the good standard of accommodation and communal spaces

Kevin United Arab Emirates

This hotel has a personality and a soul. The breakfast provides a varied selection to satisfy almost any reasonable taste. The landscaping is lush and inviting. Lots of flowers and trees and vines provide shade. Rooms are tastefully decorated - and the beds are comfortable. There are some imaginative cool touches such as the rooftop lounge. Staff is friendly and helpful. Excellent location. Quiet and charming,

Csutodd United States of America

The included breakfast was excellent. All the staff were very friendly and most helpful. They also looked after most of our luggage while we visited Sougia for one night in the middle of our stay. The first room we had was excellent and had a great view while the hotel has very nice grounds that one can relax in.
