First of all, the studios are not 6 minutes walk from the sea but 700 meters, measured, which means just 10 minutes walking, as we were also dragging children. If your physical condition along with children and carrying bags allows you to walk almost a kilometre at 35-40 degrees under the sun, you will have no problem. Secondly, the balcony as seen in the flattering photo is not private but you share it with 3 rooms so your private space is non existent. But all that could be fine and pretty much bearable. The worst is the air conditioning, it is a comparatively small unit which clearly does not cover the space, as the studio has 2 bedrooms in a row (which DO NOT have a door for isolation so if you are a family take that into consideration) and the cooling capacity is not enough for either space. When we arrived, the atmosphere was stuffy and we decided to leave the air conditioning on for as long as we went to the beach, hoping to create liveable conditions. When we returned at noon, the air conditioning was shut off and the atmosphere unbearable. We presumed the owner had shut it off so we asked her about this and were told that the air condition probably shut off "by itself" due to "frequent power failures". For once, we thought this could be the case and we considered that just tough luck. I have asthma, we tried to operate the air con for a while to cool the place down but it was impossible for me to stay in the room under these conditions so I had to sleep with all the windows open which means that we were severely bitten by mosquitoes as the windows do not have nets nor has the room the electrical anti-mosquito devices. 
The next day we again let the air conditioning on and we returned again only to find it switched off! Once again we called the owner who, truly annoyed and with a very rude tone, informed us that she did not shut it off and insisted that there was a power failure again (what a coincidence)...However we were in a neighbouring building all day and did NOT notice any power failure ... I would accept her apology, saying for example that this was their eco policy or something, but do not like to be treated as stupid.

In any case, the bathroom  is tiny and old-fashioned. Clearly the owners have refurbished with visible IKEA items what can be flattering in the photographs avoiding the essentials , such as the bathroom and air conditioning which is inadequate, old, noisy.

We did not use the kitchen because we could not stand the heat in the room.

If you want to visit, do it in the winter. In the summer there are far better options in the area.

Hot as hell...

A little older place but well kept up. Clean, spacious room, with comfy bed. Just a short walk to the center and close to the beach. Over all a good value apartment hotel. The owner is lovely, and very helpful for any request. Pet friendly. Highly Recommeneded! I would stay here again.

Simple and clean

We spent 8 days in room 8 and had a great time. Hotel is located in the center of Kakovatos, just 2min drive from the beach. A family business hotel, great hospitality, so friendly owner. Interior design of rooms can be improved but it's simple and CLEAN. That's what matters the most. Definitely got much more than I expected.
