Lots and lots of steps and ramps. Not a hotel for someone who needs extra help to get around Golf carts help but it still not to the beach. Beach is beautiful but small. Lots of steps to get down to beach. Plain beach chairs that fill up quickly Breakfast was lovely, pool was beautiful. Dinner was good one evening. Bed was hard but similar to other places. View was amazing. Wonderful front desk

The pool area was amazing. And the staff was nice. The room was clean however it smelled like a moldy basement. The air conditioner has issues turning on. And the shower head in the bathroom did not work. Overall I would not recommend this property

The view was absolutely stunning- we had a balcony overlooking the sea and the sunset. Apartment was very comfortable. We will certainly go back! Spectacular view from the bar for evening drinks & restaurant for a breakfast. Location is great if you have a car as situated on the hill between Glossa and Loutraki. You can walk to either town or the nearest bus stop on narrow winding roads. Highly recommended for one of the best sunset spots on the island !
