    The balcony door in our room was stuck when we checked in, and it was not possible to go out to the balcony. When we wanted to change room we were informed the hotel is full therefore we can’t. The maintenance team arrived the next day and fixed the door, but that meant that we were not able to use the balcony for 1 day, and flies and wasps went into our room due to the slightly open stuck door, which was not pleasant.

    We booked a 3 people room with a sofa bed, but the reception team kindly gave us a room with 3 single beds. The breakfast is extremely good. The hotel has beach access so that was helpful, although sun bed amount was very limited and it was difficult to find an empty one. The location of the hotel is really good and it’s short walking distance to tavernas and restaurants. We also enjoyed the cocktails at the pool bar.

    Bathroom needed some TLC.

    Buffett breakfast was plentiful and you will enjoy. I did like the option for Greek coffee that you could make on your own. I skipped breakfast a couple of times as on full board and there was soooo much food. All amazing and staff were very friendly and professional. We had the full board and it was really good choice, fresh well cooked and amazing taste. My kids particularly enjoyed the chicken fillet and the burgers. But for me the highlight was the pasta with prawns and mastic. Amazing!!! The room was comfortable and had everything we needed. We were almost ready when we booked because of the reviews to fork out 3 times as much for a 5 star and I'm glad we did not. This is a decent and clean hotel. Yes dated but with character. If you are super fussy maybe not the place for you. If you are going for the sun and the beach or sightseeing then just book and you will not regret it. May I give my compliments to restaurant staff they were amazing. Reception also was giving a quick comfortable experience and check in and check out. Sorry forgot to mention balcony door was not locking but we were not bothered as it was super safe anyway. Maybe just a recommendation. A drying line on the balcony for the swimsuits. All great and thank you.

    Unfortunately, the bussiness progress over our last year experience was worse for reasons listed below: 1-Inadequate beach staffs ( like umbrella etc.), people are always stressed of being late to beach in their holiday? 2- Poor housekeeping - each day something was missing in the room.. Towels, bed cover seats for child bed, shampoos etc. Even the empty bottles filled with cigarettes were taken from the balcony (solution was the Customer own effort:) , but no ash tray was put onto the table for 3 days instead of our taken empty bottles. Why? 3- Lack of service staff - when you called reception to kindly order something (4 times), answer was lovely but "can you please come, and take it yourself" 4- Construction needs some regeneration for rooms, especially in bathrooms. You are again under stress of having wet surfaces and sand everywhere in the room after shower and it is even not good for safety reasons. Come on , year is 2025 :( 5- Poor WiFi

    Hotel is "oldies, but goldies" in Karfas/ Chios. Wide beach, and good for children. Breakfast was enough. It was our second year in this hotel; we preffered it to expand our holiday as it was OK from last year experience.

    Swimming pool a bite old. The staff at the restaurant seem unhappy except for a few staff.

    Location, cleaning, The hotel has a private beach, sea, swimming pool, breakfast and Lemnia from reception staff (She is friendly and sweet staff). I can advise Taverna Pinaleon Restaurant for for fresh sea food. It is so close to hotel.

    Pillows were hard. I was glad I had my own.

    Plenty of parking. Very helpful and friendly staff. Room was a good size. Nice view over the Aegean from the balcony. Good shower. Comfortable bed. Older style resort type accommodation but still nice. Excellent breakfast with a choice of a Greek breakfast or western breakfast. Choices of hot and cold food that was fresh and tasty. Other meals and drinks were available. Big swimming pool.

    The facilities are getting a little old, but perhaps that is made up for by the lower price point.

    There were no ingredient labels on some of the breakfast items.I put an omelet on mu daughter’s plate and she started eating it. The omelet was fluffy and I saw meat at the bottom. We asked if it was pork and they said yes. In a hotel with a lot of Muslim guests, this needs to be clearly stated. We had breakfast in many hotels in Europe and we had never encountered such a situation.

    Access to the sea is easy, the sea is shallow and there is a sandy beach, ideal for families with children. The staff is helpful and friendly.

    The property is becoming dated and could do with some refurbishment. There was no entertainment although in the past I believe they had a weekly Greek Night with food and music.

    I liked the staff and the service. Food was good also and available at all times. Breakfast was OK, when it was busy it was chaotic and I was unable to get a table. I would come again.

    Didn’t have a kettle or any coffee making facilities ,

    At first glance the hotel was getting on a bit. As the days went on we did warm up to the place . Breakfast was good we also had dinner there which was really good . Close to,the airport with a pleasant sandy beach out the front . Pool was overflowing with kids so didn’t go anywhere near there . Overall I would probably stay there again . P.s restaurants and bars about 150 meters away
