The hotel offers spacious and clean rooms, though lacking soundproofing. The lighting around the pools adds to the decor, making it one of the nicest rooms I have ever stayed in. Service was extremely friendly and accommodating, especially the catering manager who ensured a special night for us. The location, while isolated, is truly stunning. The dining experience was very good overall, with plenty of choices, but lacking in unique Greek options. Facilities are modern and well-maintained. A luxury experience worth the price.

The hotel has some drawbacks such as poor soundproofing in the rooms and being a bit far from the main attractions, but it offers a joint pool shared with three other rooms which can get noisy. On the positive side, the service is excellent with attentive staff, especially Kostas, and wonderful ladies like Evmorfia, Sofia, Christina, and Konstantina making the stay memorable.

I couldn't believe how beautiful and clean the rooms were! Having direct access to the pool was a pleasant surprise, even though I didn't think I would use it much since I love soaking in the hotel's atmosphere. However, the room felt a bit small overall.

I stayed in the new expanded part of the resort and found it comfortable and relaxed, even though the view wasn't as nice as expected and lacked sun for sunbathing. The staff were extremely friendly and went out of their way to take care of us, making the service super friendly and nice. The location was a bit out of the way, with not much around, but it was designed to integrate well with the rooms. The dining experience was plentiful and great, offering a variety of options, although there was no special Greek food available.
