Arrived around 10.30pm 2 week October( 1hour 20mins on Tui coach), George the owner took us straight our room after meeting us. Large room , lovely new bathroom, rain shower, bowl basin & vanity. Small kitchenette, as in, a sink & 2 rings together! Unfortunately nowhere to put dishes Fridge underneath them and a double cabinet above.Now this was not a problem for me, as no cooking is involved on holiday. However I do like a cuppa/toast and it was a bit of a juggling act. We ate out on the balcony, just took the toast out and did the buttering etc out there. Supermarket 2mins walk from the pool. The actually room was very spacious,comfortable beds, so could easily have room for a small follow away table, just in case you wanted to prepare something else. Weather was fantastic 27 degrees plus all the days we were there.Great thunder storm one early evening. The actual resort is very small just a main road really, being it was October is was quiet. It did not have enough places for us to eat really. The Hotel food was lovely, but we do like to get out and eat in the evening and then come back to the bar. We did walking into the village a couple of times and eat there, lovely working village great to sit and people watch. The beach is gritty sand/pebbles,sea was warm still to swim, it was ok and there was plenty of water sports going on. There is a large all inclusive resort down one end the " Lindos Princess " and that took up the far end of the beach with its sun beds. Took the local bus to Lindos, which was lovely but still very hot & busy even at that time of the year. It does look lovely at night with the Acropolis lit up. Many of our fellow guests hired cars which I think they found either through George or there are a couple of Hire places In the resort. We just went to chill, and this is an ideal place for that, but also a good base if you want to get out and about. Many guest are returning visitors, many times, the staff are very nice and George will know you by name instantly. The pool bar is the main "hub" and because of size it is very easy to strike up conversations " small & friendly" beautiful gardens/grounds with goats roaming the hills behind ! A lovely taverna down the road Periklis run by a family , like most Greek places good food and lovely wine, In all we think I would go back to the hotel, if we was looking for a quite holiday, just a little under whelming the resort, but if you happy to jump on a bus, boat or hire car perfect...
