Liked: Cleanliness
Location of the hotel was good and it had a pool which was useful on windy days and unusual for the area. The food at breakfast was very repetitive, however it was nice to have fresh yogurt and honey. At dinner, no soft drinks or water were provided which is the first time we’ve ever encountered this on a half board package. If we wanted water, we had to buy a 500 ml bottled water for 1€ which was 25 cents in local stores. The room was a nice and beds were made everyday, although linen and towels could have been changed more often. Not all staff were friendly and made us feel uncomfortable at times.

Great stay in Matala
The room was basic and a little dated, although the bathroom had been upgraded and was very nice. I was disappointed there was no tea/coffee making facilities in the room. Pool and restaurant were both lovely. Breakfast choices were excellent and varied. All in all a great stay.

Pool is good, rooms are clean, it's a bit dated and showing it's age, some repairs are needed, shower tap fell off, airco rattles, bannisters are badly fixed, broken tiles. Some staff are sometimes very rude.

Nice pool, good position. Good breakfast. However, the room is very small and the airconditioning was stinking. All in all good value.
