We stayed at this hotel with 3 adults on the All Inclusive program.
HOTEL. We arrived at the hotel around 5 am. The first impression about the lobby of this hotel was negative: stuffy (due to Covid, everything must be ventilated and air conditioners are not turned on), mosquitoes, drunken yelling and singing companies of guests who had not yet gone to bed at that time. Despite the fact that we were checked in at 2:30 pm, we were fed breakfast and allowed to use the pool. There is a luggage storage room - 2 euros. The hotel is a complex of 2-3-storey buildings, in which there are rooms of different levels. The hotel area is small. There is almost no greenery. Of the 5 pools declared, only one can be called a pool, and even then, it is old, with peeling dirty tiles. Mold on the walls of the pool. The sun loungers around this pool are occupied by guests from the night. The rest of the hotel's pools are more like "puddles" for 5 people. The photo of the pools on Booking is not true.
ROOM. Initially, we were settled in an absolutely terrible room: in the farthest building in the basement without a balcony with a small window under the ceiling. Room footage Standard, paid by us, did not correspond to the declared Standard on Booking. com. The beds were almost right next to each other, everything was old and dirty. In terms of level, this room, in our opinion, was lower than the economy level. We refused to check in and asked the reception for another room. We were offered a much better housing option in the building across the street from the lobby. This room had 2 rooms, everything was cleaner and more modern, new furniture, good comfortable beds. Air conditioning was in one of the rooms. Worked great. There was no balcony in the room, but there was access to the patio where you could dry things. By the way, the courtyard can be easily accessed from the main street. They dried towels and were very afraid that at one point they would disappear. The bathroom was large but the shower itself was a tray and curtain. The room was cleaned regularly. Replacement of towels as well. No complaints.

NUTRITION. We liked the food. The food was varied, the choice of dishes is large. There were always several types of meat, fish, grilled dishes, a large selection of vegetables. We especially liked the Greek cheeses. From fruits they gave melon, watermelon, oranges. Peaches, grapes, plums were not given, although, it seems, it was the season. The staff in the dining room tries hard, the waiters are very kind. In the pool bar, as well as in the bars of the a la carte restaurants Porto Greco and King Scorpio for all-inclusive vacationers, it was possible to order a range of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks - local production of satisfactory quality. Also in the bar on the lobby gave ice cream and snacks. It is possible to exchange one dinner at the hotel for dinner at one of the above restaurants. We recommend going to the Italian restaurant King Scorpio. There is really a restaurant level and very tasty. Our friends were in the Greek cuisine restaurant Porto Greco, they did not like it.
BEACH. The hotel does not have its own beach. There are many beaches around, all of them are municipal. You can swim, sunbathe on a towel everywhere absolutely freely. You have to pay for sunbeds and an umbrella. The price for 2 sunbeds and an umbrella is 10 euros. But the beach for such a price will be rocky with an inconvenient entry into the sea. We went to the Scorpio beach restaurant next to the hotel. Sunbeds there for 10 euros for 1 piece + umbrella + towel + bottle of water. 2 sun beds respectively will cost 20 euros. There are tents with 2 sunbeds for 50 euros. The beach is small, with a bulky sandy bottom, located in a beautiful bay. The sea is amazing, warm, crystal clear, a lot of small fish. I didn't want to get out of the water. This is perhaps the main advantage of this place. Most of the sunbeds on this beach were booked in advance by the restaurant, so there was always a fear that we would not get a sunbed. In addition, if you are absent from the beach for more than an hour, your paid sunbed may be sold to other people. It is impossible to normally go to dinner and to the room, to wait out the very heat. It was unnerving, but there seems to be no one to complain to. Employees referred to the high season and the large number of sunbathers. Despite the incident with the check-in, we liked the rest, especially when you read reviews of other hotels. A huge advantage of Porto Greco is its location, everything is within walking distance: the beach (20 m from the hotel), the dining room, the lobby with a cafe, the pools. Also, having risen a little higher along the street, you go out onto the main street with many souvenir shops and shops. And if you just walk along the embankment, you will plunge into the atmosphere of music, fun, all kinds of smells from a large number of eateries, cafes and restaurants.
This hotel is absolutely not suitable for families with children and lovers of a quiet holiday. The hotel has a large number of young people from Germany and the Netherlands. These drunken youth yell, sing, laugh, slam doors, swim in the pool at night, which cause a lot of inconvenience to those living next to them. It lasts until the morning. The hotel management does nothing about it. There is no animation in the hotel.
