We never met Maria, but the staff at the hotel were lovely! The room was spacious and comfortable, though the neighbours were not very quiet and the proximity to the pool added to the noise. The window does not offer much of a view, however the sea can be seen from the shared patio. The stay overall was good, though I wish I had known that the bus to this part of the island stops running at 9pm, versus much later for other parts (such as in the Parissa area) as we did not have a vehicle for our stay.
