"Had a fantastic stay at Psaras. This was our 2nd time & equally enjoyable. Comfy beds, constant hot water, great position for restaurants, bars etc & maid service regularly.
The only thing to mention is on our previous visit we could use the pool at the hotel in front. We were told we couldn’t do that any more as it’s an all inclusive hotel & it’s not free to use the pool/beds like it was 4 yrs ago. Otherwise all good "

"The main restaurant buffet had so many choices – Greek, Mediterranean, and even international options. Every meal was a treat, and the quality of the food was consistent throughout our stay."

"We had wonderful time lodging in the junior suite overlooking the pool area and Aegean. The staff was very attentive and the food was good here too. The beach itself is a bit rocky but easily overcome. The area has many restaurants including one that is part of the family ownership: it was excellent."

"Very much enjoyed staying at this property. The location was perfect, right on the beach. The food was yummy and the staff was friendly and helpful. Would definitely stay here again. Thanks for everything!"

"The propery is located next to the port but the views are only for one of the 4 sides of the building. This is one of the oldest hotels in the area and definately not a 5 star . Hallways are dark to hide the worn off carpet. Rooms are minimalistic. We had an issue with climate contol since they are using central heat and the temperature was too high in the room and could not be lowered. If you opened the windows all you heard was the ferry loudspeakers or the stray dogs barking in the vacant lots adjacent to the hotel. When we complained they delivered a fan to the room which is something i would expect from a cheap hostel . We decided to leave 2 hours in our stay and they would not reimburse the stay ( no A/C is a problem ). They offered a higher floor but still not good because heat rises and the neighborhood is still noisy . Feels more like a cheap 3 star definately not 5. "
"Great location. Clean. Friendly and helpful staff. If you're driving, parking is bit of an issue. There is a public parking lot close by for 12 euro a day with in and out privileges for those staying at the hotel. The complimentary breakfast buffet is worth staying here alone!!"
"Well, most of the clerks were great! One of them, Georgia, has perfected herself. I thought it would be best to encourage guests to make an audio recording for each interaction. If you doubt that you behaved perfectly with her, you can play it and review it If you are imperfect, like myself, it can be a source of frustration.She let's people know if they made a mistake, with her eye contact and tone of voice."
"Overall check in time was very late. Not many guests so not sure why it took so long. Mold smell in room, back door to pool didn’t work well, and a ton of fruit flies in the dining area. Overall cleanliness near the food area wasn’t great. Just an ok experience. "
"Stella Blue
We have been searching as a couple for a resort that we can come back to year after year; we have decided that Stella Blue is the one. We don’t say that lightly- we travel a lot and do have high expectations.
We came to Stella Blue straight from the Mitsis Rinela, which is a 5*, and were slightly worried that we’d feel we downgraded. We needn’t have worried- it surpassed the Mitsis in every regard other than number of a la carte restaurants.
Check in:
Check in was 5* quality- the reception team should be applauded- from those at the desk to those rushing out upon arrival to take our bags and the man driving us to our room. It was seamless and better than reception at most 5*s we have stayed in. The reception and concierge team are incredible! Everyone was exceptionally welcoming and seemed excited to have you there- we don’t often feel that. It honestly was the best welcome we’ve ever had- thank you!
We also really liked the welcome drink- I believe it was non- alcoholic, and honestly that was the only thing I would change (add alcohol!), but we still loved it.
"
"Let’s start with the many positives of this experience:
- location is excellent, a few steps from the beach and with bars and shops on your doorstep
- rooms are very big and have a balcony, good air-conditioning and a safe
- beds are long
- shower pressure is excellent, the olive oil toiletries too
- everything feels very clean and tidy
- the pool area has many sun-beds
- staff is polite and friendly and there is an app to request the time your room is made up
- breakfast and dinner buffet offer good variety, were different every night and included meat fish vegetables and local specialities. Items are constantly replenished and overall I think meals are excellent value
- overall, it’s a very good experience.
The following would require improvement, small adjustments would allow to step up from good to excellent:
- when you book a double, as a couple, you expect a double bed or at least not to have single sheets and single mattress toppers, that leave a gap between you and your partner during the night. We basically slept in separate twin beds for a week. The bed itself is ok but I didn’t enjoy the twin bed set-up or find it relaxing when on holiday with my partner!
- bathroom towels are small and rather thin
- the hotel’s beach has no sun-beds (but the nearby beach does at 7 euros a day)
- no private parking…we had no issues street parking in October but I wonder how busy this may get in peak season
- the coffee from the machine at breakfast could be better.
