  : The apartment was very spacious and with working air-con but basic. Nice and clean swimming pool.
  : The furniture and even tiles and door are all very old, often damaged (scratched and broken). The worst thing was the small (narrow) bed in the large bedroom. I dont see how any couple can comfortably sleep there together and I must note that we are both slim, not sure what "bigger" guests do... The mattress was also a nightmare, very uncomfortable and "jumpy". And the breakfast, if you dont like full english breakfast dont even bother coming here. They have six options on the fixed menu (greek yogurt with honey, two slices of white toast with butter and strawberry jam, 2x full english breakfast-one with fried eggs the other with scrambled eggs-made of powder not fresh eggs, omellete, kids version of full english breakfast and that is it). Had the omellete once (was very greasy). Drinks are limited to a small glass of juice or cup of tea or cup of coffee (no refills). Very poor and it could be so much better if they added fruit and / or granola to the greek yogurt, offered a cheese selection cold plate option with some olives and tomatoes (local cheese), offer better bread (not just white toast bread) and some nice sweet pastries (e.g. local donuts / waffles / pancakes) and refills on the drinks. This way, if you dont want eggs every morning, you have to go somewhere else. Also, the breakfast is served from 9 am and takes a while till you get what you order so if you need to catch a bus at 9:30am or sooner, it simply does not work. It seems most of the guests are people from the UK so the menu seems to be made to fit their taste (but we travel abroad to try and taste local cuisine and not full English breakfast). So although we had breakfast included in price, we ended up going to other places and paid extra.

  : The hotel is set in the most amazing location. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Restaurant is based on cliff with the most amazing view. There is pool with a very pleasant temperature and big enough for a decent swim.
  : The rooms need updating. There are many mosquitos at night and no nets in the room. The shower for by pool area would be appreciated too

  : Location - close to the town but we went out of season so many bars/restarauntes still closed in April. nice views of the pool and ocean. Staff friendly throughout stay.
  : The rooms were very dated. Bed uncomfortable. My original room did not have access to the Wi-Fi. We did ask to change room closer to reception which increased the Wi-Fi strength.

  : breakfast was cheap and very basic (plain toast, store bought cake/pastries, one variety of cheese with very little taste, ...couple others, you get the point)
