A small, nice hotel, about 7 min walk from a really great beach. Most of the staff is friendly and positive. The pool area is nice and large enough, but it closes at 18 (opens 8) and that's way too early when it's 30°c and above🥵 Our main problem was that we expected our stay to be "all inclusive", but it turns out that this term is used differently at Lantiana. What we had paid for was what we would call "full pension"; breakfast, lunch and dinner for 5 days. The food was over all satisfactory. With the meals only one drink was included: (no alcohol at breakfast) Soft drinks, water, or local wine/beer. The wine was regrettably awful ('best' option is the dry red) and the beer was...bearable. If we ordered wine to our meal we had to pay for a glass of water on the side, something we perceived as a bit stingy. At the time of our visit (July '23) the prices was high and our own currency weak (NOK), a 1l bottle of water at the supermarket cost about 1.40 €. A can of 0.5l beer cost 1.95€. With the (seriously) hot weather and no "all inclusive" this trip ended up costing us a lot more than expected, and regrettably we couldn't tip the staff each day as we normally would. We left all our remaining Euros with them when we left, but maybe this was the reason we didn't get the "famous greek hospitality" vibe we were hoping for? You will spend 80€ on AC per week if you have a two-room apartment by the way. A bit on the tall side since we only got one key card (we were 4 people) and therefore only used the AC at night when all of us were in the apartment. All in all we were happy with our stay, but will most probably try a different hotel next time.
