Hi Cheryl, I was there last October (last 2 weeks of season), we had a superior room/family suite which was 109, the last room on the main row at right angles to the bar/restaurant, these are the ones with the little arched bridge. The room was nice and modern, kept very clean, with tv and tea making facilities. The other rooms with pools are around the corner, I took a peek in some of the empty ones and they looked comfortable with contemporary furniture etc. The depths of the private pools varies from 0.5m to 1.5m depending on which room you get. Our pool was 0.5 and cold as the sun didn't get to it but this was because it was so late in the season and was not the case with others in different rows.

The food was fine, plenty of choice. The issues we had were with the lack of entertainment as the animation team (2) left as we arrived, the a la carte was closed and the owner took over the hotel for a whole day for his daughter's wedding. Most of this was due to the time of year however, still we had paid for it and expected to get it.

The hotel is actually nearest to Kremasti, which is a lovely little village that is more authentically greek than some of its neighbours. There are lots of bars and clubs about a 10 minute walk and a bowling alley about 5 mins away. You are near enough to Rhodes Town to get a cab and not too far from Faliraki if you really want to party. Have a great time!
