Pros:

Die Lage kurz vor Matala. Der Inhaber hat sich uns angenommen.

Cons:

Die Appartements gegenüber vom Hotel sind für 3 Erwachsene nicht geeignet. Das Personal hat die Glutenunverträglichkeit unsere Tochter nicht verstanden.

Pros:

Très bien situé près du quartier très vivant de la plage de Matala mais au calme, cet hôtel offre une base idéale pour profiter de la région. A signaler un excellent petit déjeuner

Cons:

La salle de bain un peu vieillotte dans une chambre et le frigo un peu bruyant dans l'autre chambre.

Pros:

Al momento dell'arrivo al posto della camera prenotata,ci hanno dato una suite senza dover pagare differenze.La colazione e la cena erano a buffet,con molta scelta, buoni e abbondanti.C'e compreso anche l'uso della piscina.

Cons:

Se proprio vogliamo trovare un difetto,un po' distante dal mare,ma fattibile circa 500/700 MT.

un trés bon séjour à Matala pour la 2éme fois ;)
Pros:

Nous avions pris demi-pension. Déjeuner buffet continental et buffet au diner. bien pour notre durée de 2 nuits.
Le parking sur le lieu de l'établissement. La piscine , et la plage proche de l'établissement ainsi que le centre de Matala à 5 min à pied.

Cons:

Aucune boisson comprise lors du repas du soir (en supplément), un soft ou un verre de vin aurait était bien. (aprés pris raisonnable )

Disappointing alternative offered.
Pros:

The hotel looked lovely, clean pool, lots of sunbeds. Clean dining area and lots of variety for breakfast.

Cons:

Unfortunately, they had overbooked, so we didn't get to stay in the hotel, we were put into an apartment nearly 1km away from the hotel, which meant we had to drive to use the pool, go to the beach and eat at tavernas as it was not in walking distance.
It would have been far worse if we hadn't had a car.
The beds in the apartment were as hard as wood, which was also disappointing.
