"Once again GRECOTEL pleasantly surprised us and made our vacation unforgettable as always The staff was very willing and immediately to serve us in every wish Stavros the manager the staff at the reception (Dimitris etc.) in the restaurant (Irini etc.) in the bar (Maria etc.) all of them impeccable and with a smile on their faces The cleanliness of the rooms at a high level as always The only negative is the return of the bath towel to the reception to give you a clean one. I think something has gone wrong here. Why not leave my used towel as usual at the kiosk and receive a fresh one the next day? Everything else as I said perfect Thank you for your hospitality"

"We loved the self service stations for food whenever, and the number of bars was also great. Loved the number of pools and our private one with access to bigger pool was perfect. Only bad thing was We did the Candle Light dinner, which they forgot to setup when we arrived, so had to come set it up whilst we waited watching, forgot the candles, fairy lights didn’t work etc. Food was good at least. They kindly refunded half the amount due to this which made it worth the money in the end."
