Chryssi Akti & Paradise Beach

The location is handy for restaurants and shops, there's free parking in front, and the staff were kind and helpful. Towels were changed every two days, which was good, but noise was a huge problem. The walls and doors are so thin that I heard people walking and talking all the time, inside and outside the room, and couldn't sleep properly. The rooms don't look like the photos. The pool didn't seem clean to me, so I didn't use it. The one good thing was the sea view, since the hotel is right by the sea.

We were there at the beginning of August, and the temperature stayed really pleasant at night, so I never needed the included AC. The room also had a mini fridge, a nice surprise. Reception is open 24 hours, and you can leave your key there when heading out on a tour. Breakfast runs from 8-10, and it was tasty and freshly made, though the instant coffee was my one complaint. The staff were very friendly, the rooms were nice for the price, and the sea view was amazing. You're right by the water, with a private area where you can swim. There's a pool with lots of sunbeds, so no need to get up early to claim one. Restaurants and small supermarkets are close by, and the bus stop is a five-minute walk away. The hotel is a great fit if you want both sea views and a beach nearby, in a lively little town that isn't too crowded. Light sleepers should bring earplugs, though. With tiled floors, you can hear the upstairs neighbour moving chairs.

The view is the best, and the service is so friendly. There's direct access from the hotel to the beach, yes, really! You can also use the private pool and a small beach.

Avoid this place. The rooms were old, dirty, and damaged, and the towels were only changed once during our week. We had booked breakfast included, but when we arrived they said breakfast wasn't included. Not even one star.
