Recensioni su Hotel Oceanis

This holiday was booked through TUI. The hotel was generally good. The positives were: location was great for views of the area; our bedroom was good (we were offered two choices); the hotel was clean and the cleaning staff were excellent; the breakfasts were more than adequate; the room air con was excellent; the pool was adequate; our double bed was large and comfortable; the hotel was quiet at night which suited us and the snacks and drinks on offer were good and reasonably priced. With regard to the location of the hotel there is a significantly steep climb up from the harbour and the town and the complimentary mini bus to the town was an essential service. There were some things that needed improvement: the hotel could be far better with a bit of TLC and simple maintenance. Our shower and toilet was tight but the shower was poor, for the want of a new shower head fitting to replace the one which was hanging loose off the wall would have made a great deal of difference to our stay. The pool area and sun beds needed maintenance (or replacement). Fixing the sun beds so that the back rests were safe and secure would go a long way to making the poolside a better place. The hotel is a 'rabbit warren' with bedrooms on many different levels over 5 floors and no lift. Anyone with mobility issues needs to think carefully before coming here. The owners were pleasant and mostly helpful, but they looked fatigued and gave the impression that they needed additional help, especially with the requests for the transport to and from the town. The coach transfers (organised by TUI) took 2 gruelling hours on arrival and just over an hour on the homeward journey. The Oceanis was the last drop off, (even the TUI rep gets off the coach at Skala and leaves the driver to complete the transfer). So add 2 hours to your overall journey and in high temperatures. Note: if you drove from the airport without stops it would be around 45 minutes. This is not the fault of the Hotel. As mentioned the breakfast provided was a good selection and additional cooked breakfast can be ordered at reasonable cost. Whilst we were here every breakfast was plagued by wasps, not the hotel's fault directly, but an issue for many guests. At times the majority of guests tried to eat inside (to get away from the wasps) but unfortunately the inside area was not large enough to accommodate everyone. We ate some midday and evening meals at the nearby Agrapidos restaurant and did not suffer from wasps and neither did we when eating at the hotel's bar which was pretty close to the breakfast room; this suggests that there was a local wasp nest near the room and maybe something could have been done to eradicate? Without the bus service to the town it is possible to walk down if you are reasonably fit. The shortest route is very steep and arduous and if done before the high temperatures are reached its a reasonable walk. But only those with good fitness could make the journey back and the h
