Heleni Beach Hotel

I thought Mina and her staff did a terrific job offering suggestions for my trip and providing guidance. I recall more than one staff member discussing my question, talking to each other about the best option and really giving me good advice. They were always available to answer any questions guests had. If you want to be close to beaches and public transportation to where the action is while not spending a fortune, this is a good option. I didn't need the air conditioning or additional perks/drinks, so you really don't have to spend extra if you don't want to do so. The area was safe and easy to walk around.

I would suggest the hotel replace its "go-to" taxi driver/taxi company. The airport is very close to the airport (main reason why I booked,) and the driver quoted me at "either 9 or 10 euros." We pull up to the airport. I hand him 10 euros. He then replied: "No, I said 19 euros." Nice trick. He probably needed it more than me, and I didn't want to start a fight, so I just paid. I asked about a shuttle ahead of time (both coming and going,) but the hotel said it couldn't provide this, so booking.com might want to correct the mistake that it offers a shuttle service. This was the only hotel during my stay that didn't have my room ready on time, and I was "offered" a chance to stay at the pool and wait, but it seemed like a marketing ploy just to get me to order drinks from its bar. The management here does seem to find ways to get more money out of you, but no one is forcing you to do anything.
