This is a notification to all parents considering booking this hotel: Unfortunately, this hotel is NOT KIDS FRIENDLY, despite their claims. We arrived here three hours ago, and our children have already been reprimanded by four different staff members.
I can still understand the first instance, as our kids were a bit noisy and running in an empty restaurant. However, the second instance was from the animation staff, who made an announcement over the speaker asking our kids to be quiet (there are five children with 3 adults, mind you). Then, we were asked to keep quiet again at the empty reception.
We have been on multiple holidays together, but this is the one I am now dreading. We hope to change our situation soon. This hotel is more suited for adults, not families. It feels like false advertising, and I wish we had known this before booking. We work hard to take our kids on holiday, only to be told they must walk on eggshells.
I am genuinely disappointed just a few hours into our stay. What a shame!

We have been coming here for 27 years, this time with three generations for 1-3 weeks. The value for money is unbeatable.
The rooms are perfectly fine and clean, with a wonderful view.
There is a lovely atmosphere (and lounge music) by the pool.
The beach is indeed natural (as described in the brochure) with many stones/rocks. In October, there were free sunbeds everywhere.
The dinner buffet is similar daily but always includes a varied and very tasty starter and a "show cooking" main course.
Unfortunately, some guests do not dress appropriately and need to be reminded by the staff, e.g., wearing swimsuits to lunch or wet beachwear to the lobby bar.
The restaurant staff and housekeeping are very friendly.
The animation team is dedicated but seems to be in a routine (at least at the end of the season).
The owner family, Lagas, has been a very warm and attentive host since 1992 and handed over to the younger generation a few years back.
The tiny village of Kardamena is a 20-minutes walk away, alternatively by bus (2 EUR) or Mercedes taxi (8 EUR).
The KGS airport is a 10-minutes drive away, costing €20-35.

Generally a good place. Food is great, although dinner service is awkwardly arranged. They try to create a classy atmosphere by making men wear long trousers in the insane heat, but then have staff running around cleaning tables l, getting in the way etc
Some staff are consistently rude and unhelpful, others are good. The mini bus service to the rooms can be quite slow, often faster to walk up the many steps. Drivers are almost always on their phone whilst driving break neck speed around tight corners and roads of the hotel. The pool is lovely, although the entertainment team are a b little lacklustre compared to other hotels

Lovely hotel. Rooms nice and clean although could do with modernising. Found beds very hard. Food and service lovely. Staff friendly. Nice pool area. Close to beach. Although have to pay for sunbeds. 4euros each. Hotel is on a mountain so very steep. You do have a mini bus to take u too and from rooms. But can be a wait for this. Is a bit of distance walk. From shops and restaurants/bars etc. But taxi and bus service available. Overall nice hotel and would return

Staff always very polite and courteous, the restaurant is very good, we were worried about the food but they list what is in every dish so you know what you are eating before you choose. The rooms are small but clean and comfortable. We had a low room, but they run a free taxi service to take you up the very steep hill to support rooms which would have amazing views. Taxi to kardamaina town is 8euros which is a lot but about the same as UK these days. You can walk it if you are good with walking, it's a nice walk along the coast if you are that way inclined. There is a basic shop although bottled water at hotel so is 3 times the price from town. So it's worth buying water there if you get a taxi.
