This is no-where near a 4-star hotel. Firstly, the food was pretty much the same every day 3 times a day. The majority of the meals were stone cold, the bread was stale, and the drinks were flat! The room itself was ok apart from the open wires in the shower cubicle. The guests are 90% Russian and are the... More

The plan was to use airport transfers to/from Gouves and then hire a car for seven days in Gouves. This was also not the original hotel I booked but three... More
