A good stay with one disappointment.
Booked a partial sea view but were not allocated one. Our room overlooked the garden which although pleasant enough it is not what we booked. Yiannis did apologise but it makes me insecure about what room I might be given if I wish to stay again,

A hotel with a little extra.
We were very happy with our stay at the Aris Hotel. Staff were helpful and friendly. Everywhere was spotless and well maintained to a high standard. A good choice was available at breakfast and well presented observing Covid hygiene regulations. The garden was a special feature with lovely planting and quirky, interesting sculptures a delightful feature all made from locally recycled wood and stone. We will return.
