TUI advertises this hotel as ‘small and friendly’. It is certainly small, which has the benefit of being fairly quiet. It is not, however, in a ‘quiet, rural location’, as described by TUI: it is one of a long tourist ***** of hotels, tavernas, car-hire shops and other shops. TUI indicates that it offers air-conditioning, safety deposit boxes and fridges. It does, but at the extra cost per week of 50 €, 15€ and 20€ respectively. Arriving to discover these prices for what we usually take for granted as included is disappointing; to avoid this, it would be better to manage expectations. We were influenced by previous reviews in choosing this hotel, many of which commented on the family-run a**osphere and friendliness of staff. We met George, the manager, on our arrival, but after this only saw him once: reception was mostly unmanned. The two ladies who prepare breakfast and clean rooms were friendly, but had limited English. Rooms and communal areas were very clean. Beds were comfortable. Rooms and balconies in the main building vary in size. We had one of the smallest, but it was acceptable. There is a set of steps up to the hotel and no lift in the hotel, so it does not seem suitable for those with mobility issues. The amount we paid was based on a last minute deal and seemed reasonable value for money; we would not have wanted to pay any more.
