“10 minute walk to the beach and your kids might prefer to stay in the water park..”
The food was excellent. The children's attractions and the animation program for children and adults were good.

Overall we as a family of 4 enjoyed our 7night stay, however there were a few improvements that could be considered. The food for a 5* all inclusive wasn’t great in the main restaurant. Since this is a kids hotel I was surprised there was no kids food section, plates or cutlery for the little ones. Pizza, kebab and ice cream bar were very good and staff extremely friendly. The kids club again was pretty average and not much going on throughout the day. Mainly drawing and colouring. There are many swimming pools and water slides throughout the resort which were always clean and well maintained. Our kids loved this part. The family room with dividing door was spacious, lots of storage for clothes etc and was cleaned good daily by the staff. Again very friendly. The bar service was excellent and all staff super nice. Drinks were good except the local beer which always seemed flat. Hope this helps the next person booking their stay.

Very nice place for a family holiday, had a great time in the pool and the bar especially. Food in buffet was very nice and had very diverse options. Waterpark was very fun and all the slides had their own unique experience. Staff were very friendly and always happy to help. Will definitely be returning and would recommend to all Lots of activities to do for kids, many different pools (water might be a bit too cool, could be warmer), very good service at restaurants and bars.

We really enjoyed our stay in this resort as the personnel were helpful and kind, there were multiple facilities such as a gym, spa, an arcade and a waterpark. We also liked how everything was close by and not scattered around the resort as it covered a big area of land. The resort was also near the beach ( around 5 min walk) which was nice. The restaurants also had a variety of different cuisines which made eating meals enjoyable. Overall the resort was a great place to stay for a family trip!

We stayed at the hotel as a family of five and had a truly wonderful experience. The food was excellent and we enjoyed every meal. The hotel staff were extremely helpful and always provided great service with a smile. Our room was cleaned daily, and fresh towels were provided every day. The pools and water slides were a lot of fun and added so much to our stay. Overall, we had a very positive experience and would definitely recommend this hotel to others.

“Fantastic all-inclusive resort”
Very friendly staff, nice rooms and excellent food. We were lucky to get upgraded to the swim-up suites, which can really be recommended, if you want access to a pool, that is a bit more peaceful than the main pools. The water slides are fun. Visit the close by Skotino Cave, if you like a bit of adventure. It is free, there are almost no tourists and it is really beautiful. You should bring headlamps though, if you want to get to the bottom as it is quite a climb and not recommended with only one hand free. We found headlamps in an electricity store ca 10 minutes walk from the resort. You can do the top half of the cave without headlamps.

“For those who don't care about hygiene in the room”
We fell in love with the baker at the pizza stand, he makes divine pizzas, and the same goes for the other food stands. Everyone smiles, works with love, you can feel it Dining room: The food is good overall, we really enjoyed the vegetables, the wonderful salads (the person who makes the vegetable salad decorations is creative and talented at a world-class level) The fruits are sweet and very good The desserts are excellent :Pools Lots of pools, all clean, lots of places to sunbathe .Pools suitable for children and adults
