Hotel Jali

What we loved about the place were 2 things: its location and the fact that it was family owned. The location is perfect to tour the area and permits you to enjoy some amazing swims early in the morning. The beach is great and there are 2 more at walking distance. As the hotel has a taverna connected to it, and all is family managed, after the first day we had the sensation of being hosted in a big family house. Staff is friendly and work many hours and could further improve their service level through some minimum training. Some details in the rooms and in the laundry can be improved but it is important to consider the location and limits in terms of supplies and resources. I would certainly go back and recommend it for even up to 4-5 days.

If you, like me, were drawn in by the main image of beanbags on the beach, don’t be. Whilst this is a bar owned by the hotel, you don’t get access unless you buy drinks at the bar. As a mother with two young kids, this didn’t happen and we didn’t end up eating breakfast lounging on the beanbags with a view of the sea as I envisaged, but rather in the, not quite so fun, basic restaurant area behind the bar. Breakfast wasn’t great either. The room was basic but clean and quite spacious and the hotel is right next to the beach. Unlike with other beachside hotels we stayed in, loungers were not included in the price but were extra (€10/day). We ended up leaving a day early and didn’t receive a refund for that night (which would have been a nice gesture but to be fair, was not part of the cancellation agreement).

The rooms are very comfortable, and are cleaned every day. The breakfast was amazing. Petulla, creeps, eggs, jogurt, honey, butter, jams, cereals, fruits, juices, all you can eat. The sea is very near and in the beach bar was very quiet, no loud music. All worth it, amazing vacations.
