A hotel where you can enjoy the feeling of being in the Aegean Sea.All rooms have ocean views, and the exterior and interior are based on Aegean-style blue and white.When you go down the stairs from the hotel, you can see the ocean right in front of you!From 15:00 to 17:00, you can enjoy all-you-can-drink welcome drinks, and in addition to soft drinks, you can also drink wine and soup freely.By choosing to include dinner, I was able to eat Greek cuisine and enjoy various dishes that I had never tried before.The hotel sometimes holds events, and on the Sunday night I stayed there, I had fun playing a game of blackjack.What I personally thought was wonderful was the service where you could rent a wedding dress, and you were free to take your own photos inside the hotel.For breakfast, you can eat all-you-can-eat bread on stylish plates.It was a wonderful hotel with many recommended points.

We stayed here as a couple in our 50s. After walking around the Wakaura promenade, we ate Greek food and had a wonderful time. The breakfast was delicious and the background music was playing while watching the sea of ​​Wakaura with the low tide of Paul Mauriat.It was also a blissful time.

It's the best hotel I've ever stayed at. The Mediterranean-style exterior and interior, as well as the sea view, are full of atmosphere. The view from the restaurant on the 4th floor is especially spectacular. The food is also delicious. Enjoy the open-air bath. You can even try on wedding dresses for free on the second floor.

I used it on a trip with my female family. Everyone was very impressed with the beautiful interior of the room, which was unified in white and blue. The view of the bay from the window is amazing. You can also step down to your almost private beach from the back door on the first floor. There is also a bar in front of the beach (operated unrelated to the hotel), and it was a wonderful experience to have a drink at the bar while looking at the night view and then walk back to the hotel.The breakfast was just enough to fill me up and everything was delicious.This is a hotel that I would definitely like to visit again.

It's a beautiful hotel with an ocean view, and there are so many unique Greek dishes that you won't be able to eat them all. You can easily go to the small beach right in front of you. The water is also clean.I was a little worried about the old inn and noisy bar next door, but I liked the sunrise from my room and the promenade. Although there is no hot spring, the bath in the room has an ocean view, the sink is spacious, and the staff are very attentive, making it a hotel I would like to visit again.
