when we first drove up to the resort ,our first impressions were of shock, it looked nothing like what we had seen in photos and their website. but as we had just driven for over 3 hours we thought maybe we were just tired and would stay and see what it was like,
The owner Armando and his staff were all very nice and helful, he was concerned that we weren't coming as it was later when we arrived than when we said we were,(that's the only good point about our stay).
We were shown to our 2 beach facing cabanas (oooooh doesn't that sound posh), they were made out of old packing cases, and so were the beds,(the walls had writing on so you knew what they had contained),the bed was a queen size but the mattress that was on it was just a bit bigger than a single, so you had to cuddle up really close together(but you needed to any way as there was no blankets and was really cold at night).
We went for a drink and some lunch. the menu had plenty of choices but as we tried to order several different things kept getting told oh we haven't got that yet, excuse was we get our food fresh every day (so does every other restaurant), when lunch was served the steak was cold, we only got one feta salad instead of two, and that looked like the salad hadn't been washed very well, and the pizza was greasy.(as a chef myself I wasn't impressed)
After lunch we thought we would go lay on the sunbeds on the beach, only to be told sunbeds are not allowed on the beach so we thought ok we will use them outside our huts instead ,but as they only had 5 sun beds and 2 were in use one of us had to lay on the sand, we had to take the cushions off the restaurant chairs to put on the sunbeds as they didn't had mattresses on and some of the wooden slats were missing
By now we were hoping to be relaxed and chilled but funny enough we didn't,
In the evening we had been told there would be live music but as it looked like we were the only guests it didn't happen
We ordered our evening meal by torch light as the lighting was very poor, and it was the same as lunch only certain things available, they had a big blackboard full of different fish dishes, and as a fish lover I thought great, only to be told that every fish I wanted they didn't have(so why bother writing it on the board).i finally settled on king fish., which was raw when I got it, my husband had steak which was cold and so was the potato's and the veg was raw, my parents both ordered pizza and when they got it one was ok one was swimming with grease.
By now we had had enough and told them we were leaving in the morning, they did try to give us a bottle of wine as an apology but I sent it back ,
After a very long cold night we got up early the next morning and left
Not something we would care to do again, it's a pity because we have stayed in other beach huts and had a fantastic time
