Villa Valvis

I liked the location. Villa Valvis was located next to the best beach on the island, in my opinon. It was within walking distance to the beach, to a delicious and cheap 24-hour bakery, two markets, and numerous beach- front restaurants (of which we highly recommend Ntomatina). I liked the swimming pool, and the style of the building. I liked the hotel-manager who was always there and answered all of our questions. It was a great price, too! We were able to see the rest of the island via a rented atv for only 7 Euros a day. It was nice that the hotel had wifi, but it only worked out by the pool, not in the rooms.

The bathroom had an odor problem - I think because of the drainage. It wasn't unbearable, but the room always smelled a bit bad because of it. The air conditioning was in a bad location, blowing over the bed as we were sleeping...so we were either too cold, in which case we'd turn it off, and then we'd wake up from being too hot, and have to turn it on again. (better than no Air Conditioning, though!). There was no telephone in the room. Also, we left our camera on the bed one morning, and discovered it missing after the maid had cleaned the room. We searched around, and asked the manager for help, and found the camera in the pile of sheets ready to be washed - it would have been ruined had we not noticed in time!
