Dear Mr Barney,

Responding to the above critic, I would like to point out that these comments have nothing to do with the reality and the purpose of these comments is to discredit our hotel.
First of all we didn't have any information about the «problems» you have mentioned in order to cope with them and to improve your holidays during your accommodation in our hotel.
As you may have seen, your comments are in conflict towards the comments at tripadvisor of the other guests who stayed at our hotel.
Furthermore I am willing to answer to every point of your negative critic.
· You mentioned that «our hotel is marketed as a "beach club" but it is really a sailing school attached to a basic hotel on a public beach with very limited space and facilities».
a) I would like to mention that your reservation in our hotel was made through Seafarer Tour Operator. Those who make reservations through this tour operator, they are doing it with the purpose to learn sailing and do sailing.
b) All beaches in Hellas are public.
c) The length of beach that begins from the hotel is approximately 300 meters with plenty of space, a lot of sun beds and a beach bar.
· At your critic you mentioned that «There was only one day in the week when there was wind in the morning and there were some days where there was virtually no wind in the afternoon.»
By saying this, you are implying that you stayed at our hotel for a week while this is not the case.You stayed at our hotel just one night. (I would appreciate if tripadvisor could check and confirm the real duration of residence of our guest).
· Regarding your comments about the room you stayed I have admit that you are the first customer who sees so many problems gathered in the room. Never before did we have such a bad critic.
· In response to your complaints about the breakfast, we are always trying to provide satisfactory variety of goods of high quality at low prices.
· About the benefits of our beach I have answered above.
· You mentioned that there is no area around the pool. However, this is contradictory in comparison to the pictures on our website.
· With respect to the subject of Shadow, at Nikiana Beach there are approximately 20 trees where the guest can enjoy it. Finally, we would like to reconsider whether we were asked by you regarding the matter of the shadow and we gave you the answer you have described
Criticism is always welcome, just as long as it isn't biased.

Best regards

The manager of the hotel.
