All rooms are en-suite with a shower and are equipped with A/C, TV, central heating, hairdryer, safety deposit box, mini-fridge and their own balcony or roofless veranda at the top floor. Rooms were completely refurbished with new bathrooms and furniture between 2006 and 2008. All the common areas of the Hotel were also renovated in the last two years. In the ground floor you will find the Reception, Internet Corner, a TV Room with a big screen and the Main Hall. At the far end of the Main Hall there is a Bar which also serves the breezy, atmospheric Veranda with the lovely garden view.
The garden is laid out in casual Mediterranean style with a lot of indigenous plants and birds and it leads straight to a beach with tranquil waters, safe and fun for every age. A big Roman style fountain is the first thing you meet when you walk out of the sea side door, while a number of reproductions of ancient Greek statues are placed in various spots in the garden for you to discover. Our fresh water swimming pool and the little children’s pool is surrounded by fully grown trees and it feels like an oasis in the summer heat. Around the pool and on the beach front you can find sun beds and umbrellas, while other garden facilities include a children’s playground and a shady, outdoor breakfast terrace, a BBQ area and a ping pong table.
Although the hotel does not have a restaurant as such, there is a snack bar open from 10:00 to 24:00 hours, which serves made to order snacks, fresh juices, coffee, drinks, and ice cream. Room service is available during the same times. Complimentary buffet breakfast is served between 07:00 and 10:00 in the hotel main hall and the veranda.
Dogs are welcome in Hotel Summery (upon request and provided they are supervised at all times). Dining out with a dog on a leash is acceptable in most outdoor restaurants as well as in bars and coffee places. There are no specified dog beaches or dog parks in the area, but pets are tolerated almost anywhere, except food stores, busy public beaches in high season and museums.
