Fantastic Hotel Experience

friendly staff fine room sea view fresh seafood

I found the staff friendly and helpful. They always greeted me and offered assistance. My superior sea view room with shared pool was fine. It was cleaned daily and the mini-fridge was included and restocked regularly. I enjoyed breakfast at the Taverna restaurant daily. It overlooked the beach and the sea. I appreciated the fresh seafood.

The smell near my room smelled like sewage. It was noticeable, especially when I sat outside.
