Könnte ein richtig tolles Hotel sein!
Pros:

Das Hotel war insgesamt äußerst sauber, das Personal super freundlich und unser Zimmer (zu unserer Überraschung Familienzimmer) großzügig und gut ausgestattet mit bequemen Betten.
Schöner Strand direkt am Hotel.
Genügend Parkraum vorhanden.

Cons:

Kleine Mängel im Bereich des Zimmers und auf auf dem Balkon, d.h. defektes Fliegengitter, teilweise defekte Balkonbeleuchtung und total kaputter Wand-Wäschetrockner!
Strandbar wurde am Tag nach unserer Anreise und eine Woche vor Saisonende geschlossen und jegliche Sitzgelegenheit abgeräumt.
Der eigentlich sehr ansprechende Hausstrand war ungepflegt und die wenigen verbliebenen Sonnenschirme größtenteils defekt (saisonbedingt?), was den Gesamteindruck merklich getrübt hat.

Pros:

La spiaggia dell'hotel è bella per la posizione e per il mare, non era però molto curata (forse perchè a fine stagione?). Colazione buona con varietà di scelta. Abbiamo usufruito del trattamento di half board. Voglio segnalare la professionalità, disponibilità e gentilezza di Manolas che gestiva il ristorante alla sera. Tutto lo staff dell'hotel molto disponibile e gentile..

A little gem of a hotel
Pros:

Friendly staff, such a lovely clean hotel. Our room was spotless with a lovely sea view. Breakfast was good and plentiful choice.
We visited in October so sadly the lovely beach bar was closed, but there are plenty along the beach to visit. The hotel is situated on the beach and it is really gorgeous 😍 This was our second visit!

Cons:

That we had to leave.

Cons:

Kansantanssi ryhmän harjoitukset koko meidän oleskeluajan joka päivä useampaan kertaan myöhäiseen iltaan asti. Valtasivat aamupäivisin ulkoilmaravintolan, ja iltaisin sisätilassa soi musiikki kello 23:00 asti. Tätä samaa valittavaa musisointia oli joka päivä.

Camera passabile il resto MOLTO da migliorare
Pros:

Camera e posizione hotel

Cons:

Spiaggia trascurata con posti spiaggia sporchi ed abbandonati (a differenza delle strutture vicine ordinate). Colazione passabile ma molto limitata, cena da dimenticare (se la provi non la ripeti più). Spazi comuni da abbandonare alle 23 x lamentele della clientela anziana che vuole riposare. Poco personale con servizio minimo

Sehr schöne Woche
Pros:

Sehr schöne Lage, toller Blick vom Balkon. Sehr gutes Frühstück mit frisch gepresstem Orangensaft und sehr gutem Brot und tollen Backwaren. Sehr hilfreiche Rezeption mit guten Tipps.

Cons:

Leider lag unser Zimmer mit direktem Meerblick 2 Stockwerke über dem Restaurant daher sehr lautes Stühle rücken zu hören abends bis ca. 22/23h und morgens ab 7.30h. Ansonsten war es ruhig.

Soggiorno e struttura perfetta
Pros:

Ottimo soggiorno di tre notti. La struttura è molto carina, camera spaziosa, letto comodo, con vista mare. Presente box doccia. Wi-Fi perfetto.
Sala ristorante molto bella. Colazione molto variegata con dolce e salato, e frutta. Ottimo succo di arancia. Personale gentile. Un saluto particolare ad Annamaria della reception. Gentile al nostro arrivo e per tutta la durata del soggiorno Ci ha accompagnato alla camera indicandoci tutti i servizi della struttura. È presente un parcheggio e un piccolo supermercato. Il centro di kissamos è raggiungibile a piedi in 10-15 minuti

Muy bien, recomiendo
Pros:

La atención del personal, sobre todo una señora rubia que estaba por las mañanas. El bar de playa, señora come muy bien. La playa con sus propias hamacas y el balcón con vista al mar vale la pena.
El desayuno está bien, pero no es una locura, podrían mejorarlo un poco.

Cons:

El aire acondicionado es muy ruidoso, parece una turbina ruidosa dentro de la habitación, y decidimos dormir con las ventanas abiertas.
La ventana de nuestro baño se abría al balcón de otra habitación, lo cual era extremadamente incómodo, ya que no se podía abrir sin que te vean los otros huéspedes.
