A week visit with family of 5, all we can say is thankyou for an amazing relaxing break away. We will certainly be returning next year. The hotel is located in stunning scenery with a beautiful beach a short stroll away. The atmosphere is relaxed, slow and quiet which is just what we like. The minimal amount of rooms mean that there is requirement for the usual sun bed rush at any time. The room we stayed in was nice and clean on arrival with a stocked fridge of water, soft drinks and beer. The bathroom was slightly dated and the shower wasnt great but it did the job. Entertainment is traditional dancing and live music, not too loud, not over the top and just right for us. Aqua gym and Aqua Zumba was a particular hit with my wife and kids as well as the water park of course! The beach is well kept and clean with plenty of loungers, plus food and drink. A very nice touch was the fresh pool and beach towels that you used daily around the facility. Our only issue was people not putting their towels away once they had finished which caused some confusion with what loungers had been taken and what hadn't. If the staff could stay on top of this it would be great. A very picky draw back but there had to be something! A lovely selection of meats, pasta, rice and salads all greek style which also helped the children try new types of food and added to the cultural experience. The staff cater for every wish that we had and we're always happy to help. See you next year!

We recently stayed at this hotel as a family of seven and truly appreciated the beautiful setting. The resort has a lovely, chic aesthetic and maintains a calm, relaxing vibe that we really enjoyed. The pool areas were a highlight for our group, offering plenty of variety for everyone. We also loved the tranquil pebble beach and the convenience of the small beach bar serving hot dogs. A special mention must go to the Ananas bar—it was our favorite spot, as the music was fantastic and the cocktails were consistently excellent. We found the drink quality elsewhere to be a bit hit-or-miss, so we tended to stick to the Ananas bar. The resort was kept very clean and tidy throughout our stay. While the rooms were lovely, the design preference for spa baths rather than traditional showers was a bit unusual for us and not quite what we were looking for. As a family, we did encounter a few logistical challenges. There was very little evening entertainment for children beyond movie reruns, and while the daytime pool disco was fun, we felt the snack options were limited to cake only. It was also quite difficult for the kids to get fully dressed and dry just for a quick lunch. Additionally, we found it frustrating that the Greek restaurant was often empty, yet we were unable to secure a lunch booking. Regarding the beach transfer, it is a necessary service given the steep hills. However, the driver’s strict policy against letting guests on the minibus if they are wet or sandy made it very difficult to use the service after a day at the beach. Finally, while we enjoyed the presence of the cats on the property, the staff should focus on more consistent cleaning, as the waste in certain areas was quite noticeable. Overall, we had a memorable stay, and with a few adjustments to the family amenities and service logistics, this would be an even better destination for groups.

This is a hotel with a mix of 5 stars and 4 stars. 5 stars....views of the sea from all ares, staff(all brilliant), water park, golf buggies to transport you around the hilly site, spa and best massage ever, breakfast. 4 stars.....lunch and dinner, very repetitive, not eating pork again for a while! Evening entertainment was poor and repetitive. But we still had a great time

Generally we had a nice holiday and enjoyed our week away. Wasn’t a 5 star experience but a solid 4. The hotel was 50% occupied and it seems like the operation was scaled back accordingly so we missed out on a functioning pool bar in the day for example. Few comments:- Room - needed some investment but equally we didn't spend a huge amount of time in there. Pools/common spaces - these were brilliant and great spaces to relax and play. The water park was great. The film night each evening was as a real highlight and kept the kids entertained. Service - generally very friendly and prompt however quite reactive. For example, it was rare that the waiters would ask if we wanted a drink and no table service at the pools which was a shame. Food - was generally very good and had some lovely meals. Location - The hotel is on a hill and therefore benefits from amazing views however it is a slog getting around particularly with young kids. This was particularly relevant when playing on the sports pitches and having to return the equipment afterwards. They would benefit from having a locker system down near the pitches. Check out - we had a late flight so asked for a late check out but was told it would cost us 200 euros which we declined. Was a shame as clearly they had low occupancy and could have accommodated us. Left a sour taste in our mouths just as we ended the holiday. A fun, enjoyable holiday but if asked whether we would go back it would be a ‘no’.
