the Patra is quite a distance from any other places to eat. with 2 little ones I wouldn't imagine that you'd want to be walking too far. If you are up for a walk then you could walk along the beach path from the patra towards centro. If you are catching taxis all the time, although it is cheap it will add up.
I personally think that the patra is too expensive to have most of your meals and drinks there.
we stayed there last year and have had two groups of friends stay there this year at separate times. although they liked the hotel they all said that they found it too far away (as I did). they all had children aged between 1 and 7.
