Reviews and Ratings
Staying at this hotel was a delightful experience! The rooms were not only clean, comfortable, modern, and stylish but also offered an amazing view of the sea, making it a perfect choice for families. The beds were incredibly comfy, and the showers were strong. However, the dining experience, especially with the strange service, could be improved. The location was great, with easy access to beautiful beaches, but you might need a car to explore the area fully.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel! The rooms were spacious, clean, and had a balcony with an amazing view of the sea where I could enjoy a beautiful sunrise. However, there was a minor issue with a leaking A/C unit that maintenance addressed by placing a towel on the floor. The service by Apostolis and the team was exceptional, very hospitable, and professional. Although the location was perfect for Balos Beach, it was a bit isolated and had limited beach amenities. The dining experience was delightful with a great selection of European dishes. The facilities were modern and well-kept.
Staying at the hotel was a mixed experience. On the bright side, the rooms were spacious and modern, with a convenient makeup vanity area; however, the emergency light and the slit in the room were a bit distracting. The service was exceptional, and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. The location, although close to beautiful beaches, suffered from a poorly developed access road. Dining was delightful with a good spread of Grecian dishes, but the additional cost for some options was a downside.
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The 2-bed apartment layout was perfect for families, with super comfy beds and great showers. The spacious room even had a little kitchen, and the breakfast was really good.
The hotel offers a spacious room with a lovely sea view and quick access to the magical pool. However, the lack of amenities like a makeup vanity area and coffee-making facilities in the room, coupled with overpriced coffee, impacted the overall value.
The hotel offers pretty spacious rooms with a beautiful view, especially on upper floors with balconies overlooking the swimming pool and sea. The staff is friendly and chatty, making the stay pleasant. The location is good, close to Balos Lagoon and Kissamos City, but beware of the area's traffic challenges. The dining experience is average but provides a varied selection of Greek foods. Overall, a paradise stay with some minor drawbacks.
