Panorama Sea View Studio & Apartments

The apartments were traditional, very quiet, incredibly peaceful, spacious and clean. Overall it was the perfect place for a relaxing life-detox which is what I went for. Total peace and quiet. The location is difficult without a car so I wouldn’t recommend going unless you rent one (you can do this easily at reception). Air conditioning is additional €6 per day, safe is €8 per week. The staff are very friendly, the pool is small but there was never many people so it wasn’t any problem. There was no washing up liquid or kitchen towel so bring your own! There are no shops or restaurants close by at all (Lidl is 20 minutes walk and for tavernas maybe 30 minutes walk). You can’t order takeaway with reception if you wish, I didn’t so I don’t know if they are any good There are beaches within 15 minutes walk but many are stony so you can’t get in the water (bring water shoes or buy them from the tourist shop at the beach). Golden beach is sandy and has sunbeds and easy access in to the sea - it is 25 minutes walk (very steep hills coming back, not suitable for young or older people or people less steady on their feet) and sunbeds + Umbrella are around €15 for the whole day. It has showers, toilets and a beach bar. Nothing in the area that I found or saw was wheelchair accessible at all and you’d struggle a little with a buggy because of the hills as well.

On arrival from the outside looked okay and clean if not a little tired. Lots of seating areas dotted about which was nice. Unsure why this listing is rated a 4 though. The apartment did not feel clean, the floor felt sticky and feet were filthy if you were barefoot. The room was not soundproof as suggested in the listing and we could hear other guests moving around the rooms beside and above us which, when they came home at gone midnight was not great. Bathroom not at a good standard and very tired with dirty grouting and sealant. On arrival no hot water at all but by the next day the water was hot and remained so throughout the stay. The bed was uncomfortable and the sheets didn’t fit properly so every night by morning you ended up straight onto the mattress. Not bedding change as advised on the rules listed on the wall. Bath sheets were changed after 4 days but the new ones were not clean! Kitchen area felt unclean with doors that didn’t shut and rust on the sink - just didn’t feel clean. No kitchen towel/tea towel so unable to dry anything. Although there is a tv, it is small and the furniture didn’t face it so awkward to watch anything of an evening if desired. Lovely to have a pool with beautiful views of the sunset but although it was never crowded and always able to find a sun lounger, there was a dirty line all around the edge and stuff in the bottom of the pool. Pool bar looked lovely and could be a nice place to relax but was only open one night and nothing to advise when would be open etc. Outside areas was nice to chill out on of an evening but broken plastic chair and tired tables. May have just been really unlucky with allocation of the apartments and others May have been at a better standard. We stuck it out for a few days but were out all day most days exploring the island. We moved hotels towards the end of week as the bed was so uncomfortable and facilities were not making the experience feel like a holiday! Overall a good location - supermarket a 10-15 minute walk away, beachfront 15 minutes away so the plenty of car hire and eateries.

Lovely family run hotel / apartments. Very friendly and helpful hosts. Swimming pool clean and not crowded. Sunbeds always available. Variety of drinks and snacks at the pool bar. Overall happy and enjoyed our stay. Highly recommend......
