Location
The hotel is very clean and Billy loves his gardens with all of the fruit trees. The cleaners come on a Saturday, Monday and Wednesday so take a fan if you want to save 10 euro per night on air con and put the fan into your luggage bag when the cleaner is due. There are safety deposit boxes in every room and its only 20 euro for the fortnight. All of the hotels family were friendly and polite without being over the top. There is a games room for the kids with internet, pool table, air hockey table, arcade game and even a massage chair. The swimming pool in lovely and clean and it is only 1.5 metres at its main depth. There are plenty of sunbeds and rather than umberellas there is a canopy all around the outside sunbeds which is great for the sun as u can pull you bed in and out as you want.
You must do the Greek night at the hotel its only 10 euro per adult and about 7 per child including food. Its a great night and everyone joins in together dancing on tables, around the pool etc. They also hold a weekly Karaoke night if you are into that type of thing.
The location of the hotel is not so good as you do need to walk to the village for a taverna and more shops. Take the easy option leave at 7.30 pm when it isn't as hot take a slow stroll up (fun fair at top) and if you want get a taxi back down its only 5 euro for a taxi. If you dont want to walk up the hotel will get you a taxi but for some reason the taxi drivers charge more this way. You can also get a bus from outside the back of the hotel to all over the island. We went to Falraki early evening (doesnt liven up til about 11pm) and the bus was only 1.40 euro per adult. A taxi back was only 9 euro so not bad going really.
If you come out of the front hotel and turn right walk along the road for about ten mins and cross over you will see a sign saying Golf ? walk down that road and you will come to the beach. The beach is huge and really clean. Plently of sunbeds but not loads of people. There is some sand but all of the sunbeds are on the shingle and there is also alot of shingle in the sea. The sea is nice and warm but I advise you take water shoes or something rather than flip flops and you will have a nice time. There only seems to be one small shop/cafe on this area of the beach so dont go expecting to have a night out down there. Its reasonable priced though. You can also get to the beach by going up into the village and going by mini train down to the beach. Not sure of the price as we never used it.
Be careful of the traffic in the village it can be a little crazy at first. Remember this is a working village and not really a resort. When you walk up to the village there is a strip of pubs to your left take your pick but you must go and see Terry his is the one with the large tv screen. You can sit in here have a drink nip to the Gyros or pizza shop and bring your food back and eat while drinking its no problem. If you want a real meal follow the same road down and around to your left and head for the Four Seasons the food is outstanding and the place is immaculate and very popular. The food is not expenisive either infact it was so reasonable we had to check and make sure they had charged for the drinks!
If this hotel could be picked up and moved a little closer to the village or if even a few tavernas were around it I would go back for sure. All in all we had a lovely relaxing time and met lots of nice people.

Looking at some some reviews they must be quite old. The apartments now have air con, albeit you pay a supplement for it, but worth every penny. It was 40+ some days! Yes, the location of the Georgia is a bit 'out of it'.
The walk to Afandou village would be fine if the temp was lower, but it was a lovely traditional Greek village with the square where locals all descend every evening to chat in the pavement bars.
The apartment was extremely large, 2double bedrooms, ample sized kitchen and big enough shower room. We found it to be cleaned every day were were there and towels were replenished if left on floor, so no complaints there.
We tended to go to Faliraki each evening as we were visiting family and there is more variety of evening entertainment. Taxis only cost between 5 and 8 euros each way.
Pool area very good and bar/restaurant reasonably priced and decent food. all in all, we found we got what we paid for.

The room was basic but fairly roomy and clean. The only thing was our room was only cleaned once in the week we stayed there and our towels changed the same. However, when I read other reports the rooms were cleaned more frequently.
The hotel itself was nice enough and did have a family atmosphere. I didn't find the staff particularly friendly, but the people I met up with made up for this. As it is a fairly small hotel and pretty isolated, the people in the hotel were great - and everybody got to know practically everyone else. The kids also played together and there was a nice little park for them to play in as well as a games room which was basic but fine. The pool was lovely and cleaned every night.
The food in the hotel was basic - but nice. I would recommend the Georgia chicken - a beautiful cream, bacon and mushroom sauce over heaps of chicken, rice and chips - lovely. The Greek salad is also beautiful and the prices reasonable.
As before the hotel is a little isolated, but Afandou a lovely little village is about a 15 minute walk away. The road taking you there though was pretty dark and ran out of pavement in some parts but a taxi was about 5 Euros. Faliraki was also only a short distance away and this cost about 8 Euros.
Unfortunately because the end of season the Greek night was cancelled but I'd heard it was a great night. On a Tuesday though there was a Karaoke/Disco night and was great fun - for adults and kids.
My first impressions of the Georgia weren't good but after the first night there I met some great friends who were brilliant fun and it was an ideal place to relax and get away from it all. It
