This place was marketed as “luxury living” and the price they charge is a luxury price. We paid AUD 921 for 3 nights including breakfast. It was NOT worth anything like that price. In terms of quality it was only worth AUD 450. The photos are seductive and the promise of a deluxe Seaview suite had us fooled. The place also claims to be a hotel - it isn’t. It’s constructed as apar**ents, but operates as a quasi hotel/ serviced apar**ent, but yet is neither. There were no common areas except the pool and no dining area. In fact, the reception is located in a ground floor apar**ent. Yet, it was not a proper apar**ent either. Far from the billed full service kitchen, there was no microwave, just an old rusty 2 burner plug-in stove. The kitchen had no knives, except from one small chopping knife. If you wanted to self cater, you could not do that either. Far from luxury, I would describe it as Spartan. The mattress on the bed is thin and you could feel every spring. The living room furniture actually comprises mostly wooden boxes with thin mattresses on top. The furnishings were sp**** in a huge space. The living/kitchen/dining room was huge, but with a tiny TV tucked in the corner. The breakfast was delivered on a tray to the room, but no choice or options were offered. While over generous, more than you could eat, it was mostly carbohydrate - lots of bread, croissants, pastries, pies, cake etc, though a boiled egg was always included. But the cheese and ham were very low quality and in Greece you usually expect some tomatoes and cucumber and feta cheese. The breakfast had to come with wooden fork and knife, no doubt due to the lack of knives in the room. The place is also very noisy in terms of furnishings and fit out. Every time a person upstairs moved furniture it was audible in our apar**ent. Likewise the noise of flushing toilets above was audible in the bedroom. And when people above returned in the early hours it was like a herd of elephants! Most of the other people staying were UK residents on TUI packages, evident by the prominent TUI marketing paraphernalia at the front door. I safely assume they were not charged anything like the AUD 307 (£164/€193) per night that we were charged. The only reason to give this place 2/5 instead of 1/5 is due to the view and the size of the apar**ent and balcony, plus the staff, who were all very pleasant.
