Andreolas Beach

The hotel is located right by the beach in very calm part pf Laganas, which is an excellent feature. However, if you are expecting typical Greek warmth, you will not experience it from the reception staff. As we spent most of our time traveling around the island, the room equipment was not a major priority for us, but there are a few factual observations worth noting for future guests: Breakfast: If available, it is recommended to book without breakfast. The hotel's buffet is very basic and repetitive, consisting daily of low-cost cheese and salami, overcooked eggs, bread, cornflakes, and dry pound cake. We preferred purchasing our own fruit, vegetables, and yogurt. Housekeeping: Room cleaning was omitted for the first few days. After raising the issue with the staff, cleaning and towel changes were performed on a regular basis. Bathroom: The bathroom requires a functional exhaust fan to address the high humidity and resulting mold. Pool: The hotel swimming pool appears well-maintained, although we did not personally use it.

I really should read reviews before booking. Was shocked at the €10 a day for aircon! As it was October, thankfully didn't need it. No toiletries provided. No kettle, when I asked I was told I can buy coffee from the bar. I bought a kettle and hid it each day. Tiny shower, claustrophobic with the curtain drawn. Water everywhere with the curtain open. The shower cable leaked really badly, had to hold the cable so the leak showered me as hardly any water came out of the shower head. Breakfast was bread, butter, cheese, ham, jam and cake. No tomatoes, no fruit. No variation. My last day the bread was so stale I couldn't eat the crusts. Gorgeous view from the dining room. My view was of the hotel next door. The pool sunloungers were comfortable. Had to pay for the ones on the beach, which were uncomfortable. For some reason there's loads of what looks like dried bamboo between the sunlougers and the sea. Blocks the view. There's a small carpark between the hotel and the beach, full of potholes. Slept well, comfy clean bed. The staff smiled a lot but don't think their English is very good. The place was clean, they never came while I was in. The shop closest, on the road, is expensive ~ avoid. There is a sea water stream near the hotel. It smells stagnant, although it can't be. The smell comes into the bathroom when running water. Before booking I wasn't aware Laganas is a party town, some of the guides and restaurant owners really hit on women, thinking we're there for one reason! Very uncomfortable. Would never return due to the hotel and lecherous men. Highlight was seeing turtles and stunning sunrises.

When I visit places I expect the people that are in the career of hospitality to be hospitable… Giannis has a great collection of t-shirts … however doesn’t look like he’s enjoying the work place so much … he looks like he hates his job in fact …. So breakfast was not to my liking … boiled eggs cheese and luncheon meat style ham … Greek style bread lurpak (always a bonus ) jams … worst coffee in the world I mean really bad … some not descriptive cordial … dry cake … really you could improve this without breaking the bank ! Rooms need a refresh .. linin clean towels clean … shower and bathroom sink need attention hanging off the wall and shower only hand held use Pool clean ..sun beds all reserved all day by people not even there all day … close to beach and beach bars
