We stated here for a three day weekend in the middle of June, my boyfriend emailed ahead for a late check in and to up grade our room to an ocean view. They were very accommodating, we checked in around midnight and were given a gorgeous ocean view without extra charge,
The hotel itself is great with two pool. The beach below is very nice with two different beach bars, with chairs and umbrellas. We ordered a few drinks and did not have to pay for the chairs. The walk down the stairs to the beach would be a little much if you had kids or were older... however, if you have a car you can drive to the beach below (on a dirt raod) or go to other close beaches.
If you do not have a car, the walk into Afytos could be a little too much. We had a car so never did the walk but it was very warm and there is not a lot of shade on teh walk as well as it being a narrow road that I would nto want to walk along. I would recommend a car or calling a cab for trips into town. Afytos itself is gorgeous, with beautiful restaurants along the cliff and lots of fun stores with unique jewelry and fun sourveniers.
A friend recommended to us to continue walking past the church in Afytos towards the water and to eat at one of the restaurants along the cliff. We did this two nights and it was gorgeous!
Overall, this was a gorgeous town, and hotel and the water was great! I would go back in a heart beat.
