Sushi Delight

The sushi restaurant on the beach was a highlight of my trip in November 2024. Each dish was crafted with the freshest ingredients, and dining with the sound of the waves added a magical touch to the experience.

Amazing Views

In February 2024, my room had panoramic views over the sea, which made waking up each morning a beautiful experience. The design of the room allowed for those stunning sights to be enjoyed from every angle.

I had a nice stay at the hotel, enjoying a clean and large room that offered decent comfort. The service from the staff was attentive and friendly, but the location was a bit tricky since it’s up on a hill. Dining options were fine, but could use some improvement.

The hotel offered a luxurious stay with marble rooms and stunning views, though the service from some staff could use improvement.

I had a relaxing getaway at this hotel, thanks to its stunning location overlooking the Gulf of Kolothiko. The rooms are clean and well-furnished, with a nice touch of having private pools. The staff was friendly but there were moments where better training could enhance the experience. The dining was a hit or miss, with some chaos in the breakfast area. Overall, a beautiful spot with excellent potential, but some attention is needed in service and dining organization.

I recently stayed at this hotel and while it had some nice features, there were definitely areas that need improvement. The rooms had some noticeable water damage, but the staff were attentive and went the extra mile to ensure my stay was pleasant. The location was a bit far from the main attractions, which wasn’t ideal. Overall, it’s a mixed experience with both good and bad aspects.

Rooms

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The location was a bit underwhelming and overpriced, but the amenities were top-notch, including luxury transport options.
