I had a lovely experience at the hotel. The staff were incredibly kind and attentive, making me feel welcome throughout my stay. The buffet offered a delicious variety, particularly the fresh fruits and Greek dishes. However, the rooms, while spacious, showed some signs of aging. The pool facilities were fantastic for families, especially with the children's areas, but I did notice a few operational hiccups that could use improvement.
