Guest reviews
Exceptional
Liked: The place was great, staff was superp and the accomdation was really to the highest standard. We will comeback again. Highly recomended.
Disliked: Nothing all are in high standard
Disliked: We stayed in deluxe room (we were family 2 adults and 2 kids): the layout was extremely impractical. The toilet had a transparent door, offering almost no privacy, and there was barely any space to get dressed. Literally, you had to get dressed inside the toilet or in the shower. the jacuzzi was not heated well, the temperature was around 26°C. This limitation was not mentioned anywhere in the room description or booking information, which was very disappointing. The room also had a bathtub positioned right in the middle of the room, which was unusual and impractical…
They were very nice but false advertising that pools are heated
Liked: Very nice and welcoming staff, clean and well organized
Disliked: They advertise the property as - “heated pools” and hot tubs, however the water was super cold and wasn’t possible to get into neither the pool nor the “hot tub”
Liked: Looks really nice, staff are incredibly nice and helpful and location wise it’s really good easy access to the town and to Hersonissos. Convenience all round
Disliked: Had issues with the shower being cold on a few days but was manageable

Liked: Everything
Disliked: Nothing
Relaxing stay
Liked: We particularly enjoyed the breakfast (especially the pancakes!) and the private pool in our room. The staff were also lovely, especially the cleaning staff. The room comes with bathrobes and slippers. Towels and sheets were changed every day, which we really liked. The room was quiet - nothing coming through from the other rooms.
Disliked: We don’t think the hotel represents an actual 5 stars facility. The buffet surely has room for improvement, with better quality of food and options. In our room, the mini fridge was very loud all day and night long, which kept us up at night. The finishes of the room and the bathroom were not those of a 5 stars hotel. There isn’t much around the facility, with mostly only a small supermarket with few and expensive items.
