We asked for first floor but got ground, maybe because we booked last minute or we should have asked for top floor as those rooms had patio doors onto the balcony and maybe a view, whereas we had a door and a smallish window which meant it was dark and dingy in the room especially when it rained.
The room doesnt have a sofa so for comfort you have to sit on the bed if it is too wet to get outside for entertainment.
The bed I found really hard and uncomfortable and the pillows like cement which meant I didnt sleep very well and was awake with hip pain as the hard bed aggravated it.
Other than that you get used to what youve got and fortunately we had some sunny days on the local beach which was fairly quiet.
There is good Karaoke bar on Fridays which was a laugh as I have never been there before.
I would recommend the Grill House on the square in Argostoli, the sort of place I wouldnt normally go to but found at 12mn on our first night of trying to find our way around.
The food was good everywhere although someone told us to avoid Butlers House, someone here has given it good reviews, we made the mistake of going to Zorbas, the food was tasteless,for both of us and the house wine which was good every other place, like paint stripper, so probably avoid.
We found all the people who worked in shops, bars, restuarants very nice and friendly.

We found the apartments to be very clean and the kitchen facilities were satisfactory. The beds are two singles pushed together however this was still quite comfortable.
We stayed in a room on the second floor which had a balcony. If you have a room on the ground floor you get a terrace patio area.
We had a glimpse of the sea although the olive trees do obstruct most of the views which is a shame. The view from the pool however is breathtaking.
This brings me onto the poolside bar. It offers a wide selection of both alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks if a little pricey as well as snacks. My only gripe is that they only offer these snacks until 2pm!
The pool is clean and not too cold either, plenty of sunbeds spread around the area.
It does not have a reception area or any presence of supervising staff, so if you did have a query or problem, you would have to take it up with your rep.
All in all, it does deserve its 3 stars and the complex is less than 10 years old.
If the owners read this: please install hooks for the shower heads!! It was tricky trying to clean as well as hold the showerhead at the same time!

The room was great, very impressed, especially the bathroom. Very often Greek apartment rooms have a shower but no curtain or door. This did and you could have a shower without soaking the place.
As stated in the other reviews it is situated on a hill. The road is concrete and a bit dusty and can be slippery in places under foot. Saying this it was a great walk to build up an appetite for dinner and walking it off after. The main strip is about a 10-minute walk away. This is not a walk for anyone with walking difficulties.

The strip offers fantastic food with each offering its own unique take on food at very good prices. Service was always excellent. Just bear in mind that the Greek take their time and it is very relaxed, there is never a rush so be prepared for a delay for the bill etc. This just adds to the relaxed nature of the place.
The beach is located a short walk from the main strip making it about a 20 minute walk in total. Located along towards the rocks was a great place for snorkelling with hundreds of fish to see.
We decided not to spend a great deal of time on the beach except the evening snorkel but decided to explore the resort on foot.
A short walk around the road that heads towards the capital (costal route) are the most stunning hidden coves with crystal clear water.
We decided to walk this way to the capital Argostoli via the lighthouse. This is about a 10k walk so be warned.
The capital is fantastic. A number of times we flagged a taxi down on the strip and went to the Square. A short walk is the harbour, which is amazing. A footbridge joins the harbour to the other side and is well worth the walk. About a 10 Euro return taxi fare.
The Square itself is great for evening meals.
The best thing I can say about this resort is there were no pushers, no illegal
