Pros +
- Beautiful views and traditional Greek food at diner and breakfast.
- If you want to do windsurfing, the location is amazing. You can bring your own gear and you're in walking distance of the clubs.The hotel staff was extremely nice, they came for airport pickup and offered drop off as well. Highly recommended
- Perfect place to stay for a windsurfing holiday. The guests return regularly and create a wonderful community. The pool is heaven for the children.
Cons -
- Sliced yellow ( none Greek cheese ) at breakfast. Nice if they also had a proper coffee machine
- The mattresses really could be improved. Especially if you have an “extra bed”, it is so soft and lacking in support that it makes for uncomfortable nights and back ache.
- Mosquitos during the night, would advise to mount the nets also on the balcony door.Bed madraces will need replacement soon.

Perfect location. Rooms were very big we could store our windsurfing gear in it with no problem. Food was delicious with various options for dinner. Overall would recommend and would definitely come back.
There wasn't enough staff but they were doing their best. The breakfast layout was good, better than usual for this class hotel. There was a large pool and access to a beach. Their downfall was their bathrooms! Typical Greek C class bathroom with just enough space to say it's there! The bed/pillow situation was not good and even the Greek TV channels were missing!
Good location for windsurfing, close to the spot, good food, friendly hosts, good allocation of smaller buildings that constitute the hotel complex
Mosquitos during the night, would advise to mount the nets also on the balcony door.Bed madraces will need replacement soon.
A wonderful location, directly at the beach. When we stayed at the hotel, at the end of septmeber, the hotel was quiet. We really liked that. The open restaurant provided a wonderful view on the sea and the swimmingpool. Staff was helpful and friendly .The complex was very clean and well maintained. The deck chairs at the beach were provided for free by the hotel; an appreciated service. Food was basic, nof frills, but absolutely fine.
The matrasses were a little hard. But no further complaints.
Pool, food, airport shuttle, comfortable room, helpful staff.
Gym was a mess, fixes weights machine our of order. Spa wasn't operational.
Since I came for windsurfing, location was perfect as it was just a few minutes walking from ION Club windsurf center. Hotel is well maintained, rooms are clean and comfortable, staff is friendly and food is great.We were allowed to keep the room for a few hours beyond the checkout time, so we could shower and change before leaving to the airport. Free transport was arranged from and to the airport.
I am quite tall and the bed was a bit short for me, but that did not really bother me.Towels were replaced every day which I find somehow unnecessary and not very eco-friendly. I would rather see the policy - towel on the floor means I want it to be changed, hanged towel means I will use it again.
Location great for a surfer, and even a non surfer accompanying person would be very happy. Everything very clean, food excellent, local cuisine, didnt use the pool but it looked great. Airconditioning working great, staff beyond friendly. Picked up and dropped off at the airport. Finally someone holding a sign for me at the airport ?
Had a minor issue with the room when arrived, sorted out instantly.
The pool is beautiful, clean and the ideal temperature - the kids loved it. The buffet breakfasts are perfect for starting a day of windsurfing. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. And there was good camaraderie with the other windsurfing guests.
Yes, there were some mosquitoes if you left the windows open all day but quite easily killed at dusk anyway.
Generally we would rank the hotel as average. Some good points and some less.The good points:•The hotel location: right next to a very calm beach with crystal clear water and very good for a swim. In a peaceful area with almost no other hotel in sight. The proximity to the airport (3 minutes’ drive) and the free shuttle service is also an important benefit.•The pool is nice and the hotels provides good pool towels for free•The food served on breakfast and dinner (buffet style) is basic but OK. The variety could improve but we understand the problem of running a relatively small hotel that cannot offer a large variety of different choices. However we would advise the holet to change the menu more frequently. You keep getting the same salads and main courses over and over every other day. We usually do not book half board but we would recommend it after all in this hotel, because of the lack of alternatives in walking distances from the hotel. •The Service: Irini hotel is in between a family run hotel and a commercial large hotel. On one hand the front desk clerk was very helpful and helped us to find and call a rental car company when we arrived, the restaurant stuff were very friendly, and you see the owners (and their sweet dog) around smiling to the guests, but on the other hand the hotel lacks the personal intimate connection we usually experienced in other family run hotels we visited in the past. The only time the owner came to talk to us was when we left the hotel back to the airport.
The less good points:•Price and Room type: as we reserved a “see view room” we were a little disappointed that we received a room not fronting the beach but in the back of the hotel with view of mainly other buildings, trees, pool, restaurant etc. and only on the horizon the beach. This is not the regular definition of “see view room” and the hotel should know that providing such a room that does not match its name, damages the satisfaction of the clients. On top of it the room is basic, and the sower is very small. Relative to the value of the room (and food) you get, the price we paid for the room is expensive (around 150€ per day), comparing other hotels we’ve been to in Greece•Maintenance of the hotel: the room was cleaned very well almost every day (not on Sunday), but the toiletries were provided in a randomized order. Luckily we brought some soap and shampoo with us. In addition there is no check that all is working properly in the room: For example our main room light was not working during all week we stayed in the hotel (We didn’t really need it and decided not to ask for it to be fixed during our stay, but still…). The same with the safe deposit that was locked when we entered the room (probably due to a former guest) and no one made sure it was opened when we checked in. Also the balcony had just one chair (and the same balcony of the room next door had 3 chairs…)•Checkout: you should note the checkout is until 11:00 AM, though Booking.com stated differently. Eventually the hotel agreed to change the time due to this mistake in the booking info, but it took some time for them to agree. In addition we were charged twice with the same “government tax” for our stay- once through booking.com and once in cash during checkout. Eventually booking.com agreed to refund the double charge.To sum up: we had a good vacation staying in the hotel but we would not rank the hotel as one of our top picks, though also not as a disappointment. Something in betwe
A great hotel with a good food and a great location. Perfect for windsurfers.
we really appreciated the access to the sea and windsurf bay. Suoer nice if you would like that. The staff were actually so kind to help in every need we had. Car rental, windsurfing classes, pick-up (not free-but arranged. Food was good, gave the taste and the feeling of home made.
We knew that the location is not the central. However generally it is a bit tricky to transport in the island.
Super friendly Host, nice clean rooms, great location, great pool
Beds were a little hard
Fantastic location for windsurfers! It didn’t matter that it’s far from the town centre as you have everything you need close by for a windsurfing and relaxing holiday! The staff were always very friendly and helpful ?
Beds were a little hard, but everting else was great!
The cleanliness the beauty off the place service very good
The food was tasty but no variety.all the time the same a little boringQuite far from town and no cheep transfer need a car for everything
Good breakfast, pool, beach
Mosquito control
a warm welcome at the front desk. the room was spotless. they do a buffet dinner for €5 which has to be seen to be believed. what value!hotel transfer is a 3 minute drive to the airport. very convenient.
the area is very famous for wind surfing and not for no reason - it is in a very naturally windy location.
nice location, clean hotel, good breafkast, swimming pool, friendly staff
