For 3 * everything is EXCELLENT!!!
We rested from 07/27 to 08/06/2021. Very polite and helpful staff, communicates in English and Russian!! ! The hotel is small (2 floors with balconies) and very cozy and well-groomed! ! THERE IS EVEN A MINI ELEVATOR FOR 2 PERSONS AND A SUITCASE : ))) Attention!! ! according to their Greek laws, you need to pay a tourist tax for 3 * hotels 1.5 euros per day - WHAT YOU WILL BE OFFERED TO PAY ON ARRIVAL IMMEDIATELY AT THE RECEPTION!!!
Who wants to see the sea in the distance from the balcony, then ask for rooms from the reception side, but keep in mind from the side of the hotel entrance (reception) the sun rises in the morning and bakes until 13:00 and the track with cars is visible there. We immediately got a room on the opposite side (number 202, they call it the 1st floor, but in fact it is the 2nd floor) and we did not regret it - silence in the morning, forest, no sun in the morning, the sun turns on this side from 15:00. The air conditioner worked well and in the evening the room cooled well and + there is a thick curtain with wooden shutters to keep the room from heating up!!!

Everything in the room is modest, but everything is clean, there is a TV, a hairdryer, air conditioning, a small refrigerator, they regularly cleaned and took out the garbage, in 10 days we changed linen (starched and snow-white) and towels 4 times !!!
Yes, the plumbing is not the first freshness, but everything worked, it didn’t stink, it didn’t leak and it was cleaned on time, they constantly added toilet paper to us... as for a 3 * hotel, then everything is fine !! ! we had one sanitary technical issue - the next day they immediately eliminated it !!!
There is a minus - if you eat as a couple, then be prepared that not all rooms have a large double bed, because you may just get 2 beds moved together - FOR US IT WAS A SURPRISE, BUT THEN I DECIDED EVERYTHING....they asked for an additional 2 large towels for the joint and everything is OK !!!
A full breakfast with drinks (coffee in the car with boiling water, you have to ask for tea - they will take out several types of bags, there is juice). There is something to choose from: ham, cheese, bread, butter, milk, two types of cereal, 4 jams and chocolate nutella, boiled eggs, bread, thick unsalted yogurt, rice porridge with milk. When the products on the table run out, they immediately take out the supplement !! ! You won't die of hunger!
For dinner, there is more choice of dishes and they changed more often, but there are no drinks (you can order them separately) !! ! the main dishes are served to you: chicken legs, cutlets, stewed peppers or asparagus, vermicelli, mashed potatoes, beans in tomato, interesting little cabbage rolls... etc. And then you take your own soup, 3 types of salads from fresh vegetables and herbs, oil for watering salads, bread, croutons for soup or salad..... IN GENERAL YOU CAN BURST!!!
You have to buy drinking water for yourself: either at the reception, or in the only nearest shop - 6 bottles of 1.5 liters each. costs up to 2 Euro - depending on which water you choose. For two of us for 10 days there are 12 bottles of 1.5 liters each. Enough with the head, spent up to 4 Euros in total!!!

In their cafe-canteen, you can separately order lunches and wine, other drinks, ice cream, etc. True, we bought up in the only shop on the opposite side of the road, where there were fruits and wine and other products....prices are tolerable : large peaches, nictarine and large plums from 2.3 to 2.5 Euro, there are melons somewhere in the same price, bananas, tomatoes, peppers, apricots, etc. . .
It turned out that you can go to this shop from above, i. e. the gate is open from above, where some of the rooms go to the other side of the forest, and there is an asphalt path past the local dachas and you seem to see the track of cars below from the top of the mountain, and then along the makeshift steps (they have such steps everywhere) go down to the highway like once in front of the store and THERE THE TRAIL IS DIRECT WITHOUT SHARP TURNS, THEREFORE, IT IS EASIER TO CROSS THE ROAD to the store!!!
BEACH: between the hotel and the sea there is a two-lane road and it is not straight, but winding with turns, so you need to be very careful when crossing it. THERE IS NO ZEBRA AND THERE IS NO PEDESTRIAN CROSSING!! ! But there is an attached ladder, where it is most convenient to cross the road from the hotel!!!
We crossed the track and go a little straight to the left, then turn right along the fence and go down through the coniferous forest, there will again be homemade steps made of wood and stones. . .
As for our understanding, this is a wild beach - sandy, without sun loungers and umbrellas, BUT DESERTED, CLEAN, THE WATER IS CLEAR, THERE IS NO DIRTY, THE BOTTOM IS FLAT IN THE WATER AND ACTUALLY ONE ROUGH (gradually depth, somewhere up to the neck), you want deeper then swim deeper. There is an entrance with stones further on the right side and there may be sea urchins - BEWARE!! ! And since they sailed over these stones, the sand is not deep... PARADISE WATER - everything is transparent !!!
Of course, the weather is Peklo after 10:00, so if you want, you can rent a BIG UMBRELLA for a day at the reception for 1 euro!!!
In the evening, an umbrella is not needed on the beach - after 17:00 a good shadow appears from the trees.

On both sides there are beaches with umbrellas and sun loungers from other hotels - entrance fee! On one of these beaches there are water entertainments: water skiing, riding on double buns and like on babannas...

In the evening there is nowhere to walk and there are no lights on the beaches...
But for 5-6 euros by taxi you can get to local nightclubs (it's 2-3 sq. m from the hotel along the highway) - WE HAVE NOT BEEN, I WILL NOT SAY ANYTHING HOW THERE...
But we went on excursions to Thessaloniki and Meteora (monasteries on the tops of rocks) - a lot of impressions !! ! Keep in mind that in the city you need to have a copy of your hotel voucher and their Greek questionnaire with a QR code, which you filled out or the tour operators filled out for you on the GREECE website before pouring out and a copy of which you must have. If in the city you go into a closed room like a cafe, etc. , you may be asked to show this QUESTIONNAIRE with a QR code!
We were asked in a cafe to show...
Internet is not always good - but early in the morning or later in the evening you can wedge yourself at the reception or in the canteen, or near the pool !! ! There is no internet in the rooms! And there was also a problem with the TV signal - the Olympics were never watched to the end !!!
It was also very lucky that we were in that part of Greece where there is no big crowd of people and there were no problems with CARONOVIRUS and FIRES did not touch our peninsula!! ! Although the Greek government sent a voice message to all tourists in the hotel - DO NOT GO FOR A WALK IN THE FOREST because of the danger of FIRES!! ! Everyone rushed to the reception. . . they were overwhelmed : )))). . . but GLORY GOD our island was not touched by this trouble and there were no fires in the area of ​ ​ Thessaloniki!!!
REST SUCCESSFUL!! ! THANKS TO THE HOTEL STAFF!!!
WITH PLEASURE WOULD LIKE TO RETURN HERE AGAIN!! !
