I was there with my mother, initially booked two rooms, but have been upgraded to interconnecting rooms with a living and ptrivate pool. It made our stay amazing and it was an unexpected nice surprise, thank you! Everything was perfect - extremely clean location, really appreciate the cleaning team who was very dilligent and thorough every day. Fruit baskets and wlecome bottle of wine, together with daily free bottle of water and complimentary coffee made our days carefree! We have not used the pool, excellent sandy beach, clean, you can find free sun lounges even later in the day (which may be a concern in other locations). Beach umbrellas could be taller though :-).Beach towels provided and can be changed on request. Very well organised breakfast facilities, available tables at all times (we appreciated the long breakfast up to 11 am) Location on a busy street full of lively tavernas and lot of boutiques, however the resort is very quiet at night (except for the sea waves - if you are near the sea - wonderful sound!) Overall an excellent experoence, hope to be back!

Also the little candy store with delicious ice cream was our go to place every day ;) It has a great location, just 30 mins from the airport and its nicely hidden so it feels private.

The hotel is well located with a nice beach front bar. Each room from the Adults only hotel had its own spot at the beach with a bottle of water courtesy from the hotel. Breakfast had a good variety of food and the option of having a brunch at Elia restaurant was very nice.

We stayed in a two-bedroom villa with a sea view, two couples, for the second time. The service at the hotel is perfect, the staff is courteous and responds to every request with a smile and kindness. The villa is well-equipped, clean and simply perfect. The location of the hotel is truly dreamy, located on the mountain, with a simply stunning view, and is close to all the main places. Highly recommend staying at this hotel. We will definitely be back♥️

The setting is stunning — nestled among the hills with panoramic views, the hotel offers both tranquility and easy access to everything you could wish for.

From the moment we arrived, everything was flawless. The hotel is a true haven of relaxation, with incredible attention to detail in every corner. You can really feel that everything has been thought through to make guests feel comfortable and at ease. It’s without doubt one of the best luxury hotels I have ever experienced; elegant, refined, and absolutely worth it. A special shout-out to Chrysa at reception, she was simply amazing! Friendly, professional, and genuinely caring, she made us feel so welcome and went above and beyond to ensure our stay was perfect. Her warm smile and helpfulness truly set the tone for the whole experience. If you’re looking for pure relaxation, top-notch service, and a place where every detail matters – this is the hotel to choose. Highly recommended!
