“In Kato Gouves, this is a modern hotel that impressed me as a great place for families, with recreational facilities for children and adults. The all-inclusive package is generous, and I think the Sensus Experience rooms, although not necessarily quiet, will appeal to some. I think it's a solid choice for a relaxed vacation.”
