We stayed at the Superior Room Sea View and the view was stunning. The room itself had all the facilities needed for our short stay. The bed mattress was very comfortable and the town was also within walking distance. Overall we were very pleased with the hotel room.

Staff were friendly and helpful. Unfortunately everything was geared up for the German market i.e. Information book, tv instructions and tv channels and using the safe. The rooms were clean and comfortable with plenty of room. Location could have been better.

COUPLES BREAK

Reviewed By ann-mullingar

Hi all, we had an excellent 10 days in a one bed room suite. This is a family run business, they also own and run the beach bar across the road. Complementary beach beds and beach towels. All of the family members made us feel very welcome. Excellent hosts, very much a sense that we were staying in their own home with out being any way over bearing, ensured we were not in need of anything. The suites were perfect and it is a lovely quite location. The bar and beach less than 100m from the suites. The bar also serves food made fresh for you. Sitting on the bean bags with one of their excellently made cocktail drinks as the sun goes down over Plakais bay is some thing special. Recommended (thumbs up) :)

WARNING DO NOT BOOK! Holiday from hell!

Reviewed By 570hayleyj

Under no circumstances book this hotel you will not only be disappointed but left traumatised and frustrated. The only positive part about this hotel is it's location as it is stunning views but that is it! Everything that is advertised with all inclusive does not exist. This place is a massive health and safety problem and dangerous for many reasons. The food is vile and not worthy for a dog. ANIMAL FAECES EVERYWHERE!!! DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY IT IS A COMPLETE SCAM WND FALSE ADVERTISEMENT!! No entertainment, no music, no children activites. 4 alcoholic options most drinks you still have to pay for minimum €4. No snacks other than toast. No spa as its broken. Fly infested food. Staff are racist and rude. Still have to pay for beds. No childrens pool. Not able to change up money as advertised. No wifi in the rooms or signal. €3 charge everyday you stay. AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE.

We stayed at the Sea View Luxury Apartments and we used the pool on several occasions and we must say, that the service was outstanding! The waiters and waitresses were all very attentive - especially Vana, who also is a great dancer and Alessandro, who gave great tips for vegan options. Thanks for your kindness and a great experience!

A good place that has gone bad, VERY VERY BAD!

Reviewed By tomersi

First of all, NEVER pay until you see, and check out the room We have stayed in this place several times in the last few years Unfortunately, the place has turned from one of the best places that were in the area, to a very bad place. We stayed at the place for almost a month. The maintenance of the place, is poor, broken chairs, torn sun beds, inactive sun umbrellas, the place is not as clean as it used to be. Our apartment had a musty smell that did not go away, the closet in the shower crumbled (probably from moisture) there was no strong water flow and there was almost no hot water in the morning. The kitchen did not have any kitchen utensils and we had to ask for basic things and buy some. The refrigerator door got stuck in the floor and we had to put a stone under the refrigerator to balance it. There was an inactive hot tub on the balcony, which took up half a balcony space and we received a different answer from each hotel representative regarding its operation. The hosts have their own pace, slow and not serviceable. The poor excuse for all our questions and requests was "Corona" which did not really work out with the problems we presented ... The place does not appear to have a manager present. There are so many good places in Plakias, it's a waste of time, money and aggravation. Stay Away.

Elena Rooms

Lovely place, excellent value, good base for exploring the south of the island.

Reviewed By RJMLynch

My friend and I booked Elena Rooms at the last minute, our flight having been put back two days at short notice. On arrival we were given a friendly welcome and shown our room, which was very clean, stocked with essentials to make hot drinks, fridge, quite a good kitchenette with a three-spot hob (and a mini oven, I think? Didn't use it), a TV which we also didn't use, but both there there if you want them, wifi, and had a lovely terrace, bright, but shaded by some well-kept shrubs. It was a little small, compared to the apartment we'd just vacated, but perfectly good for a holiday, and was exactly as described, i.e. 'room' and not 'apartment'. There is a very good, panoramic view of the hills to the rear, though you would need to sit outside to enjoy it. The price was excellent. Initially I'd booked this as an 'emergency' measure but we were both very impressed (and my friend tends to say what she thinks!).
