Pros:

This hotel is so special! We were warmly greeted by Effie at reception. She was kind, attentive and gave us recommendations for restaurants/cafes in the area. She looked after our bags as we arrived early and when we returned the bags were in our room. Beautiful spacious rooms, enormous bed, all the amenities you need including coffee machine. There is a roof top bar/pool, lounge area. Buffet breakfast was phenomenal! Location is fantastic. 5 minute walk to/from port. About the same to the city centre. Most importantly the attentive staff... all at the reception desk to the breakfast staff, bar/pool staff, cleaners etc the attention to detail is impeccable. We felt very special because of them.
