The whole staff was very nice. The hotel is close to the city and the airport. There is a direct connection to the beach and a supermarket very close by. The owner was very nice to us and helped us a lot

While the staff were very friendly the hotel was very limited insofar as amenities. The room was not well prepared with bathroom plumbing requiring emergency repair to render it safe. Even with that repair it was a very ‘rustic’ room with little comfort. The most difficult aspect of the hotel was the 90 stairs that had to be climbed to access the room! This was not for the faint of heart and should be highlighted in the description.

The staff at Aphea Village were excellent. Nothing was to much for them to do for us. From reception to bar staff - they were amazing. I would definitely recommend as the view from the pool and the rooms were breath taking. The food from Bizous bar and variety of drinks available were amazing. We really enjoyed our stay with you. Thanks 😃

The appartment was quite OK, but the bathroom really needs renovation. The shower space very small and the curtain doesn't help - the water always goes on the floor.
However, we had a nice balcony with a nice view to the sea and the swimming pool.

J ai apprecié mon sejour dans cet hotel dans son ensemble (chambre 22). Cependant, le point negatif a été l eau chaude (1 seule fois en 3 jours). Et je n aurai pas aimé etre dans la chambre 21 : trop au passage de la piscine, de la montée d escalier de l entrée principale.

Hotellet är okej.
Fint poolområde med öppetider 10:00 - 18:00 och fantastisk personal i baren och väldigt god mat på restaurangen.
Hotellet i sig behöver uppdateras i ytskikt och inventarier, men har man detta i åtanke när man bokar så är det i övrigt inga problem.
Hotellet ligger även på en hög kulle med en fantastisk utsikt, men det är många steg för att ta sig upp från stranden och till sitt rum. Rekommenderas inte för äldre med svårigheter att gå samt barn i barnvagn.
I helhet är det en prisvärd vistelse om man är beredd på lite lägre standard på inventarierna med flera fina restauranger i närheten samt ca 700m till jättefin och folktom strand.

Skønt hotel og pool område
Meget flot hotel, især det ydre, flot pool område med masser af plads. Enkelt indretning på værelserne, meget typisk græsk stil. Havde det du skulle bruge. Mange trappe som give god motion men hårdt efter 87 trin op. Det var værelse med havudsigt. Den flotteste udsigt. Det venligste personale👍👍👍. Morgenmad, frokost og aftensmad kunne bestilles. Gode priser. Stille og hyggelig hotel.

Fantastisk udsigt. Meget serviceminded familie ved pool, bar og restaurant. Rengøring på værelse var ikke optimalt, men alt omkring poolen var i top. Vi savnede varmt vand i køkken og lidt bedre køkkenfaciliteter. Hotellet er meget slidt

Hemos estado alojados durante una semana y la verdad es que ha sido una grata experiencia.
Los apartamentos están localizados arquitectónicamente en vertical, como en bancales o estratos. Las vistas son preciosas y ves el amanecer desde la terraza. Eso sí, no estan adaptados para carritos o sillas de ruedas y hay algunas escaleras.
El personal tanto de recepción como de limpieza es muy amable.
Mención especial a Kostas (Κώστας), el dueño del bar-restaurant-piscina. Lástima no poder comunicarnos mejor por mi falta de inglés porque creo que hubiéramos mantenido conversaciones muy interesantes.
El Hotel es familiar, sin grandes lujos pero con lo necesario para pasar un estancia muy agradable. Tiene una ubicación perfecta para visitar la mitad oeste de esa isla increíblente bonita.
Muchas gracias por todo.

Veldig god service på hotellet og de ansatte var veldig hyggelig. Rommene derimot var ikke så fine. Spesielt badet var veldig utdatert og skittent. I tillegg så var det veldig lytt imellom veggene til naboene.

Ok til prisen
Ok lejlighed. Receptionen var ikke altid bemandet tiltrods for at de skriver det.
Rengøring var slet ikke optimal og mangelfuld.
Der mest positive og fantastiske var ægteparret som ejer café/ spisestedet. Rigtig god mad og exceptionel god service
