Wonderful and professional staff.
Pros:

Wonderful and professional staff. The apartment was lovely and very well located, close to the beach and within easy walking distance of everything in Platanias.

The daily cleaning was excellent, with towels and bed linen changed frequently. We also really appreciated the thoughtful touches, such as wine and fresh fruit, as well as slippers and other bathroom amenities.

Overall, a very comfortable stay with excellent service.

Sonst ein gelungener Urlaub
Pros:

Die Lage, der Poolbereich, das Essen und die Portionen

Cons:

Frühstück sehr eintönig es gibt immer das selbe, Klimaanlage wurde mal kaputt und hat das halbe Zimmer überschwemmt, das Personal (Kellner) könnten ab und zu mehr lachen und ein bisschen Spaß zeigen an der Arbeit
