Happy Days Hotel 

We stayed here for 4x nights mid Oct. The photos of the reception/bar/lobby area on TA don’t do the hotel justice, it’s really tastefully done and is now adults only so no kids play area. They are a small team of staff, all very helpful, buffet style breakfast was excellent, lots of choice, bar prices reasonable for a hotel. I emailed the day before arrival to request a kettle in the room, it was there when we arrived, we just had to take cups from the breakfast area. Pool is huge, up to 2.4m deep so in Oct was very cold, it took me ages to warm up after a 10min swim. Lots of clean sunbeds, tables/chairs, lovely tree shaded decked area with bean bags, toilets, shower & change area by the pool and beautiful established trees all around the site. We opted for a standard room, we paid £26 (for 4 nights) on Jet 2 to upgrade to a pool view, we could have paid an extra £26 for a superior room (worth doing as it’s €40/night if you do it at reception). The standard room was basic, a bit old fashioned especially the bathroom but it was clean (maids came in every day), absolutely loads of storage, very comfy bed, powerful hot shower, small criticism not enough plug sockets (none by the bed), no phone/wifi service in the room, but fine by the pool & in the hotel bar. George kindly showed us the superior rooms on the 2nd, 3rd floors, really nice and we would upgrade next time, be aware not all the bathroom ‘glass walls’ in the superior rooms have a frosted privacy panel – worth emailing the hotel before arrival if that’s an issue. Hotel is in a good location, 5min drive from airport (Jet 2 transfer was via Mercedes mini bus), 3 min walk to the pebbly beach, very windy & rough sea, a kite surfer paradise. Excellent café bar next door, Billy’s Place, great food, prices, staff. Best supermarket was opposite Doreta Hotel 2-3 min walk away. 20-25 min walk to the pretty, authentic Greek village, advise not to visit when very hot, it’s very steep. I think this hotel could be a 4* if the standard rooms were modernised. I would stay here again.
