Staying at the Rex is like staying at your favorite relative's home; in fact the hotel was started by the owner's mother, whose picture is on the reception desk. If you are fortunate enough to meet the owner you'll get a huge bonus from your visit. But if she's not there, the huge rooms and huge, well--prepared breakfasts are reason enough to visit. Our party was upgraded to superior rooms, so I do not not know what the standard rooms are like, but all of our superior rooms were really spacious and airy and very comfortable. Hotel breakfast are a big thing in Greece, but after three weeks there, the hands-down winner for us was the Rex. A huge spread of fresh-made pies, cakes, breads, local cheeses, jams, meats, yogurts, eggs, cereals, puddings, featuring local and traditional recipes, greeted us both mornings we were there. The only problem: we wanted to try everything, which even with the greatest resolve we just couldn't do. If you have a reason to go to Zacharo-- it's a beach town, not far from Olympia-- do not miss the Rex!
