Reviews and Ratings
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were quaint and beautifully cleaned, with a direct view of the beach, but they had some issues with an old noisy AC and lack of certain amenities like towel rails or soap holders. Checkout could have been more efficient. On the bright side, the staff were super friendly and always helpful, making it the best place to stay in Jambiani. The location was lovely with stunning views, especially for dining at the Rock Restaurant. The dining experience, while offering local food options, was below standard and could use more variety.
The hotel offers wonderfully quirky and individual rooms with a direct view of the beach, but the room interiors are basic with dusty floors. The service is friendly overall, with some staff being slow and having language barriers. The location is truly magnificent, especially the pool area, providing a Santorini-like vibe. However, the dining experience leaves much to be desired with poor quality and value.
