"Warm and friendly, welcoming staff, creating a mellow vibe that was immediately relaxing. Fantastic location right on the front with great harbour and bay views, from the outdoor dining area and room balconies. The simple, unfussy rooms had all we needed and contributed to the calm, with deeply comfortable king-size beds the star of the show. We slept so well! The biggest surprise was the rooftop pool and bar, giving stunning views and making a great escape. The biggest memory is the warmth of the team, who went out of their way to make our stay relaxing and memorable."

"Me and my elderly dad had a great week here. Perfect location on the beach with a great pool. All kept very clean. The spa was great too. The staff were wonderful and accommodating and the rooms had great balconies to sit and read. The only thing which could be improved was the food offered - just not as nice as other places and the shower in the bathroom was a bit of a pain - try to shower without turning your bathroom into a swimming pool! We would definitely return and would recommend this hotel. No problems for my dad walking around the complex and he loved his week there."

"The view was absolutely stunning- we had a balcony overlooking the sea and the sunset. Apartment was very comfortable. We will certainly go back! Spectacular view from the bar for evening drinks & restaurant for a breakfast. Location is great if you have a car as situated on the hill between Glossa and Loutraki. You can walk to either town or the nearest bus stop on narrow winding roads. Highly recommended for one of the best sunset spots on the island !"
