I recently had a fantastic week at Amphoras Aqua and found it to be an enjoyable stay overall. The hotel grounds were clean and well-maintained, with two lovely pools to choose from and plenty of sunbeds available. However, my family had some concerns about the food options, which seemed to cater more to Eastern European tastes, leaving some of us craving more familiar meals.
