I just came from Spain and took my parents for 1 week vacation to the sea side in Greece. We had really mixed feelings, I'll try to split them in positive and negative:

Positive:
1. The hotel is really isolated, with its own beach, surrounded with pine forrest - great for people who like to disconnect and enjoy the nature.
2. The beach is less than 100 m from the hotel rooms, and it is free of charge for the hotel guests.
3. The sea water is clean and calm. Perfect for families with small kids.
4. The beds were good.

(warning: we are not picky, but when you pay for something that claims to be a 4 or 5 stars, then your expectations raise)

Negatives:
1. The personnel is not as polite as it should be. Especially the reception, they were not kind at all, I would say the lack of empathy made them look even rude.
2. The internet is free only 1 hour per day (but it turned out that their mechanism for regulating it didn't work well, so we didn't have internet most of the days, well we had, but had to pay to use it - which is free in every other hotel in the 21st century)
3. We paid for a 4 star hotel, but for the taxes at the hotel's reception we were charged for a 5 star hotel (just a couple of euros more, but that raised our expectations)
4. We had breakfast and dinner only, but they were close to terrible. The food was only edible, no more comments. We expected more. Also, there was almost nothing from traditional greek cuisine.
5. Plenty of food, and varieties, but nothing really tasty.
6. The juices were pure colored sugar.
7. The beach was not really clean, especially because of all the left overs from the all-inclusive guests (spilled coffee, juices, cocktails and whatnot made the beach full with wasps and insects)
8. No place to wash your feet before going to your room. The only shower was inside the beach, so on your way to the room your feet get all sandy again.
9. We were on the ground floor with a sea view and the room were fine, but they had an awful smell of moisture, like the old wardrobe of my grandma.
10. Not really negative thing, but just to share: the room safe could not fit even a small 13" laptop, and the door doesn't look safe since it is most of glass, but the whole place looked safe and tranquil.
11. The room had only one charging outlet, so we had to fight for it :D
