The entire staff were friendly, welcoming and extremely professional. The property was unique… the room was spacious and the amenities were endless. We loved the high end blue tooth speaker system in our room as well as the robes and slippers. Dimitrios and Kostas were very helpful and Elizabeth gave us terrific deep tissue messages. Stella took great care of our room. The restaurant onsite was excellent and we were well attended to by the staff. We are grateful! We will return for sure!!

The staff was just fantastic

The entire staff went above and beyond in every aspect. Once they heard we were checking out early, b4 breakfast, they made 2 "to go" breakfasts that we could eat on the ferry. I cant say enough about the staff and property. Our only mistake was not renting a car, but we were there to relax

The beds were a bit hard and uncomfortable. The shower drain was very slow and you had to walk through your own self to get out . I asked to have it resolved and nothing ever happened. You shouldn't have to ask twice in the bag to have something fixed. The staff was very friendly and the breakfast was quite Pleasant
