Fantastic two week stay at the Golden Mare, staff cannot do enough for you and go above and beyond to make your stay the best, Elena and Katerina on Reception greet you with a smile from the start and if you need any information on buses to get around the island they are your girls. Hotel: Very clean throughout, rooms comfortable with very good beds, bathroom slightly dated but you gloss over that as they are so clean, housekeeping very thorough and if anything is needed just ask and they will supply. Pool Area: The view is outstanding, whole area cleaned everyday, pool is a nice depth and there is also an attached shallow children’s pool, we had no problem getting a sunbed, there are no parasols but there are two shaded areas, the bar is situated at the side of the pool and Nefeli and Aggeliki will look after your drink requests. There is also entertainment most evenings beside the pool from Greek night to local singers. Food: Self service restaurant, however if you need assistance Katia and Kostas the waiting staff will help with anything, good variety of food and we had a vegetarian with us who found plenty they could eat, Greek and English dishes at lunchtime and dinner, with a good salad and sweet bar, lots of choices for breakfast from cooked to continental and of course Greek yogurt with fresh or dried fruit, as we were there for a fortnight it can be a little repetitive- but you will definitely not go hungry - if you are a coffee lover then take some with you or buy on day one as that was the only real let down as it is a machine and not the best. We will definitely return and would highly recommend, thank you to all the staff for being such fun and so welcoming.
