Beautiful, modern, chic big rooms. With exceptionally comfy beds. Pool area and bar were great. Lots of sunbeds with plenty of shaded seating and umbrellas. Service for drinks and food was always friendly and prompt. Little walk down to rocky platform with ladders into the sea. Great for snoring

We spent a wonderful 4 nights at the hotel before moving to another part of the island.
It is excellent. The staff are superb; the food is delicious, especially breakfast, and all tastes very homemade. The boat trip was really enjoyable too. Highly recommend.

This is a lovely place to stay just make allowances for the slightly chaotic state of the reception. Otherwise the restaurant is lovely with great food, enormous portions. The swimming pools are wonderful and beautifully set up. We didn’t visit the spa so can’t comment. Fiskardo is a charming village to visit with regular shuttles from the hotel.

The actual hotel was lovely and the location excellent. The ladies at breakfast and who served in the reception bar were also 5*.
Unfortunately the service at the pool bar did not live upto our expectations when booking.
We are three times and on all occasions the orders were wrong and in one instance our meal at dinner took 3 hours to arrive, with no apologies.
The staff around the pool had no urgency, they definitely needed the ladies down there to sort them out.

Truly an oasis of a resort! My favorite things were the private beach for swimming, the accessibility to walk into Fiscardo and other neighboring beaches, and the facilities with the pools! I would highly recommend. For being a resort that “has it all” you still have a ton of access to exploring around.
