Just back from a lovely weeks stay at Tigaki's Star. What a little gem of a place!! We were dubious reading some of the reviews. However, we're really pleasantly surprised. Yes, the rooms are a little dated and the breakfast is repetitive. But the hotel itself was absolutely pristinely clean, the grounds were immaculate and the pool was well maintained. The snack bar was fantastic value for money and had a wide range of food and drinks available. My personal favourites were the latte, banana milkshake and the frozen daiquiri in rotation 😋 the hotel is only a short walk away from town and to the many beaches available. Our favourite beach was without a doubt Happy Flamingo beach which we didn't even know was there the first 2 days 😂 as you come out the hotel, veer left, past the little church and follow the path round. You should come to signs for Flamingo beach (you won't be disappointed) had the best views of the sunset and we were swimming until 10pm most nights! Overall the hotel was a hit with us and we would absolutely come and stay again - don't let the negative reviews sway you too much, check for yourself.

Lovely hotel, relaxing atmosphere, comfortable rooms and beautiful grounds.
Great pool. A few minutes walk to the beach, which is also very nice.
Close to the busy tourist centre of Tigaki but calm and quiet.
Most important - the helpful and friendly staff made our short stay a real vacation!

The hotel is in a very nice location, on a quiet edge of the city tigaki, but only 5 min of walking to the strip. It’s right next to the salt lake and also close to the beach.
The service was really excellent and the pool was great.
The rooms were good, but the smell wasn’t too nice after cleaning especially.
The breakfast was nice with some local goods and the poolbar was also good. The atmosphere was fitting for family’s and also couples and it over all the hotel had a really nice traditional Greek charm.
I would highly recommend this place for anyone who wants a typical greek experience with a good location and a reasonable price!

Excellent 2 week stay in September 23. Reception staff very pleasant and helpful. Pool and pool bar great. Food was very good. Lady behind bar was very nice. Had an issue with the air con, they tried to fix it but couldn't so swapped our room. Breakfast was decent, not sure what some people expect.
We were in main block and had a lovely pool/mountain view as well as salt lake. Shower was over the bath and quite tight, but it was manageable.
Great location, nice and quiet but near everything. No complaints at all

Wi-Fi in the rooms is not available. If you need to connect or make a call you have to go outside of your room closer to reception. But this was not the worst part. The worst part was how the personnel treated me when I told them about the problem. One of the managers told me:
- that Wi-Fi was absent on the island, not only in my room (not true, because at reception it worked perfectly at any time)
- that they do not have to provide Wi-Fi to the guests and that the guests should be happy that the hotel does it free of charge, because they could have charged the guests for Wi-Fi additionally
- I asked to check my cancellation conditions but she told me to feel free to go to another hotel and that they will not refund anything although it was just my arrival day and she could have checked the options for early cancellation.
This woman was just bullying me and obviously enjoying the process. The other two staff members on reception were hiding their eyes from embarrassment while listening to her. This situation ruined my impression from the hotel and unfortunately from the country in general (this was my first time in Greece, my first impression). It was such a contrast to the way I was treated in Turkiye in the hotels/restaurants just a couple of days before. I can't believe that such a rude treatment and unprofessionalism is allowed in the service sector.
