"The hotel view was lovely and the sound of the waves crashing up from the patio was nice but this place feels more like a one star to me. There was zero wifi even though they claimed there was and the AC stopped working around 1230am. We woke up boiling hot and suffered until we left at 8am. I enjoyed the pool and the location but sadly would not be back."

"We had a wonderful stay in the split level sea view 2 bedroom. The only possible downside was that the hotel is expanding and you can hear construction noise during the day. It didn’t bother us. The pool is really lovely. It looks like next year there will be two pools and a hot tub. I would stay here again. We were a 7 min walk from the grocery stores / bakeries. We were about a 12-15 min walk from the city center of kissamous. The restaurants by the water are lovely especially Tavern 1960. We...

The al carte restaurants were outstanding. We didn't have high expectations for buffet style meals but they were great as well.
