This is the second year running we have been to this hotel. Brilliant location, great pool (biggest on island) friendly staff. Beach bar serves good food and is not expensive. Can stock up with grub/drink at supermarket just up the road if you wish. Tavernas - good choice and Chinese (The Mandarin) really lovely and worth a visit. Going back again this year. Worth hiring a car - swim with turtles at Kalamaki, visit the small zoo/animal shelter and the emu farm, St. Maura's Church and lots of other places. HOTEL AND RESORT TOTALLY RECOMMENDED.

We went here on a very hot day in July, just expecting to have a look around. Holding the reptiles was great. I used to be scared of snakes, but not any more. The lady who took us around was very knowledgeable and pleasant. Worth a visit.
