Nice hotel that is close to Balos Beach. Note that this hotel isn't on Balos beach, but is the closest you can stay to Balos Beach. the actual Balos beach is still a 9km drive from the hotel and then a 2 km hike down. The property is nice and clean, cute backyard that backs up to the ocean. The beach by the hotel is rocky, but very scenic.

Nice Hotel

We managed to get a very good deal on a half board basis in a standard one bedroom apartment.  We paid approximately half of the standard b&b price!.

The hotel is in a remote location at the end of a badly maintained road with no footpaths.  A car is definitely needed with a young family.
This hotel would not be suited to people looking for a lively holiday with lots of nightlife as there is nothing happening here. There is absolutely no entertainment other than the swimming pool to occupy children and a small bar.  The hotel is excellent for people wanting a relaxing holiday exploring the beautiful beaches in the area.  

On arrival we were allocated room 101, located near to the reception and restaurant. 
Although the apartment was spacious, the tiny bathroom was terrible.  It was very dated and mouldy.  There were serious drainage issues and water would overflow from the bath up through the drain in the floor resulting in flooding which was evidently a regular problem due to the fact the wooden doors and furniture were showing signs of water damage.
The kitchen was also tiny with no overhead cupboards so all crockery and cutlery was kept under the sink which was located directly outside the bathroom door.  We personally found this unhygienic so didn't use the kitchen facilities.
The bedroom didn't have air con, just a ceiling fan.
We were told that our room was one of the last waiting to be upgraded (which could be the reason for our bargain!) which should be happening over the winter so hopefully all rooms should be perfect for 2018.

The staff were fantastic with dealing with the problem and upgraded us to a  junior suite (room 507) as soon as one was available a couple of days after arrival.
The suite which had been recently updated was very spacious with excellent sea views.  Unlike the apartment it had a huge modern bathroom, air con in the bedroom and a better equipped kitchen.  The balcony was however smaller than the terrace in the standard apartment  and the shower water was surprisingly not as hot or powerful as in the shabby apartment!

The restaurant was excellent.  There was a huge selection every day for breakfast and a lovely lady would cook fresh eggs, pancakes and omelettes to order.  The restaurant had a large terrace with magnificent views where we could continue to watch the sun rise during breakfast.
The evening buffet had a different menu every day serving a great variety of tasty salads, hot dishes, fresh fruit and desserts.
The only problem we had was, half board didn't include drinks (which we expected) but they refused to give a copy of the drinks bill that you signed for each night.  You therefore had no record for yourself of what you were spending.  When you are staying a week or two it makes it difficult to keep track of so we had to take a photo of the bill each night.
The restaurant could also have done with some background music in the evening to avoid the school or hospital canteen feel and the hot food wasn't particularly hot even at the beginning of service.  The show cooking was Italian Pasta every day.  It would have been nice to have another option occasionally for people who don't eat pasta.

The swimming pool was freezing cold but it was October.
The beach although pretty was too rocky and the sand very dark, almost mud like.  We had to travel in the car to visit much nicer beaches.
