Gerne wieder
Pros:

Sehr gute Lage, in der Nähe der Partystraße, aber doch etwas zurück. Sehr nette Besitzer. Zimmer war sauber und gut ausgestattet. Hab mich sehr wohl gefühlt

Cons:

Nachts ist die Partystraße zu hören, das sollte man wissen bevor man die Unterkunft bucht.

Amazing for female and lgbT travellers
Pros:

From the moment I arrived at iCandy Sol, I was greeted with the warmest hugs and a cheeky raki shot – the perfect welcome that set the tone for an unforgettable stay. But what truly made this place feel like home was Cola. Every single day started with her sweet voice calling out, “Hello baby!”, and from that moment on, we felt so safe, so loved, and so cared for.

Cola isn’t just a host – she’s a heart. She looked after our wellbeing like we were her own family. On my birthday, she went above and beyond to make me feel incredibly special, and it’s moments like those that I’ll carry with me forever. She was always full of fun, ready to sit with you for hours, sharing stories, laughter, and her beautiful energy.

The accommodation itself was perfect – the rooms were lovely, spotlessly clean, and amazingly priced. The pool was always pristine, and the poolside bar made every afternoon feel like a holiday dream. Our spacious balcony was the cherry on top – the ideal spot to relax and soak it all in.

The location was amazing. Right on the strip. 15 minutes from the beach if you can walk past the promotors fast enough. (Make sure to try the gyros at fire and ice. Say hi to Nik the Greek for me)

Saying goodbye to Cola was the hardest part, but as she always says, “It’s never goodbye, only see you later.” And we believe that with all our hearts. Thank you, Cola, for making iCandy Sol feel like a second home. We’ll miss you dearly.

With love,
Dani 💛
