This was mine and my partners first luxury holiday and it was a very pleasant experience. We were greeted on arrival and given a small drink. The tourist tax is €15 a night, once the papers was signed we were escorted on a golf buggy to our room. They had filled the fridge with drinks and food as we arrived at midnight and they knew everywhere was shut which was a really nice touch. We had a room with a private pool which was lovely just unfortunate how cold the water was , it was actually that cold we didn’t use the pool at all. Another thing I would say which is not the hotels fault and perhaps based on the time of the year, the sun would come and go from our balcony by 12pm so by mid day we would have to use the main pool for some sun. The resort is based on a hill so be prepared to get some steps in. We were only half board which included breakfast and dinner, there is an option, the day before, to swap your dinner for lunch which we did a few times. The food is basic but nice, the deserts were especially good. The main pool area was quiet and relaxing. The staff were pleasant, a couple of random things did go missing from our room which I would hate to point fingers about but I didn’t find these items when I unpacked back at home. The resort is clean and very appealing and I would return.
I had an amazing massage twice with Aggeliki- Appologies if I spelt your name wrong! It was amazing and she was very professional! Thank you so much! Highly recommend this spa
Nadya carried out my massage today. Massage was lovely and very relaxing as i hoped. Very proffesional. Would definitely return.
I had a great experience. Got lucky to know Nadya the lady from the spa. She is beautifull from inside and outside. Thank you so much
A beautiful hotel Everything was great Reception Staff polite Room, very clean and attended to daily Bar staff, polite and friendly although I preferred the daily bar staff rather then the evening guys Maids polite and amenable Restaurant was good prawns,mussels,lamb,pork,steak and lots of traditional cuisine… I’m not much for desserts but these were fantastic
My only opinion is that it could do with an indoor bar. Weather wasn’t great for a few days and there wasn’t much shelter from the rain despite they’re good attempts
I would recommend this hotel
