Find the Cheap Mparmpati Hotels

I didn’t expect much from the 2* hotel with bad reviews, but the hotel promised two of my requirements- a beautiful sea view and an adult-only hotel. Unfortunately, it failed in both. The sea view is not as advertised- maybe on the second floor, but on the first floor, all you can see from the balcony is the top of the restaurant roof. I could live with that, but once we went to the swimming pool on the third day of our stay, a family showed up with their maybe 6-7-year-old daughter, jumping and shouting all the time/ the mom was even louder than the girl/. The hotel didn't have water twice for a couple of hours so we took a shower at the beach, and once there was kind of an electricity outage so the air-conditioning and refrigerator didn't work in the afternoon and evening. The double bed was not a double bed, it was about 120 or 130cm wide, and such trouble for two grown-ups to sleep on. The mattress was with springs and was super bouncy, not comfortable at all. There are no hangers for shower towels and no place to dry beach towels on the balcony. The shower curtain is a nightmare, sticking on your back all the time during showering. Only once during breakfast, I ordered two 0.2 bottles of Prosecco in the hotel bar, and the price was 20e, and in all bars around the hotel, it is half-price. The hotel is very dated but very clean. What makes it special are the people working there. Every single one was super polite. The two young ladies working on the reception desk were so helpful. The room was well-cleaned every day and we got clean towels each time! The restaurant is renovated, breakfast was more than OK- repetitive, but you cannot expect more than they offer. The dinner didn't offer many vegetarian options, so we had salads and some potatoes a couple of times, and the rest of the nights, we had dinner in some of the local and the old town restaurants. Anyway, whatever we had was so tasty! The location is great. The air-conditioning is old but worked well, and a huge plus is that an outdoor unit is not on the balcony, so there is no noise. I was surprised by the room isolation- no sounds from the rooms around, we only heard some laughing a couple of times when someone passed by late at night by the room door. Altogether, the hotel is more than worth the money you for it. If the balcony was better and if there were no children, I would score it with four or five stars!

I’m just back from a week staying at the Wilde Rose hotel and I can say it was truly an enjoyable stay. I would highly recommend booking a stay! The hotel is run by Christos and his two sons who offer above-and-beyond service, going out of their way to meet the needs of their guests, nothing was too much trouble. They even suggested and arranged various trips for us, including a boat trip to Paxos. The rooms are basic, clean and offer everything you need with fresh clean bed sheets and comfy beds. The room is cleaned daily by the hotel staff, the bed is made and fresh towels provided. The cleaning staff are excellent. I stayed in an outside bungalow type room which had a very cute private terrace where me and my friends enjoyed evening drinks and chatting. The hotel grounds are natural and there’s outside covered seating if you wish to chill with friends. We spent several evenings in the hotel bar and taverna, which is located at the front of the hotel and open to tourists and locals. The food and drinks are reasonably priced and very good quality, we ate there on several occasions. We also very much enjoyed spending time with Christos, Dimitri and family, playing music, having drinks and lots of laughs. They are very kind and lovely people. The hotel is easy to find and is located a 5min walk to the beach. There are several tavernas nearby and some very good supermarkets. I would book again without any hesitation.

This is the third time my wife and I have stayed at the Elea Beach and we will come again! The welcome is very good, the staff overall are great (thank you Georgia and Magda) and the rooms are of a good standard, well maintained and serviced by the cleaning staff. The hotel is set back from the main road passing through Dassia so in a quiet spot and is right on the beach. The food is of a high standard and very varied, a good mix of Mediterranean and European. A special thanks to the lady who does the eggs at breakfast - always ready to please ! Πολλά ευχαριστώ! And another to the lady who provides a relaxing and curative reflexology service, much appreciated by my wife`s back! John (and Florence) McInally
