Décevant et rien à voir avec les photos
Pros:

Chambre basic moderne avec kit produits offerts.

Cons:

Piscine très sale et glacée. Extérieur qui n'a rien à voir avec les photos. Mal entretenu. Et herbe et sol plein de crotte de chat. Petit déjeuner assez décevant... pas de produits locaux ou fait maison (jus industriels, miel en barquette non local, idem confiture). Le personnel est heureusement sympa. Notre chambre était sale, plein de fourmi. Pas du tout insonorisé ! Éclairage extérieur qui gêne pour dormir...

Pros:

The hotel is really nice. Small town hotel but very cozy and clean. Perfect location. Modern and new. Breakfasts were standard european with some local fresh pies. Nothing special but big choice and tasty (home feeling))). Stuff was really friendly and helped us with transfer from the airport, taxi to go around and table in local taverna to celebrate our son's birthday ❤
Rooms are not big but there is everything you can need (we had room with 2 separate bedrooms and 2 queen size beds. Beds and pillows were very comfortable, bed linen/towels were good quality and crystal white. AC were strong. Fantastic view from the balcony on the sunrise, sea and mountains 🤩
For the 3* town hotel it's perfect!

Polecam.
Pros:

Apartament duży i wygodny, lokalizacja.

Cons:

Śniadania bardzo monotonne, co przy dłuższym pobycie jednak przeszkadza. Bardzo mało miejsc siedzących jeśli chodzi o spożywanie śniadania. Mało personelu.

Da dimenticare
Pros:

Era partita la vacanza nei migliori dei modi. Una struttura nuova con buoni servizi come accappatoio e ciabatte e colazione discreta. Ma poi....

Cons:

Durante la notte è scoppiato un incendio che ha provocato un fumo acre e ci ha costretto ad evacuare in piena notte. Totale assenza di personale ed una volta arrivato ( dopo più di un'ora)il responsabile non si è preoccupato minimamente di rasserenare gli ospiti provati da tanto spavento. È un comportamento assolutamente incommentabile. Ottimo potenziale ma organizzazione da rivedere

Soggiorno a due passi dalla spiaggia di Kalamaki.
Pros:

Le camere sono moderne e dotate di ogni comfort. Il letto molto comodo. Il bagno accogliente e pulito, gli asciugamani sono stati cambiati tutti i giorni. Bello il terrazzino presente in camera. Parcheggio in loco anche se piccolino. Lo yogurt e la frutta della colazione molto buoni e freschi. L’hotel si trova letteralmente a due passi dalla spiaggia di kalamaki, perciò se non si vuole guidare si può andare lì al mare.

Cons:

La colazione varia ma andrebbe ne migliorata l’offerta gastronomica e cambiata la macchina del caffè, purtroppo non erogava un buon caffè. Andrebbe migliorata l’attenzione al cliente, il primo giorno purtroppo l’addetta alle pulizie della camera ha avuto un malore e giustamente non ha potuto provvedere al riassetto ma siamo stati avvisati con un foglio in camera e comunque i cestini della spazzatura sono stati svuotati. Il secondo giorno le pulizie sono saltate un’altra volta o meglio sono state effettuate parzialmente: il letto non è stato rifatto, le tazze utilizzate per il caffè non sostituite e i teli non cambiati ad entrambi gli ospiti, sono stato però cambiati i cestini. Ad altri ospiti presenti in struttura, nonché nostri compagni di viaggio, la camera è stata rassettata completamente, perciò non ne abbiamo compreso bene il motivo.
