We stayed here 2weeks ago for a week ina junior suite with private pool. We arrived in the early hours of the morning due to flight delay. The staff were very helpful and golf buggied us to our room which was on the lowet level of the village. Beautiful clean room and pool. On going to breakfast the next morning we realised just how far and up many hills to the resturant. Def not for unfit or disabled persons. The food was disappointing. Same food every night except for one night then exactly the same. If you have young children def not recommended as not much there children would like to eat. There is also no entertainment which didnt bother us as not into. The hotel is very remote and the local beach very rocky. We did have a day in the town and the beach was delightful. This hotel has its ups and downs. Beautiful scenery gorgeous sunsets lovely pool areas on the downside the food and the very steep walk to the resturant. Would maybe go back. Resturant staff lovely and lovely relaxed atmosphere.

Enjoyed a lovely few days here as a couple. Pros: The highlight of our stay was the lovely Despina who is so warm, friendly and helpful. We loved chatting with her and if you visit you must try her lovely Greek and Iced coffees, they are the best!! - well worth the €2. The food was great, plenty of options and all delicious; although I can imagine it getting slightly repetitive after more than a few days. As others have said, food is not always super hot but as the temperature is so warm we did not mind this. Drinks were also lovely, cocktails, beer and wine throughout the day. Yes they are from a tap/premixed but we had no issues with the quality. They were plenty strong enough for us, but you can always get two at a time if not! Being able to book cleaning online was helpful for us, and meant we could schedule it around our plans. Rooms were clean and spacious and the aircon was amazing, super efficient and we slept very comfortably! Showers were high pressure with lots of hot water and the balcony was gorgeous. The resort itself is beautiful and has stunning views, it really does feel like a village and is very peaceful with seemingly endless areas to sit and explore. Pools were clean and a lovely cooling (not cold!) temperature. There was no fight for sun beds - however sometimes we were unable to find sun-beds in the shade during the day. Cons: Some bar/reception staff were not as friendly as you would expect from a 5* resort, we understand everyone has off days but these interactions left us feeling quite uncomfortable which did affect the quality of our stay. Reception staff seemed at times overwhelmed and without capacity to actually help guests in the way they otherwise would. Things to consider: There are cats everywhere - we LOVE cats so this was not an issue. Most were very friendly and cuddly. For the most part if you ignore them they will ignore you, but they are around the dining areas in search of food so if you are not keen then this is something to consider! The resort is spread across hills which was fine for us, but something to consider if you have accessibility/mobility needs. Short opening times on some of the cafes/bars/pools, also no all inclusive after 11. If you want mad nights out and late entertainment this is not the place for you! A lot of things require additional charge that must be paid in cash. It’s worth getting cash before coming so you avoid airport exchange rates! —— Overall a lovely relaxing stay only affected by some slightly negative interactions with staff. Would definitely consider coming here again.

“Good but not 5*”

The location of this hotel is quite poor, so if you enjoy going out to local taverns and bars, this place is definitely not for you as there is absolutely nothing around. It is only okay if you plan to stay within the resort the entire time. The beach, which in my opinion is rather poor, is either a 40-minute walk away or requires a bus ride, with buses running every 30 minutes. On the bright side, the pool area and the surroundings are great. There is plenty of space, and the five pools are more than enough. Additionally, the sunset view from the top of the property is absolutely amazing. ​My room was definitely not up to a 5-star standard, and I would rate it a maximum of 3 stars. The photos shown in the official offer most likely feature only the deluxe rooms with private pools. In reality, everything in the standard room felt very average, and there was a constant bad smell in the toilet. The only excellent thing about the room was the bed, which was very comfortable. The overall atmosphere was decent, typical for an all-inclusive resort, but there was not much to do. There were no animators and very few events, with only two small parties that lasted about 2 to 3 hours each. ​The staff was very good, but special kudos go to Kostas the bartender. He was incredible and went above and beyond to keep the guests entertained and happy. The food was good, though not phenomenal, but all in all, you could almost always find something tasty to eat. There was a lot of British-style food on offer, probably because about 80% of the guests were British. I paid 2000 PLN on a last-minute deal, which was a good value for that price. However, for the regular price of 3500–4500 PLN, it is definitely not worth it, and I would not recommend it at that price point.

Not a very good location for walking distance, there is a shuttle to the beach which is free. All food in the restaurant is the same everyday and breakfast, spaghetti bolognaise, fish and potato’s. All staff are very good, we enjoyed the bar with the staff all very friendly, shoutout to Theo he made us feel welcome and always had a laugh. We would unfortunately not go back due to food and location but the hotel itself is beautiful. Rooms are beautiful and very spacious.
