FAQ & Hidden tips
Everything you actually want to know before you book.
Is the pool heated?
Some private pools are heated, but not all. You must request/book a specific heated pool suite, especially for May or October stays.
Can I walk to restaurants?
Practically, no. The hotel has a restaurant, but other options like 'O! Hamos!' are a drive away. Walking on the road is not recommended.
Is it adults-only?
No, families are welcome and there are Family Suites, but the vibe is predominantly quiet and couple-focused.
How is the wifi?
Surprisingly good for an island, with speeds often testing at 50+ Mbps.
Is there a gym?
Yes, there is a small fitness center, but it's basic. Good for a quick treadmill run, not a full powerlifting session.
Is the beach nice?
Achivadolimni is a long, sandy beach. It's beautiful but often windy. Great for kite surfing, sometimes choppy for swimming.
