The staff was very welcoming to us in English. The breakfast they served was fantastic and they even packed a breakfast for my husband and two boys who wanted to go hike Mt. Olympus early the next morning. They graciously extended the stay for one of our rooms so my daughter and I would have somewhere to relax while we waited for my husband and sons to return from their hike. There are beach towels available to rent and they even provided us with a beach umbrella. The beach is just a short walk from the hotel. I would return here in a heartbeat.
