We stayed for 8 nights at the Panorama hotel and found lots of positives. Firstly, it is great value for money! Don't go expecting a UK 5* hotel, but set your aspirations realistically - it is a very good Greek 4* hotel. We stayed on Ultra All Inclusive in an Executive Suite for less than the cost of one night at the Premier Inn Gatwick Airport for room only!! The location of the hotel is fine but it is a 20 minutes' walk to the nearest restaurants and bars. Firstly the room - we booked an Executive Suite which was extremely spacious with, at our request, a walk in shower which turned out to be one of their disabled rooms but that was no problem for us as we didn't want to climb into a bath for an over-bath shower. The room had lovely uninterrupted sea views across to Turkey but on the 4th floor, the full sea view rooms get no sun on the balcony at all. Probably great in the height of summer but less so on windy and inclement days at the start of the season. The bed was comfortable but as others have said, the room was somewhat dated but we were happy with it as we wanted space and it was like a comfortable pair of slippers. There was a fridge and an efficient safe. The public areas of the hotel are excellent and there has clearly been an inves**ent over the winter months with new sun loungers, furniture for the hotel's public seating areas and all public spaces were always pristine. We found the vast majority of the staff very friendly and attentive and service at both the Pool Bar and the main bar was efficient, we never had to wait. We only went for breakfast once and it was the standard fare and we booked 'Triton' on three occasions for the evening meal as part of our package. The menu was limited but we found food we liked and it was nice to have table service for a change rather than the buffet. The 'Dolmades' as a starter were warm and excellent and the Greek Salad was fine as a starter. My wife had the sardines twice as a main course and these were a generous portion and fully filleted, so no bones which was a bonus. I had the Perch one night which was tasty and the other nights the steak which was good. French fries were willingly served if requested. For all lunches we used the buffet restaurant and as often as the weather allowed, we sat outside on the terrace which was a very pleasant experience. Full marks go to the chefs who prepared a wonderful array of salads that varied each day and were totally delicious. We could always find something we liked on the hot food but as others have commented, it could generally be hotter. Well recommended are the small Thai Chicken Burgers and the swordfish that appeared one lunch time. The hot Greek vegetable offerings were also very good. Evening buffets were also enjoyable and in fairness, if you wanted to, you could just eat copious amounts of the wonderful salads and of course the delicious Baklava. The 'Ultra All Inclusive' drinks often ran out e.g. Tia Maria, Baileys, Prosecco on one occasio
