The disappointment started from day one. Firstly, the bus that took us to the hotel could not get to the hotel itself, as the street was full of cars. I had to go with a heavy suitcase to the entrance to the hotel about 200 meters, while the guide did not accompany us, but sent us with passing Russian tourists. The hotel itself looks quite nice and matches its photo, but there was not a single Russian-speaking employee at the reception, I had to speak in broken English and gestures (at the same time, there are quite a lot of Russian tourists in the hotel). The room is quite decent, two rooms with a kitchen and air conditioning. It was immediately disappointing that there was no soap or shampoo in the room, and the wall-mounted soap container was empty, it was filled for us only the next day, when we literally pointed a finger at it to the cleaning lady.
The cleaning was definitely disappointing: towels were changed irregularly (sometimes every day, sometimes every other day, and at the end of our stay only once every three days), the room itself was cleaned very badly (the toilet was cleaned only once and two or three times in 10 days of stay washed the floors), cleaners - a different story: cleaning the room and changing towels began in the afternoon, while the cleaners did not take into account the fact that we were in the room and rested (we just had to get up and leave the room).
The food left the most negative impression: the food was monotonous and, in my opinion, not very tasty, however, we were not hungry. Breakfast: sliced ​ ​ cucumbers, scrambled eggs, fried tomatoes, unsweetened cottage cheese, sausages (tastes just disgusting), bacon, beans in tomato, cereal and bread with jam (the set of products did not change during all 10 days). For lunch and dinner from vegetables, only a salad of the "Greek" type (cucumbers and tomatoes, plus cheese, which was sometimes sour), garnish - potatoes and pasta in various forms, fried eggplant, meat - pork, lamb and overcooked chicken, dessert - muffins, ice cream and jams. In general, the menu is monotonous, from fruits there were only tangerines and twice watermelons, there were no olives until they expressed their claims to the owner. Our child by the end of the holiday ate only pasta, muffins and ice cream.

Entertainment in the hotel at least: once there was karaoke, once "Greek" evening. There is nothing special to see in Gouves itself. After the third day, the child began to ask to go home, only a large number of Russian children and communication saved him.
The attitude towards Russians in the hotel is not very friendly, both from the staff and from the owners of the hotel. Conflict situations before our eyes were resolved not in favor of the Russians.
The beach is 200 m from the hotel, sunbeds are paid (2 euros each), the sand is not too clean. Almost all 10 days of stay at the hotel, the sea was stormy and it was almost impossible to swim. I saved the pool at the hotel, however, when on the 8th day of our stay, the children, diving, found a piece of glass at the bottom of the pool, the desire to swim in it was significantly reduced.
As a result, there was no desire to return to this place a second time.
