What guests liked
The beach area is lovely and clean with clear water and plenty of sun loungers available. (14 reviews)
The pool was super fun for kids and well-maintained with plenty of sun loungers available. (6 reviews)
The all-inclusive package was amazing, including meals, drinks, and alcohol, and exceeded expectations. (3 reviews)
Don’t pick this hotel. Although the beach is great, service and food are terrible. It was really disappointing and I hoped I had read a review like this one to avoid staying there for our summer holidays.

Beautiful property in terms of the grounds and landscaping. Beaches had clear water. the pool was super fun for the kids. The food was great. Granted it is not a Michelin star restaurant as you're not paying for that kind of level but I felt that everyone could find what they wanted in terms of salads, veggies, protein, deserts. The cleaning crew was excellent. They cleaned the room every single day and they did a great job. The check in staff was very helpful especially Elvis went above and beyond.
I think its a great value for the money but you also have to go at a time when the hotel is not overwhelmed meaning if they are at full capacity you have to be more patient. If you go in May like we did or September and after chances are you will be much more satisfied than going at the peak of the season.

This hotel is absolutely AMAZING. The staff is amazing and extremely helpful. We could not have had a vacation to Greece without the hotel staff. The all inclusive package was amazing and included all of our meals and drinks and alcohol. The staff helped us book transportation to all of the places we traveled throughout Greece, and I would highly recommend this hotel to anybody in the future. If you’re going to Greece, this is the place to stay.

We had the all inclusive package. The food was repetitive and similar to a cafeteria. Nothing was really outstanding food and drink wise. We left the hotel a few times to eat at local restaurants. The resort was under renovations and there was only one restaurant with strange hours. The disco and beach restaurants were not available and there was no mini club for the kids. There was one store to buy souvenirs but again with the strange hours- closed from 2 until 7pm I believe. No evening events, dances or activities. The first night our AC was broken but they gave us a fan until the next day when it was fixed by an external company.
On the plus side, the resort has impeccable landscaping with beautiful flowers. The place was clean and located in a very peaceful quiet area with lots of nature. Lovely to drive in the Peloponnese from Athens. Perfect location to have day trips to Hydra, Spetses and Poros.

Mixed stay great setting, but not the right fit for us
Overall we had a pleasant enough experience, but it ultimately didn’t fully match what we were looking for.
The resort itself is in a beautiful location right on the water, with a nice private beach and plenty of sunbeds and seating options. The beach area was definitely a bonus. with views across to Hydra. The room was fine standard but entry door not much soundproofing.
That said, the overall atmosphere felt very much geared towards families with young children. It was quite a busy resort, especially towards our final night when a large number of guests arrived, and at times it felt crowded and lively in a way that didn’t suit the kind of quiet couples escape we had in mind.
The buffet was fine but nothing particularly memorable good enough for convenience, but not a standout aspect of the stay.
While the hotel itself is well maintained and the staff were generally pleasant and professional, we personally didn’t feel it was the best match for us as a gay couple. At times we felt a little uncomfortable due to the general guest environment, not because of the hotel staff, but simply the mix and atmosphere of the resort.
In fairness, we did spend a lot of our time exploring other nearby areas, which we really enjoyed, but that also highlighted that the resort itself wasn’t quite aligned with our travel style.
Overall, a nice property in a beautiful setting, but more of a family focused resort.

If you are looking for complete relaxation this is a perfect spot. Beautiful gardens, beautiful beach and pool. Great gym, spa was great too!
Staff is friendly and Kristina in the reception was so welcoming and professional.
Food was nice and very wide selection, although its difficult to serve great meals everyday in a buffét.
My room was a little dated but it was still a clean and nice room. Great with a little shop too where you can buy suncreen, souvenirs etc. I did not leave the premises for the whole time.

The bungalow was very comfortable and clean and the pool and beach areas were nice and well maintained. However for a family with a very young child, there were limited play area options (playground), specially not indoors or in an air conditioned area.
The food served in the main buffet was not the best quality, and the limited hours to access food made it very challenging for our young son. There was only snacks (bad quality sandwiches and hot dogs) throughout the day, with no access to fresh fruit or vegetables like in previous all inclusive resort we have stayed in.
The food served at their a la carte restaurant was significantly better, but there are limited opportunities to book it throughout your stay.
The drive to the hotel is also quite long from Athens, and 2/3 of the drive are through very local roads.
We had a great time as a family, but we would not be coming back as we are looking for a more child friendly experience.

This property is perfect for a relaxing stay away. The staff are all very friendly and during our stay (mid-Sep) there were plenty of sunloungers at the beach and the pool. There is a lovely spa availaible on site.
The buffet was fine but i would not say it was 5 star quality. The other restaurant was also closed so there were no other options except to drive or take a taxi into Ermioni (about 10mins away). The all inclusive only had the buffet as an option which was slightly disappointing. The only evening bar, that wasnt the restaurant, was not included in the all inclusive deal, which meangt nobody went there and resulted in there not being a great atmosphere in the evenings. We ended up driving elsewhere, which is not always what you anticipate when go all inclusive.
A very relaxing hotel but ensure you have a car to explore the nearby towns of ermioni, galatas, potos and hydra. All worth visiting.

Could be better
This does not feel like a 5* hotel, with very basic rooms and some frustratingly easy things to just get right being ignored. I was with my husband and 3 teenage girls. The evening entertainment was ok but the girls were quite bored. Rooms are perfectly functional and big, but lack any character- bare walls and characterless furniture. There is nothing in the minbar (even though we were all inclusive) and the girls were constantly running out of shampoo and conditioner which was not being topped up. Paying for drinks in the only bar open with any entertainment was unexpected- nothing available as part of all inclusive. Pool is salt water which is a shame, but not the end of the world. Lots of smaller children so pool noisy. Food was unimaginative and same-y and not all coffee machines working in the morning. Juice from machines tastes like squash. On the plus side the staff were generally good and the gardens etc very pretty. Like I said, most of these things are so easy to put right, and have been repeatedly raised as issues on various platforms! Put these right and it will be a good value venue.

There was plenty food but some of the dishes were really low quality, especially the ham and cheese for breakfast ( the cheapest one) and the sweets. The main problem with the food expect the quality was that for every meal you needed to wait in such a big queue cause there was just a single line. In the beginning I think for dinner some of the main dishes you could find in the bemars next to main dishes, however after fee days they didn't place any food there...
There is a big problem for families with stroller, we have requested ground floor for this in advance and they have accommodated us in a room with stairs...
In the main building there is no place to change baby, there is something like changing table however not sure who would use it as it is made of hard plastic no way to change there little baby. I was doing that using my changing mat on the couch. There are 3 organized beaches but only 1 shower spot ( during my stay out of order for 4-5 days). They don't pick up mattress from seabeds on the grass so in the morning they are all wet ( cause of watering the grass).
The restaurant for reservations only is a joke, the same food just served nice on plate, they brought our starter cold and after complain they did change it - I assume in microwave - was cold inside...

They charge extra for iced coffee, even if you paid for the all inclusive. They wouldn’t let us stay for lunch after checkout, even though we hadn’t eaten lunch upon arrival
We were waiting for over 30 mins for the car to help with the luggage, but it never came :(
