Hotel Moonbeam

We had a lovely sea view from the balcony, looking over olive trees. It's a clean, calm, beautiful place, and the room and apartment prices are very reasonable. I'd highly recommend this hotel.

Dimitris is the person who made this stay especially enjoyable. He's incredibly hardworking, kind, modest, and helpful. With goats, sheep, beehives, rabbits, chickens, olive trees, fruit, flowers, and the pool to look after, he seems to be everywhere, tending things and fixing whatever needs attention. The hotel sits among olive trees on a hill, with beautiful views and wonderfully quiet nights, pitch dark with stars. We never needed the air conditioning during our ten nights in mid-August. The pools were clean and carefully maintained every day, and our studio was clean and looked after, with linen and towels changed regularly. There were a few easy-to-fix snags. Our studio was missing a bed when we arrived, but they brought one the same day. There were no glasses, so we asked and got them that day too. One socket had come loose and was repaired the same day. There was a TV but no remote, which turned out to be a hit with the kids because they played more. The road from the main road to the hotel is dusty gravel, not full of potholes, but not nice to walk along to the beach. Breakfast was the biggest drawback: it was quite monotonous each day, though not bad. There are only two people looking after 12 units, and they seem stretched thin. We still had a great time and came away rested. The children were delighted to find a goat, cat, or rooster outside the ground-floor studio in the mornings, and they picked olives, limes, and pomegranates. The place isn't fancy or suited to people who expect lots of activities on holiday, but it was great for nature, rest, and peace.

Dimitri owns the hotel, 1,000 olive trees, and 50 sheep. He's a very good man, professional, polite, and generous. He likes having a beer and chatting with guests, and he's very good at chess. He speaks English and German, plus a little Russian. He's a dedicated liberal and progressive, and he's looking for the woman of his life. I hope to see him married next year.

The host was very nice and did his best to provide good service. Breakfast was filling and very good. It's a quiet place with a beautiful pool and a great view of the sea, and very close to Potos.
