I will share my impression, because Before the trip, I found few reviews.
We went with two families with children 11-14 years old and a baby 1.5 years old. We chose a hotel for the price and the indispensable presence of a normal beach
We checked in at night, after 5 stars in different countries, we were shocked by the complete absence of a reception desk (a room with several wicker chairs and a single dim light bulb) and a sleepy "administrator" of a gypsy look in dirty shorts. The pool was discovered in the morning.

We got the room in both the new and the old buildings. The new one for 4 people is spacious with two rooms and a kitchenette. There was some utensils, but we didn't cook. Linen changed every 3 days, cleaning every other day. No one is washing either the bathroom or the balconies. The staff is essentially two people - a woman who serves breakfast in the morning and cleans the rooms and that "gypsy", who is also a handyman and serves dinner. They speak English, not a word in Russian. The owner Alexandrakis constantly grumbles at the "employees".
The lower pool with a dirty bottom and floating leaves and other debris, no one bathes in it.
In the upper pool in the afternoon after two (the Greeks have a siesta), locals come and everyone dives into the pool, takes sunbeds. Passage yard.
The food is modest. The kid is already eating regular food, but he refused to eat blue eggs in the morning. I ate natural yogurt with peaches for a week. The choice is poor, everything is cold. In the evenings, a fixed menu, once at a time is not necessary. The fish was delicious, lamb and fu legs. During the day you can order food at the pool bar, the portions are huge, you can’t eat it alone.
The sea is pleasant, but it is better to walk to the back of the beach. Walk 100 meters, but it is much warmer there. The Greeks do not hesitate to take a piece of paper stuck to the urn. The beach is clean. 2 sun loungers with an umbrella in the part closer to the river cost 5 euros for the whole day, in the far warm part 7 euros.
We did not take excursions, with a baby it is not realistic. But they rented a minivan car, and they themselves rode both to the cave of Zeus and to the Libyan Sea. Savings at times and looked great.
Now the most annoying. On Saturday from lunch they began to arrange tables instead of sunbeds by the pool and dress up in every possible way. It turned out that the hotel (with a stretch it can be called that) was rented for a celebration in honor of the boy's baptism. They brought a frying machine for sheep and grills for vegetables. We went for a walk to Agios Nikolaus, but the celebration lasted until one in the morning, and then, until three in the morning, something was being loaded under our windows, thundering and yelling. The music was like on Europe + Gangnamstyle, etc. to the fullest.

On Sunday, almost in the morning, crowds of young people came straight, occupied all the sunbeds by the pool. The pool is teeming with locals. In the hotel bar, just below the pool, music blared into the night. This is such a local party, a bunch of cigarette butts, empty glasses, spilled drinks. The yard is crammed with minimotics on both sides, I counted those that caught my eye 50 pieces. And they all act as if the hotel guests do not exist at all. Glamorous boys, tattooed girls twitch in the morning to the music, smoke and drink. I like purple what they do, but not in a family hotel.
So on Sunday you have to run away from the hotel!
Having driven along the coast, we realized that a good beach near the hotel is a rarity. And that such a service is a common thing for Greece. But the "party" of the locals on weekdays and especially on weekends turned out to be tense and annoying.
