I had a meal at a restaurant, and my waffle took thirty minutes to arrive after I placed my order. Moreover, I requested water, but they never brought it to me.

The beach is really peaceful, the ocean is amazing, and they serve excellent, strong coffee. I'm definitely going to try their delicious-looking food on my next visit.

The hotel is fantastic. The staff is friendly and always willing to assist. They have private parking available. The sunbeds and restaurant tables are just a meter away from the beach. The hotel is located in a peaceful area, yet only a 30-minute drive from Dion and Mount Olympus.

8 Very good

The hotel is a charming family-owned establishment with a warm and inviting atmosphere. It has a modern yet relaxed ambiance. The staff are friendly and professional, providing exceptional service. Both the hotel and its surroundings are pristine and well-maintained, boasting impeccable cleanliness. Each room is equipped with air conditioning and a high-definition television that offers both local and international channels. Situated just a short stroll away from the main strip in town, the hotel ensures a peaceful and worry-free experience. While the beach in front may have a slightly rocky shoreline, there is a stunning sand bar a few meters from the shore. The hotel provides swim shoes, flippers, masks, and other amenities for your convenience. Additionally, bicycles are available for guests to use. The staff members are fluent in multiple languages, and the food and drinks offered are of excellent quality. Not to mention, the hotel offers breathtaking views of the sea and Mount Olympus. I highly recommend this place.
