Upon entry one feels it is a ship! The top floor is the first floor. A spectacular view but sadly only a semi renovated hotel. After that joyous view it then becomes tiresome all the way down 6 floors to the beach, which is very small and all small pebbles , the type that make you wince. The hotel has also encouraged adjacent cruise boat moorings , probably to add a glitzy style. But of course to the detriment of hotel swimmers. The expansive and beautiful sea was just a permanent ‘sea of bubbles’ . Nobody likes swimming in pollution even if the view is wonderful! The hotel’s pandering to these nautical terrors is manifest on the top floor where all the renovation money has been poured into chrome and mirror roof top bars and restaurants for these high paying visitors at night. Regular guests are not so looked after. The breakfast room is like a school refectory and woe betide those with baby and pram. No ramp just steps after steps. In fact if one wants to get fit then this is the hotel for you. Just steps and more steps. And they cant claim a double lift because they may have decorated this cramped space with shiny surfaces but it is still the old fashioned style which means 2 passengers and not much else. Lengthy waits face those wanting breakfast! The hotel is obviously from the 70s era and the renovations have only been on the surfaces. The rooms bear witness. The corridor outside our room was an astonishing to behold procession of wall mounted old fashions air con units all neatly painted over but not changed! And if you want a clean and tidy 1970s bathroom then this is for you! All the fixtures and fittings are from that age. The reception will point out in their defense that the bed is a Cocomat, the best on the world market and sleep quality is indeed very good. They will also add that the other-side of the hotel is 100% fully renovated, so make sure you ask for this, even if an extra 50e per night? There is a beach kitchen stroke bar on the first level above the beach. Not at all a fun place and certainly not Greek in the hospitality sense. Probably because the owners do not care. They have a captive audience, can charge what they like and have no inclination to be welcoming. Which means most guests jump in their cars and head for the better eateries in the Port. The owners pay no attention to the Greek Experience and prefer something more antiseptic and boring. We shall not return.
