. Weather was very windy during our stay so the beach was less than desirable.

Lovely hotel - room was very comfortable, staff very pleasant. Much more upscale than your usual Greek hotel and a good price. Free welcome drink on arrival - however they wouldn’t allow a G and T which was a shame! Spacious balcony and nice sea view. Would highly recommend :-)

The property itself is nice, clean and well managed. It is however located at the very edge of town which requires a 15 minute walk into an area where there are dining options. The town itself seems to be in decline which is no fault whatsoever of the property.

Fantastic hotel in a great location

Beautiful hotel set in a stunning location on the beach. Check in and check out were both very easy - all staff were extremely helpful, polite and friendly. Rooms were clean and a good size (we had the standard front sea view) - a very big bed and a sofa bed for our daughter. Swimming pool was cleaned daily and was perfect. Restaurant - breakfast, lunch and dinner were all superb with a lovely view. Reasonably priced for the quality of food, drink and service received. Quiet and peaceful especially in the evenings - was nice to sit on the balcony and stargaze and look/listen to the bats. Staff gave us information on where to go and booked excursions - all very helpful. Great location, short walk to strip of restaurants and bars. Would totally recommend and plan on visiting again. If we had to find any negative from our stay, it would be that there was no coffee machine in the room (but again that’s only if I had to give a negative as absolutely loved our stay).
