The hotel is situated in a stunning gulf with breathtaking views of Poseidon's Temple, offering a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. While the rooms were clean, they had some outdated furniture and the TV seemed to be quite old. The staff was friendly and attentive, although the service lacked a bit of flexibility. The location is absolutely wonderful, especially for enjoying the beach at sunrise and sunset, but be cautious with billing as overcharging can happen. Overall, it was a good experience with some room for improvement.
