Kasapakis Hotel

The staff really made this a good place to stay. They were very friendly and helpful and even took us to the bus stop when we left. They were really good with our son and kept him entertained as well. Lovely people. The pool was great, perfectly maintained and not too cold. The rooms were well maintained and comfortable, and cleaned well every day. Food on the menu was reasonably priced and what we ate was well prepared (we ordered a la carte), however only cash payment is available. There are lots of options nearby for souvenir shopping, a few markets and some decent restaurants, as well as places to rent cars and book excursions, however there is not much else, and everything closes fairly early, so don't expect any nightlife.

The breakfast should be listed as "continental" rather than buffet. It is mostly cold cuts, bread, cereal and spreads, no hot foods. A toaster would have been nice. While there is a beach across the street, it is rocky and not nice for swimming. The nicer part of the beach takes a 10 minute walk to where you can rent sun loungers for 5 or 6 euros. Some essentials are missing from the kitchen, so be prepared to bring your own (cooking utensils, soap and sponge, salt and pepper, etc) as these are not provided, making self-catering challenging. Wifi is only available by the pool or in the restaurant, not in the rooms. Air conditioning is not always included, so check your reservation caefully, as it costs 7 euro per night if you book a room without a/c. Thankfully our booking included it and we didn't get a shock.
