"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."

10/10 Excellent
"Cannot fault the hotel, staff or facilities. We have previously been to Aquasis in Turkey and this is relatively the same but on a smaller scale. Pools were great, food was excellent with plenty of choice, and the drinks menu was substantial and the resort was of a high standard. Obviously not a 5 star resort but close enough and right on the beach. We had no issues all week, we did have a smell in the room on the first day but this turned out to the room not being in use for a few days and the common Greece drains smell ssues you see everywhere, but once in use it went away and was no issue afterwards. We stayed in a family suite, side sea view and can honestly say it was probably one of the best rooms with a fantastic view of the sea and turkey/ other Greek Islands, with the bonus of being around the main pool but at the deeper end so no kids noise! 3 adults and one teenager, you really could ask for a better holiday for the price. Excellent"
