4 stars is 2 too many. Although the pool bar is open until 11:00 PM, the table lighting is already collected starting at 10:00 PM, regardless of whether guests are still sitting there. Breakfast was so-so, 14 days of the same sausage, same cheese; the lunch and dinner buffets were okay.
Then the noise from the quad bike races (the hotel can't help that, of course), but it is still disturbing to the night's rest.
The "beach"?? a whole 2 !! Rows of loungers, and those, just like the loungers at the pool, are already reserved by 7:00 AM at the latest; the hotel does nothing about it!!
All in all, we had expected more from this vacation.

Buffet:
Extremely poorly signposted (often with completely wrong translation e.g. “egg laying” or “tested” - it was often unclear what it was). The allergens were also not indicated - there was a folder, but it was impossible to find out which food was meant and also it was stated, for example, that the lactose-free milk (which did not even exist) was dairy-free. Since I can't tolerate dairy products, I couldn't taste anything - on the first day I had a bad stomachache, because apparently everything contained milk hidden in it.
The food was extremely unhealthy - everything was completely oversugared and very meat/carbohydrate-heavy
The only beer available at dinner was watery, the wine sour
Virtually no variation eg at the salad buffet (every evening the exact same things)
The coffee was inedible (instant coffee) - there was no real machine with coffee beans on the whole site, so we always had to go out for coffee.
Rooms:
Very clairvoyant- in the next room someone snored and you had the feeling he was in the room with us because the walls are so thin
The maid left the balcony door open for ventilation every time after cleaning - although the room was on the ground floor and you could have just got in. One day we were on a trip and when we got back our room was still open, so probably all day long. The safe cost 3€ per day by the way! extra - complete usury.
By the way, we had booked a family room, but get a much smaller double room with extra bed. This only became apparent when we had seen the room of acquaintances and compared it with our booking. There was no apology or reparation from Hotel. We could have gotten a new room in the booked class, but would have had to relocate everything ourselves.
The cupboard was missing two sliding doors - and the one door fell out every now and then.
The bathroom had hardly any shelves.
Pools:
The lifeguard at the pool near the Kids Club was completely redundant. Most of the time, he was sitting behind a column at the pizza maker's house with his back to the pool and couldn't even see the pool. He was also busy with his smartphone the whole time, so probably wouldn't have noticed anything else.
Changing towel should cost €1.50 per towel - regardless of how long you have booked your holiday. If you paid thousands of euros for 2 weeks in this hotel, then it seems really ridiculous and is very annoying.
Gym:
The roof is leaking and in one place it is constantly dripping. There, the floor is already softened and broken - so the problem has existed for some time
The door of the toilet at both the fitness and the spa cannot be locked. At the reception we were told that in Greece the door was left open if it was free and the closed door would be called occupied - but since there is no sign hanging there and that none of the guests can know it leads to unpleasant situations with other guests again and again...
Animation:
The Kids Club is great from the care, but unfortunately almost no one knows about it, so only a few children were there.
The amphitheatre was tiny (6 rows) and the evening program was correspondingly thin...
