The hotel is beautiful. Its modern and extremely clean! The staff are smart, well trained, courteous and efficient. Such a rarity these days! I loved the small touches, the toiletries/hair dryer/bathrobes/slippers and a lovely bottle prosecco with baklava to greet us. They even have a clothes dryer on the balcony for your wet swimwear. Much appreciated. Flat screen TV with ambient lighting to catch the morning news and great air-conditioning. Then of course there's the amazing view. Lichnos Bay is very pretty if not a little remote. The hotel sits high on a steep hill, hence the views. There is a golf buggy driven by staff available for the less able bodied or elderly guests as a shuttle up the hill from the beach/bars/restaurant. The beach loungers are allocated according to your room location and are plush with a pillow. Very comfortable. Towels are exchanged with your allocated tokens each day. The beach is shingle and I would advise taking/purchasing deck shoes as not only is it sharp but very hot! It's very difficult to walk the beach as you sink into the shingle and there are so many sunbeds. The water was lovely and cool. Great respite from the heat. If you are taking the children, you'd need to watch them closely at the waters edge as the drop-off is almost immediate. You are out of your depth at 4-5 feet in. There is a lovely taverna to the right of the hotel as you face the sea with a small supermarket behind. We ate there a couple times for a change of scenery. Because the bay is remote it can get pretty boring so we took taxi's into Parga at €9 for a meal and to brows the cute shops. There is a water taxi at 10am, 2pm, 4pm and 6pm. There is no entertainment at the hotel but they had a great children's club area and most people were in bed by 10pm! The pool was full of children so not relaxing and we were not able to swim early as it was being cleaned. No matter, the sea looks like a lake and is lovely and clear. If I were being picky, my grievances would be extra charges for drinks with meals Inc Coffee/water, bland samey food (no fish....this is Greece!) Paying for tea/coffee in the room, no entertainment ( how about a barbecue evening or at least a guitarist/similar) The hill and the aggressive neighbouring hotels. (Don't cross their ropes for goodness sake!) All in all, lovely hotel for a good rest but we felt it was just too quiet and remote for us.
