Remember to take suncream and a hat in your hand luggage as it was very hot on the ferry going over and there wasn’t a lot of shade to sit in. We booked a deluxe sea view room, but be warned, most of these rooms I’m sure had a sea view when first built, but probably half of them now don’t. The trees have grown. (See pic below.) Saying that, we were pleased to be further down the hill, as the bungalows up by the gatehouse are a fair climb. There is a buggy to take you up and down if need be. Our room was lovely. Room safe, mini fridge, kettle, tea, coffee, milk, nespresso machine, ceiling fan, air con. We had en-suite shower room with soap, shampoo and shower gel. No conditioner. I admit we never sat on the balcony. There are a lot of bees and wasps around. Bring after bite and insect repellent as there were also a lot of mosquitos early evening. This wouldn’t put me off coming here though. And the bees and wasps disappeared too early evening. All whom we encountered at reception were lovely and helpful. Well, throughout the whole hotel really. Food was extremely good and we all found something we enjoyed for breakfast and dinner. We had two options for lunch. One being pool bar, and the other was the Taverna. We favoured the Taverna and had lunch there everyday (see menu below). We were served by Romilos everyday who was lovely and very efficient. Both the buffet and the Taverna were overseen by the restaurant manager, who always greeted us with a smile and a ‘good morning’. He ran a very tight ship. Did a marvellous job. Special mention also to Dimitra and Dimitris in the restaurant who mainly looked after us. We went into town a few evenings after dinner, which was lovely. Great shops and bars - a really nice vibe. The older kids stayed on and went clubbing, walking back to the hotel in the early hours. We booked the taxis through reception, same as previous reviewer, taxi 14 and 15. We didn’t find this a problem at all and was a very efficient service. It would seem you should book your return with the taxi driver before you get out, which we did and all worked well. There is a small shop on site that sells big bottles of water at 0.5€ a bottle, snacks, sweets, balls. We bought all our water there. We also booked a 5 hour boat trip through the water sports guys on the beach. The boat owner was called Adonis. This was great fun. We stopped off at various beaches and coves, lots of diving off the boat, bit of snorkelling, and a lovely barbecue lunch of lamb and local sausages with a big Greek salad with bread, soft drinks and beers, and fruit for pud. We had the boat to ourselves and think it worked out to about £30 a head. Money well spent! See pics below. We hired a pedalo with a slide, few of the kids went waterskiing too. We all had such a great week. The beach and sea are amazing. I admit I didn’t go near the pool. I didn’t even see it. The allocated sunbeds worked well. Thankyou to all involved for making our holiday so enjoy
