We loved everything! We had a personal infinity pool with a view of the bay! It was spectacular to wake up to and go to bed every night. Enjoyed the easy beech access, boat access, ability to walk down to local eateries nearby. The included breakfast was phenomenal. We had a spa day and it the massage was fantastic! We enjoyed relaxing in the common areas at night and the staff was always with reach if we needed anything (a drink, an ash tray for my cigars.. you name it they brought it). The concierge even helped us find a Mass to go to on Sunday.
United States of AmericaTop level hotel. You pay more but you get the best facility and the best service. The private beach alone just worth every penny. You get the best atmosphere. It is very nice to just be in all of the locations in the hotel - the bars and the restaurants have great views to the sea.
IsraelLots of option for the activities and restaurants
ChinaThe beautiful view, rooms were wonderful, clean. Staff was extremely friendly I feel like I made new friends!
United States of AmericaBeautiful views - color of the water is breathtaking, everything at the resort was very clean, quiet area, and very friendly/helpful staff. safe surrounding towns - my husband and I visited Plaka and Elounda multiple times during our stay. Fun to explore the surrounding area.
United States of AmericaThe staff is really friendly and all the outdoor space is wonderful! We especially loved the beach area.
United States of AmericaWe stayed at this property for a mini honeymoon. We were looking for relaxation and seclusion and received just that! The property is in impeccable shape. You always see staff cleaning up and fixing around to keep the property in its best shape. Our room was always well cleaned and the food on the property was outstanding. We had food delivered to our room every day and enjoyed the spectacular views from our room. If you are looking for relaxation this is the place to stay.
United States of AmericaThe view is amazing, the staff are so friendly, the food was good and the rooms are spacious and clean, it’s very quiet. A perfect get away vacation for couples :)
IsraelThe staff were very polite and helpful and the rooms were clean with a lovely view.
United States of AmericaThe facility was marvelous. The beach fantastic but nothing compared to the warmth of the staff. George, the food and beverage manager was always on site acting as host and friend. His attitude was reflected by Nina and his entire staff. We travel worldwide and this might be the best service we ever had. Don’t bother eating off site. Every restaurant was better than anything you can get in town. We will be back!
