Great location, fab staff, tasty and varied breakfast, very comfortable and lovely rooms, amazing garden with lovely poo
Pros:

Almost everything! I have been visiting this hotel since 2017 and it never disappoints. Lovely breakfast, such a variety of hot and fresh food, always topped up. Always great rooms, clean, well looked after, with comfortable beds and soft linen and towels. Great staff, many of whom are the family that run the hotel. Always helpful and polite. Absolutely amazing garden with beautiful flowers, real lawn, and a lovely swimming pool. The location is perfect, far enough from the middle of town to offer a relaxing stay, but easily close enough to pop to the beach caves and restaurants. I really enjoy staying here, it is becoming my home away from home!

Cons:

The one tiny little niggle from me is that the swimming pool closes earlier each year. It used to be 8pm, but I struggled to swim after 5pm. I understand it cannot be open all evening, but until 7 or 8 pm surely isn’t too late.

Soggiorno piacevole e rilassante
Pros:

Struttura vicino al centro di Matala e alle spiagge. Arrivati in albergo non era più disponibile la nostra stanza, ma hanno rimediato con una soluzione migliore, molto gradita!!
Confortevole la zona interna dell’albergo, con piscina e parte dedicata ai pasti. Staff gentile e disponibile

Cons:

Migliorabile la qualità del cibo
