Facilities
Pool & outdoors
Days centre around two outdoor freshwater pools that wind between the hotel’s low-rise blocks. One has a shallow children’s section, making it easy for families to stay together, while both offer sunbathing terraces with loungers ideal for settling in with a drink. Inflatables are permitted, giving things a fun, informal feel.
When you’re ready to swap pool for sea, it’s a short wander to Laganas’ wide stretch of sand, where the water shelves gently and beach clubs line the shore. For a change of scene, Kalamaki Beach is close by and feels a little calmer, yet still within walking or short taxi distance.
Spa, sports & wellness
Balance beach days with a session in the small but air-conditioned gym, which comes with free weights and cardio kit and is open throughout the main summer season.
Back at the spa, adults (18+) can dip into a simple wellness line-up with sauna time, classic massages and beauty treatments — all bookable locally and ideal after a late night on the strip.
On the practical side, there’s a 24-hour-style reception with concierge-style assistance and luggage storage, plus free Wi‑Fi across the property so you can share those sunset shots in real time. Families benefit from kids’ menus and highchairs in the restaurant, and the overall layout makes it easy to move between pool, bar and room without long walks.

Food & drink
Fuel laidback days with an All Inclusive line-up that keeps food and drinks close to hand. The main buffet restaurant is the hub, with show-cooking stations and a mix of international favourites, Italian dishes and Greek classics for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Kids’ options and highchairs are available, and the dress code leans smart-casual rather than beachwear.
When you’re craving something a little more curated, the à la carte restaurant (seasonal) offers a more intimate dinner service by the pool, mixing Mediterranean flavours with a holiday soundtrack.
The pool bar keeps the rhythm going from late morning until late evening with local alcoholic and soft drinks, plus hot drinks and simple daytime sips that are perfect between dips.
All Inclusive typically includes buffet meals, selected snacks and local drinks at set times; premium brands, à la carte dining and late-night options may cost extra. What All Inclusive typically includes.
