the hotel is situated on the main street and those rooms facing the street as well as the ones down both sides do suffer from excess noise at night.take some earplugs.however the rear facing rooms and those in the annex also overlooking the pool are fine. the location depends upon what you want from the holiday.the hotel is as close to the action as anyone would want or easy to escape from as the resort has many facets which are not immediately obvious on first impressions.we liked it but were overlooking the pool area .

this hotel is a small and friendly type with few facilities. it has a very pleasant swimming pool area with a bar a pool table and they do snack meals to order.our room was basic but clean with a mini fridge(30 euros per/week) and air conditioning(60 euros p/w) which was not req in june.the poolbar is also the focus in the evening providing a friendly atmosphere after the evening out and about.

having just read my comments and discovering that the hotel now has a 4 star rating presumingly on what i have said i feel i should say that i think it deserves a higher mark.the location/quietness marks are relative to what each party want from their holiday and the random allocation of the room.we are in our mid 40's and enjoy a mixture of lively and quiet both of which can be found at this resort although quiet reqs a little more effort.

lagana beach like the resort is a jeykl and hyde place.turn right or left from the main street and it is busy in both directions but if you go left towards kalimaki it gets less congested until all other people are left behind.virtual solitude apart from the thin trail of humans walking between the two resorts.the beach is excellent for children just choose how busy or otherwise you require it.
