really good stay!

The extra large room included a record player, which i found to be very entertaining. complimentary top-shelf drinks were available, a generous touch. nikos at the front office provided a polaroid camera for a few hours. This added a unique, fun element to our visit. the room upgrade upon our return was quite welcome, a generous gesture.
The standard rooms seem somewhat small.
