Nereides

We really enjoyed our stay. The people were lovely, the rooms were clean and nice, and towels were put out every day for the sunbeds or beach. Breakfast each morning had a huge range of choices.

The restaurant kitchen was filthy, and the room was dirty and didn't work properly, especially the flusher. I suspect a lot of the reviews might be from the owners' friends.

The staff were excellent, always friendly and ready to bring whatever we needed. Our room was spacious, clean, comfortable, and looked straight onto the pool. The place was peaceful and very well organized. Breakfast had lots of variety, including homemade jams. The pool is quite large and has a separate section for kids, which made it really enjoyable. It's near the center of Pigadia town and just five minutes from the nearest beach.

The hotel sits at the quiet end of the street. The town beach is around a 5-10 minute walk, depending on which part you want, and the center takes about 15 minutes via the construction site route. Going by road is much longer. There's room to park a rental car out front. The rooms are spacious, attractive, modern, cleaned daily except Monday, and the cleaners do a very good job. Air conditioning and a safe are included. The TV only gets 3-4 channels, though. The pool is small but warm, with sunbeds under a canvas roof that can be moved. Food and pleasant music are served at the buffet in front, which becomes the breakfast room in the morning. There's also a big TV in the garden for the daily news or a match if the room TV doesn't work for you. Noise from buffet guests chatting and laughing could be an issue if you go to bed early, but the doors insulate well when closed. Breakfast is okay if you're not too picky: sometimes they run out of eggs, but more are brought out. White bread goes quickly or may be from the previous day, though there's plenty of fresh brown bread and toast. The two juices aren't natural and taste quite acidic, but water is available for diluting them. The homemade strawberry jam is great.
