The Facts about The Oceanis
I have been to the Oceanis Rooms so many times that I have lost count, only one person has been there more than me and that is my wife, so I feel I am in a position to give a good insight as to what you can expect there.
The rooms are clean and all have an ocean view. The views are stunning. The food is excellent. The hospitality is the best you could wish for. The pool area is a total sun trap with a good amount of sun beds.
The rooms are good Greek holiday accommodation. There are 3 different types of rooms ranging from studios to 2 bedroom apartments all with good size balconies overlooking the sea. All rooms have excellent air conditioning units which are free to use. The studio rooms are large with a good amount of wardrobe space. The kitchen area has a 3 ring hob with oven, a fridge, sink and cupboard for dishes. The bathroom is a wet room, which means the floor gets wet as it is meant to. I have seen some reviews criticising this, but this is normal for Greece. The other rooms have separate bedrooms with a good size living dining area. Some rooms have a bathroom with a bath and a shower. All rooms are cleaned daily to a high standard. Bed linen and towels are changed on a regular basis.
The views are outstanding both day and night, especially if you are lucky enough to be there when there is a full moon. The only drawback about the location is that The Oceanis is situated between Barbati and Nissaki on a winding road. If you want a quiet relaxing time this is not a problem but if you want to go elsewhere then a car is a necessity. There is a good bus service with a bus stop close to the rooms.
The pool area and restaurant are situated down stairs from the rooms on top of the cliff. The pool is cleaned daily. There are sun beds with umbrellas and also some tables and chairs with umbrellas in case you have had enough sun. There is always at least one member of staff there to look after you.
The restaurants chef, Dimitri, serves the best Greek food I have ever tasted. Everything from a salad to his Kalimari or Pastistada are all made with fresh ingredients.
The real success of the Oceanis is without a doubt, Nikos, his sister Illianna, Dimitri and the rest of the staff. NicosÂ’ main aim is to do everything he can to make sure you have a great holiday. If you want to hire a car Nikos will arrange it for you at a reduced price. The car company he uses is more expensive than some companies but they give you real full insurance whereas other companies will tell you they do, but if you have an accident you will soon find out that your excess may be as high as 1000 Euros. If you want to hire a boat for a day, he will arrange this, again at a reduced price. If you want to take a trip ask Nikos the best people to go to.
If you want a relaxing holiday, or a base for sightseeing, in good accommodation with stunning views, great food and a great host then I highly recommend The Oceanis Rooms.
