Hotel Pasiphae

OUTSTANDING. We've already booked it next year before we left. The rooms are simple but comfortable, breakfast and lunch are nice, the pool bar is quite good. The pool and grounds are great. They put on events multiple times a week for evening entertainment. The location is ideal- just outside of a wonderful village and beach, nicely situated in the center of the island. A short car rental or taxi from anywhere. Highly recommend it for a lovely, relaxing week or two in the sun!!

We were in one of the swim-up rooms. Nice enough, good bathroom and separate loo both of which I think had been recently refurbished. The bed was comfortable. No safe in the room but you could rent one in reception. Housekeeping came almost every day, which we all agreed wasn’t really necessary. The swim up pool is shared by all rooms on the block - I think about 8 of them. It felt a bit off to swim in front of the neighbours but as long as you got to know them, it was fine. But when a family arrived we all had to listen to their music which shattered the peace a bit. Our neighbours found a wasps nest outside their room but it was dealt with swiftly when they reported it. I also liked that our terrace looked out over the kitchen garden where they were growing all sorts of vegetables. We didn’t use the main pool, which seemed to have the usual battle of towels down to bag a sun-bed. The sun-bed mattresses were tired and shabby, and it looked as though most of the covers were stained by suntan lotion and probably sweat. They could do with being washed. Breakfast was fine with a decent selection. They know how to poach an egg. The coffee machine is decent, but there was inevitably a queue for it. We didn’t see any evidence of food options at other times of the day, apart from their barbecue night. But we didn’t look that hard. The pool bar was nice enough although the music choices were questionable given that most of the guests were older. The guy running the hotel didn’t seem to be particularly friendly, and I was disappointed that no one bothered to tell me that my delayed baggage had been delivered. I found it some time later, abandoned in reception. It’s a 10-minute walk into the village, which offers little shade and involves crossing the obligatory (every Greek village appears to have one) stinky bridge which seems to be the hotel’s sewage soak away. I could be wrong and it takes less than a minute’s walk to be clear of it. Having said all that, there wasn’t enough to write it off. The island is beautiful and we may well go back to another area and hire a car to explore.

Beautiful property, amazing owners and staff. You can hear the relaxing sounds of nature from your very cozy, brand new and clean room. Will be back!

My brother and I had a very nice stay here in April this year for one week. The staff were all lovely, rooms were very clean and serviced daily. The pool area is spacious with a great pool. The hotel is located about a ten minute walk from the resort centre over level ground. At breakfast there was always a good choice of freshly prepared items. I will hopefully be returning at some point soon. Oh! Forgot to mention the adorable little dog that seemed to be resident.

Just returned from a week here. Nice hotel just a short walk from the seafront and a plethora of lovely tavernas. Pool is nice and unusually deep. Rooms have good air con and breakfasts were good with lots of choice. Great birdwatching areas all around..
