We were there for two days - June 9 and 10, before the tour "Classic Greece"
Overall impression - 3 stars corresponds. They lived on the second floor. The elevator is specific (there are no internal shutters, the habit of leaning on the doors must be forgotten immediately and unconditionally). No bad smell. The room is double + 1 (child), the third bed makes the room a little cramped, but in general, there is enough space (later there were rooms and more cramped) The shower is really without a tray, but it didn’t bother (in southern countries it is a normal phenomenon ). Shampoo, soap - in stock. Faucets, handles - clean and shiny. The room was cleaned daily. The view from the balcony is of the warehouse (external) of the kitchen and the sea, but if you sit in an armchair on the balcony, only the sea remains. There was no bad smell from the warehouse. There are two chairs on the balcony + a table, in the evenings you can sit and admire the sea and drink wine. It was noisy one evening - they were having a Greek evening in a nearby tavern (or something like that) - but they died down by midnight. The air conditioner did not work (in general, for the entire time of our stay in Greece, the air conditioner worked only in one hotel out of five - out of season).
We had breakfast + dinner. The food is really very similar. But I can’t call it tasteless - everything I took was edible. Even the child didn't turn up his nose. although in food it is quite picky for me). Although the choice is not rich, you can choose something. For example, for breakfast - either muesli or an omelet with sausages (from the main one). There were practically no fruits. What is said to be orange/lemon juice for breakfast is a heavily watered down thing (but then again, that was pretty much everywhere we stayed on this trip). You can drink. Coffee - n fountain (if anyone has been to Korea - they serve the same in hotels : ) ). Soluble and not strong. Who doesn't like it - drink tea.

The statement that frightened us that the beach is nearby, but you need to cross the road (found in one of the descriptions, on other sites, which is why I spent most of my time relaxing in another hotel) is nonsense. No, there really is a road, but one and a half cars per hour pass along this road. All in all, don't let that scare you. The beach is right behind the road, the entrance to the water is good, the sunbeds are free (by the way, there are both fabric and foam padding - soft). Sunbeds and umbrellas are free. The only beach that had a cabana.
The village is small, there is nowhere to go (one long street along the sea is the same road in front of the hotel, the hotel is in the middle of this street, however, we did not go deep into the village). But happenings happen. In general, if you are looking for entertainment, then it can become boring here in more than a couple of days, but with a child under five years old, who should be put to bed on time in the evening, that’s it. My nine-year-old would already be bored - there is nowhere to take a walk, we did not find playgrounds.
You can have lunch in the village - closer to the outskirts (and away from the calving) we found a couple of taverns. These were our cheapest dinners in Greece - for three ~15 euros - and full : ). Closer to the hotel - more expensive. The girl from Vilar Tours (Maria) came as promised - every day, in the morning and in the evening for two or three hours. So all issues with her could be resolved. I won't say anything about the pool - I don't even know where it is. When someone asked Maria about the pool, she replied that it is here, but "the sea is much better. " So I didn't look for it.
In general, who is looking for what. We also heard negative feedback from our fellow travelers on the tour. But everywhere there are pros and cons. We rather liked it.
