Loved most

  • Beautiful waterfront location and clean, crystal-clear beach
  • Very friendly, attentive and welcoming staff
  • Extremely clean and well-maintained property
  • High-quality, tasty and varied food; standout restaurants
  • Excellent amenities: stunning pool, gym, tennis, water sports, yoga
  • Stylish, peaceful resort atmosphere — relaxing and restorative

Worth knowing — Some rooms have mattresses that are too soft (sleep comfort issue) · No window/door screens reported — mosquito concern · Not adults-only — some guests would prefer an adults-only property · A few comments about limited variety of food options · Nearby town (Agios Nikolaos) described by one guest as lacking charm · Minor room amenity: absence of ceiling fan noted by one guest

    “The general ambience of the resort was peaceful and relaxed even with it being late August which must be peak time. The pool area was amazing, the pool was the perfect temperature and the sun beds were extremely comfortable. The sun beds around the sea front were in the perfect position with stepped access into the gorgeous sea.”
