Issalos Studios

A good quality stay for the price, right in the middle of Golden Beach. The pool kept the kids entertained, and the popular beaches are close by. I’d recommend it to families.

Golden Beach is just a few minutes away on foot, while the hotel itself sits somewhere quiet. Restaurants are no more than a ten-minute walk, and we weren’t bothered by noise from the busier areas. The staff were friendly, smiling, hardworking, and always ready to help us out. We really enjoyed the breakfast. Feta, olives, tomatoes and cucumbers were regulars, while the other dishes changed each day, from sunny-side-up eggs with potatoes to cheese or spinach pie. There were different desserts too, alongside the familiar pancakes and croissants, so breakfast came with pleasant surprises. Our room was spotless, with daily cleaning and fresh towels and sheets. The pool area was lovely, and the water was always clean despite having no chlorine. By the pool there was a tucked-away seating spot with pillows where we could spend the evening without disturbing other guests. We had a wonderful stay.

We loved the garden and pool, which were well looked after, and the mountain view was stunning. The jasmine fence was lovely too. Our hosts were hospitable, and breakfast had a good range of pastries, egg dishes, vegetables, fruit and traditional dairy products. Our triple studio worked well for two adults and two children under four. It was spacious, well equipped and furnished with quality pieces. The place was very clean, and the towels and sheets were changed regularly. I was impressed by the service.

We spent six nights here with the family at the beginning of September, staying in a maisonette. It was close to the beach, though there was no sea view. The room was quite large and clean, with towels changed regularly and the room cleaned. Still, something felt missing: the room was very high, and the indoor ladder seemed too basic. Breakfast was varied and very nice, apart from the juice, which didn’t taste good. The price wasn’t especially cheap, but I managed to negotiate it down a little.
