My partner and I had a wonderful time in the grand suite. The jacuzzi on the balcony was amazing for the sunrise. We were lucky to have Rita and Tatiana to help us and they were both more than helpful in any advice or helping with requirements for what we needed. Would definitely stay there again. Regards Dan

Our experience (girls' trip) was amazing. Tatiana was super helpful with everything, especially arrange transportation to various places and on point text communication. She is a gem. The outdoor space is breathtaking. Disliked the frosted glass bathroom door that lit up the room when someone gets up in the middle of the night, but other than that, our stay was perfect.

I have never been to Greece before and my experience at this hotel would make me go back in a heartbeat! Safe, super friendly and a fantastic place to relax and rewind. I got free cake on my first morning whilst chilling at the pool with a coffee. The pool is small but is very reasonably sized. There are sunbeds and a great bar/breakfast cafe and you are in very easy walking distance to the beach with an overwhelming amount of restaurants. Great for families and for those who want a small kitchen space as well! We had a room looking out to the pool and could use the kitchen for breakfasts and lunches. Can’t wait to go back:)

Close to the shops and restaurants and the ocean. But quiet enough area. Our room had a load gurgling sound which we figured came from a downstairs water feature. Maintenance was able to turn it off at night but we had to remind them every night. Tatiana was terrific, very helpful and friendly. The night person was okay but we had to remind them of things and didn’t have the warmth of the daytime folks. The AC didn’t reach the 2nd bedroom so we had to keep the door open all night between the two. Didn’t have some amenities like a microwave

We enjoyed our stay here! We had a lovely triple room with a balcony which was lovely to sit on under the flowers. The bed was incredibly comfortable also. The only thing that wasn’t great was the bathroom as the shower would flood and had no curtain on it. The bathroom would get quite soggy! The pool bar and pool are also lovely, though there was a massive group staying for a wedding during our stay which would take over most of the chairs and carry on a bit during the day. This was a bit off putting, though our kids still had fun in the pool. Not the hotel’s fault though! The breakfast at the pool bar is great value, though note that he only takes cash. Otherwise, an enjoyable stay in a great part of the island within very easy walking distance to many restaurants.
