Great service. Great facilities and gorgeous resort. Excellent food and dinning options. Beach was well kept. From the moment we arrived the staff were very attentive and helpful. They handled our bags, had us in our room as an early checkin in a reasonable time. Made us feel welcome and gave us several perks for us to enjoy. Highly recommend this hotel if you like luxury and 5 star service

This is an older hotel. Unless you pay for a beach front room this property is old. It is split into 2 hotels which are joined by a bridge that takes you across the street to the beach side where the rooms are slightly nicer. Not the cleanest hotel and staff not professional. Beach chairs are uncomfortable and chairs by the pool are all on grass. Not the type of hotel we thought we were getting.

Perfect Holiday!
Our stay was wonderful from start to finish. The staff were so attentive and provided impeccable service. Especially Zoi who we had both at breakfast and the Galazio where she introduced the food, outstanding. The facilities were brilliant from the beach, pool, spa, gym and use of the paddle court. Will definitely be coming back here at some point in the future.
