Overall, we had a great stay - our room was super spacious, clean, comfortable, and well-appointed with a balcony overlooking the ocean. The hotel looks either brand new or newly renovated, and it was reasonably tasteful as far as the room decor. The only thing that is docking the rating from 5 stars to 4 stars is the overwhelming stench of cigarette smoke that hits you immediately when you walk into the hotel. Truly, it was overpowering and incredibly off-putting such that I had to ask the owner if we would be staying in a non-smoking room or not--he said yes, but I've never had to do that before in any of the other places we stayed in during our time in Greece, despite how prevalent smoking indoors otherwise does seem to be in Greece. Thankfully, there wasn't a discernible stench of smoking in our actual room, but even the hallway for our room had a lesser though nonetheless apparent smoke smell in it. We were there just for one night, so we ended up being just fine and comfortable staying in our room and not leaving until check-out, but I would have certainly been even more put-off if I had to stay in the hotel longer and thus being in the hallways and common areas more. Were it not for the smoking smell, we would have given 5 stars without hesitation.
