If I could, I would have given this a 3.5 star review. I will start with the positives: - The beach in front of the hotel is excellent and the "free" sunbeds were very good (although at busy times, they get full by 10am so bear that in mind if you like a late start to your day). - Corissia Park is lovely with its large swimming pool and restaurant. - Buffet breakfast was very good and varied. The freshly made waffles were a highlight. - Our room was spacious and had a much needed fridge and good air-conditioning (but read on about its negatives). - Location is great, literally 1-2 minutes walk between room, beach, Corissia Park, village centre, supermarket etc. The things that could (and should - given the price we paid) have been better: - The hotel is advertised as being 4-stars. Our room was not in the actual hotel building but about 60 metres away. It was basically a very basic 2-room Airbnb type accommodation, but with no kitchen or living room. Nowhere near 4-star quality. The furniture was basic and unattractive. The walls were full of marks from dead mosquitoes, cleaners just ignored them. The toilet always had an unpleasant smell. We bought our own air-freshener to use while we stayed there. - Cleaning, in general, wasn't great. Cleaners would come in the afternoon, not in the morning and the quality of the cleaning was so-so. - I mentioned earlier that buffet breakfast was great. Buffet dinner was not as good. Whereas breakfast includes free water, juices etc, dinner does not include anything to drink at all - not even water. A 1-litre bottle of water costs a shameful 3.60 Euros! In Greece, most restaurants provide free tap water or charge a very small amount for bottled water. 3.60 Euros for a 1-littre bottle of water in Greece is an absolute rip-off and shows disrespect towards the hotel's customers. - The hotel attracts mainly German tourists, which is absolutely fine, they were very well behaved and I like German people and have visited Germany many times. However, it is not just Germans that visit the hotel (we heard several non-German languages spoken by guests!). The hotel only seems to make an effort to please German guests however. When we were given the instructions to join the wi-fi, they were in German only! The TV in our room had pretty much only German channels - not even any Greek ones despite being in Greece! - Customer service from the hotel reception was hit and miss. The people at reception didn't feel very friendly or trying hard to help. Maybe because we didn't speak German? We expected better. Overall, we did enjoy our stay, but given the premium prices we paid (over 300 Euros per night) we did expect better.
