Hotel is positioned on a beautiful part of the island. The grounds are lush and pool is great. We loved everything here as far as the environment, views, amenities and our room, but the service was quite poor specially with the front desk. Our room was directly by the pool, and two nights in a row live music was playing at the pool restaurant until 11pm, which is great if you are there enjoying it, but not when you have a small child and trying to put them to bed. The next day when I told the front desk member that the music was very loud in our room and we were unable to sleep he just said yes we can play music until 11. When I pushed further and asked if we could be moved the answer was no. And that was that. I was stunned at this terrible customer service. I appreciate the hotel was fully booked but a simple gesture, an apology or sympathy would have gone a long way.
I went for 1 week, the 2nd week in May. I accidentally booked 1 day too long and they wouldn’t be flexible or allow me a refund. So double check and triple check your dates! The rooms are big and spacious and so are the balconies with a big drying rack to dry your clothes. The heating and air con and fridge all work well. Unfortunately when I arrived the shower floor was dirty. The shower was very small which makes it almost impossible to shave your legs and the curtain didn’t help to keep the water in the shower very well meaning it was all over the bathroom floor which wouldn’t be a problem if it was clean or drained away but the water just collected next to the drain which meant you’d have wet dirty feet if you used the sink after. It’s also not very well ventilated. Around the sealing there’s the start of some black mold probably from this. Had to put my shoes on to use the bathroom. The cleaner comes in everyday and mopped up the water and empties the bins. They don’t sweep the sand off the floor or clean the shower floor or toilet/ sink which really needed done. or make your bed or anything else apart from after 3 days when they change your towels and sheets. Other than that it was a good stay. The pool was never busy I was often the only person in it. The drinks from the bar were nice. And it’s located in a great place just an 10min taxi ride into Argostoli which only costs €8 and they come in 5 minutes. It is walkable to get to the beach on the way there about 15-20mins. But I’d recommend you get a taxi on the way back as it’s located on a big steep hill.
