Maria Apartments

The rooms weren't clean but the hidden fees were the straw that broke the camels back - we were only told of these the day before we left. They were for air-conditioning / safe etc... When we went into our room on the final night our safe key was missing and we had to pay 350eur for the guys working in the hotel to open the safe. We know they stole the key themselves also. Terrible experience but the town was pleasant.

While the facilities and the layout of the apartments were nice, unfortunately they did not live up to our expectations. First there was lack of attention on several details, the ones separating an average facility from a good or an excellent one. Cleaning and changing of the beds should take place more often than once every three days, while a standard mop and bucket should be available in every room. Moreover is not convenient for the cleaning lady to show up at 3 or 4 in the afternoon, at least it is not for the guests, while I suppose it may be convenient for the management. The rooms did serve their purpose for our vacation, being situated close to the crowded but excellent beach of Agia Pelagia, but to be honest we were expecting more. The staff do try to accommodate the guest's needs, but it felt there were limits to what they could do. The potential is there, but it is sadly not being realised.

There is a small restaurant in the hotel with very nice and kind host and hostess. Prices are much more reasonable than in the beach properties and in the properties on the main street and food is delicious!
