Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is perfectly located in Platanes on the main street parallel to the sea and really close to the beach. The rooms are spacious with lovely balconies, but the dining, although it offers dishes from Greek cuisine, has limited options. The service stands out as the staff is always ready to help, offering various amenities. A great value for money stay overall.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms were spacious and modern, the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. However, the dining experience left something to be desired with limited options. The location was convenient and close to the beach, and the facilities were top-notch.
