Great family accommodation! We were made to feel very comfortable from the moment we arrived. The pool area is beautiful with great views. The food & cocktails at the bar were very nice.

Lovely little place, very clean, and run by friendly and helpful people. Quiet location, but if you're looking for nightlife then Kavos is short taxi ride away. Beach is not bad, but there are probably better on the island. That said, the sea is clean (some sea grass), and the sandy sea bed shelves gently, so probably good for young families. The only thing I'd change is that I would have liked access to the pool before 9am (even if the restaurant remains closed until that time); although I'm probably in the minority, since there was hardly anyone else by the pool until after 10! It's a good 10 minutes walk to the nearest mini market, and the prices there aren't particularly cheap - but then that might just be Greece these days!

A little gem this place is, quietly tucked in off the main road, not far from.port of leffkimi, clean rooms, comfy beds, bar serving all the meals/cocktails/milkshakes you can have (food is super fresh and beautifully presented), fab pool with lovely beds and few steps off is the beach with views of mainland Greece. Wow. So worth visiting!!

Hospitality-
I can't stress enough how lovely the staff are. So welcoming and friendly. It feels as though they can't do enough for you. My family and I were affectionately known as the pineapple family which we loved because of the amount of pineapple juice we consumed.
Even when the staff were busy, my daughter loved talking with Hara, and she always made time for her.
The other staff member Andreas would organise things for us outside of the complex when we wanted it. Both are just extremely friendly and easily approachable for needs or queries that you might have.
Apartments-
Some people call them very basic and outdated. I honestly don't know what that means when it's just a place to rest your head. They've got a toilet, shower, sink, tv, hob, microwave, beds etc. All your essential needs. Most importantly, they're extremely clean.
Food and drink-
A menu with a combination of traditional Greek food and standard. I'll admit that it doesn't take much to make me happy when foods involved, but the food is unbelievable! Not only tasty, but also decent portions. My compliments to the chef.
With the drinks you will find your standard bottles of soft drinks and alcoholic. I'm not a big drinker, but the cocktails that are served were very nice.
Pool-
Opens at 9am, closes at 8pm for maintenance. Clean, decent size, impossible to drown in (so great for the kids). If you feel 8pm is too early to be closed then there's the private area of the beach just at the bottom of the complex with calm warm water and a few fish that swim around you.
Just to add about the pool, you will most likely have the majority of the pool to yourself anyway. Unless there's a large quantity of children there at that time.
Location-
Hidden away in a quiet area, you would not know it even existed. There are convenience stores in either direction which are about a 10 minute walk. However, if you do walk then do not take young kids with you. The road can be dangerous with cars as there is no pavement.
It all depends what you want on a holiday. For a quiet, affordable getaway with great food and friendly staff, then you've got to choose this place.

It's a nice location with good service and good food. It's just about close enough to Kavos to walk in about half an hour. The pool is beautiful and the closeness to the sea is perfect. Andreas and Hara are very friendly and do a great job. I ate there most days and the food served was always fresh and tasty. The burgers are great and the full English was top notch. The pork chop and Greek sausage served at the Friday BBQ was perfect. A special mention to the iced latte's too, outstanding!
A greater choice of food for children would be an idea. Cereal for instance. Also chicken strips or nuggets for dinner as we have a fussy child and chicken nuggets are often a go to option.
I do have some criticism. Firstly, the air conditioning is far too expensive. We had a 2 bed apartment which would have costed 18 euros per day to cool. Over 2 weeks that's 250 euros. I've never been anywhere that charges extra for air conditioning. Also, when you leave the room, the aircon turns off, as does the power to the room so you have to start all over again every time you get back to your room. (this also makes charging phones etc a pain) Why air conditioning can't be built into the cost of the room?
Next is the pool. At night the pool is lit from within and around the pool area, which is utterly beautiful. Literal paradise. The only issue is; you can't be in the pool after 8pm which seems like a waste considering the night time temperatures are sweltering. It also seems a waste of electricity to light the pool area if it can't be used. I don't know whether this is a government issue that prevents the use of pools after a certain time or just a rule made by the establishment themselves. There is no lifeguard on duty at any time so it can't be that.
Overall I had a nice time here but I won't be looking to go back anytime soon as there seems to be more bang for your buck elsewhere, aircon included.
