Comfortable Seaside Bungalows

I absolutely loved my stay in the Bungalow with Sea View! The size and furnishings made it incredibly comfortable, making me feel right at home. The view of the ocean was just amazing, and waking up to that every morning was a dream come true.

Breakfast Paradise

The breakfast at Helios was amazing! There were so many fresh options and the portion sizes were generous. It was a great way to start each day, and being served the breakfast at my preferred time was a luxurious touch.

Tranquil Pool Experience

I had a fantastic time lounging by the pool. It was spacious and deep, perfect for a refreshing dip. The sunbeds offered cozy shade, and it was so relaxing to spend the day reading a book by the water.

Luxurious Sleep Experience

The bed in my room was one of the largest I’ve ever slept in, measuring over two meters! It was incredibly comfortable, making it easy to unwind and enjoy a restful night’s sleep after a day at the beach.
