Una vacanza da sogno
Pros:

Colazione ottima ed abbondante: ampia possibilità di scelta dal dolce al salato alla frutta; tutto ciò che si poteva desiderare.
Posizione ottima: bastava attraversare la strada per trovarsi nella bellissima spiaggia di Platys Gialos. Inoltre la struttura si trova al centro dell'abitato. Eccezionale l'accoglienza, la disponibilità e la professionalità di Maria.
Bellissime le piante davanti la struttura, in particolare una bouganvillea rosa che decorava le terrazze con vista mare rendendole uniche.

Cons:

Mi è piaciuto tutto.

Excellent séjour
Pros:

Accueil chaleureux et très bons échanges tout au long de notre séjour. L'hôtel bien situé et pratique, face à la mer et non loin des restaurants, épiceries, arrêt de bus. La montagne pour les randonnées rapidement accessible. la chambre avec balcon confortable et agréable. Nous recommandons vivement. Tout s'est vraiment bien passé. le plus c'est certainement la gentillesse de la patronne et de son mari, la qualité du lieu, un petit déjeuner très copieux.

Pros:

Extremely good location in platis gialos, best beach on the island, having hired a car to tour about! Maria is very helpful, arranging taxi to and from the port ,about 20 mins €30 ! Communication prior to arrival was was great and very prompt . A plethora of superb beachfront restaurants all within 3 min walk ! Room was a reasonable size with big patio seating area ! Bathroom is on the compact side with the typical greek style shower ,which had good power and temperature! Beach towels are provided. We stayed 6 nights in total and Maria sorted out our laundry.very good value for money for platis gialos! Room was thoroughly cleaned and sheets and towels changed everyday! We will be back to stay next year !

Cons:

If having to find a negative point, I'd say the towels and linen were quite rough,but it was end of season and will probably be rectified before next!

Great stay for a few days.
Pros:

The room was so clean, the staff did a great job. The location is perfect. Please remember to research how to get here as there are only 10 taxis on the whole island. You need to call and reserve if you would like to go for the main city Apollonia. The service is amazing and the hotel is just 1 minute away from the sea.

Cons:

The windows at the side of the mountains can move around quite a bit so you hear the doors clap and move a bit through out the night. The staff is aware of it but luckily my earplugs helped.

I had a room near the breakfast area which was situated in the middle of the hotel, so I could hear people talking from 07:30 in the morning which was a bit too early for me. It is how the building is made.
