Truly relaxing holiday!
Fabulous modern hotel and genuinely helpful friendly staff make for a wonderful relaxing holiday. Stayed for a week on full board so we dined in Saffron for our meals. (All inclusive offers more choice for dining) Although a little repetitious the food was delicious and there was plenty of choice. Staff in Saffron were great and the terrace is really nice. We are inside only once. We had the option to dine at the local seafood restaurant one evening. We enjoyed our meal while watching the sunset in this quaint seaside village. Our family room overlooking the sea was spacious and very comfortable. Really good shower and quality toiletries. Towels were changed daily and the bed linen was changed half way during our stay. The a/c was quiet and effective. A large bottle of water was provided daily. We mostly visited the beach and swam in the sea. The pebble beach is beautiful with clear turquoise water. There are lifeguards in attendance. The hotel pool is very shallow and for the size of the hotel could in my view be larger. It’s popular with families with children so not a ‘swimmers’ pool. We didn’t spend much time at the pool as we preferred the beach. The guys at the beach provide and excellent waiter service bringing towels, drinks and food to guests. There were always sun beds available during our stay. There is also a small beach bar a short walk along the beach. A couple of points to consider. As this is a very family friendly hotel dining can be rather noisy particularly at breakfast and dinner. The catamaran cruise to Paxos at 180 euros per person looked super and is popular. It was full with a waiting list when we tried to book. This was disappointing as the next cruise to Paxos was on our day of departure. There were other trips/excursions but these were in my view prohibitively expensive.
