Golden Sun

Golden Sun was great for us as a family with a small child, and we're definitely coming back. It's a family business, and the people were lovely and helped with anything we asked, without any hassle. The place is quiet for sleeping, yet just 2-3 minutes on foot from the busy part of Tigaki, the bars and the beach. Our room was nice and clean, with air conditioning. The food was amazing, from burgers, pancakes and steaks to lovely Greek coffee. There's a big shaded playground for kids, a children's pool with a water slide, a pool for adults and a bar. The pools were clean and very well maintained. You're amazing people, keep going!

The price is very reasonable and the location ideal, so I'd recommend Golden Sun. The pool area was excellent, and the staff were lovely. I arrived during the night and was able to check in that morning. When the toilet stopped flushing, they fixed it within minutes. The rooms are pretty outdated and a bit run down, but clean enough despite a few spiders, and mine had everything I needed. The bathroom worked fine, although the shower was a little small. You get what you pay for.

A lovely spot to unwind, quiet but close to the center and beach. Our room looked out over the salt lake and sea, which was great. The hosts were very friendly and helpful, and the pool with its snack bar was nice.

The location is peaceful and quiet, with a parking lot on the premises, so parking isn't a concern. It's a little away from the beach and the main Tigaki street, which is usually busy with noisy bars, cafeterias and taverns. The front desk lady is friendly and greets guests with a smile. The hotel is old and has never been refurbished. The room fridge was unplugged when we arrived and took ages to cool properly. Furniture looks like it's from the 80s and should be replaced as soon as possible. The shower curtain doesn't stop water from running onto the bathroom floor. Amenities are very basic: the kitchen had one pot, one teapot and mismatched plates, while some cutlery was rusty or not clean. There was nothing to wash dishes with, so we had to ask staff for a sponge and dish soap. We didn't use the pool because it was crowded all the time. Air conditioning costs extra and was really noisy.
