Relaxing and Clean Stay

food choiceevening entertainmentpleasant staffclean resort
the buffet had a nice choice of food and i enjoyed the restaurants. the evening entertainment lasted about an hour and it was good. most of the staff were pleasant, though i felt some reception staff could be more helpful. the resort is very clean and respectable, a great spot to unwind (windy conditions aside).

The buffet offers diverse choices. there are several restaurants. I recommend the japanese restaurant, umi. the food quality was consistently high (the desserts were beautifully presented!). the restaurants require reservations via the hotel app.

the hotel is located a short walk from a beach suitable for snorkelling, it's about a half-hour walk to agia pelagia. the setting and the grounds are very special indeed (views were pretty lovely!).
Facilities

pool areas offer plenty of loungers, so finding a spot was never difficult, even when the hotel was full. the hotel provides an app upon arrival, facilitating table reservations and providing hotel information. the gym has great views (sunset!).
Rooms

our room was kept clean daily and had fresh towels (a nice touch!). the room had a sea view and the views were really pretty lovely. i found it comfortable and adequate for the time i spent inside.

The hotel sat on the side of a cliff. It was Amazing! all the staff were friendly. i have stayed in many all inclusive resorts but this one takes the cake. WOW!
We stayed at this resort for a stay of six nights. I feel we were treated very differently to others who stayed for seven. upon arrival we saw people receive champagne and hot towels. we did not receive this. we had booked six nights, and we were there for a full seven days, but they said as we did not book seven nights, we do not have access to any restaurants, and we would have had to pay €298 euros to dine in all three. AFTER SPENDING THOUSANDS?! we really did not want to do this!
