  : This is going to be a gem on the island. With great location, superb architecture it needs just more details and better trained staff to make it implacable resort. So far the resort is on a soft openings mode.
  : First of all, to run a top notch resort is not to ask is everything good? but to get in front of any customer needs.

  : Great views. Close proximity to Vathy for restaurants. Lovely hotel with a relaxed feel. Excellent service and delicious breakfast
  : Our one dinner at the hotel restaurant was very good but we felt the food was too formal and rich for the setting

  : We booked the Rock Star Suite which is probably one of the best hotel rooms weve ever stayed in. The private pool, super comfortable king bed, walk-in show and sublime views made us feel like we had our own mini-villa. The staff were friendly and always answered our questions, solved issues and arranged transport, boat hire and Covid tests promptly and efficiently.
  : However, the hotel had only been open for 8 weeks and had some teething problems. These did not ruin our experience but Im noting them here so that the management can get feedback and improve our next visit.Firstly the bar/restaurant staff were not properly trained and cocktail and breakfast service times were far too long (30 mins for a cocktail and 1 hour for room service breakfast). Secondly, although the food was superb, many menu options were not available when try to order, and the wine list is very very poor, mostly low quality Greek wines. Also the bar is poorly stocked without major brands like JD, nor can the staff make a large variety of cocktails.The shower in our room ran cold for 3-4 days despite our asking it to looked into, and the rainfall shower head stopped working as well. If the staff had been slightly more attentive we could have had this fixed and demonstrated properly on the first day rather than the last.Finally the room rate of over 700 per night is more like a 5-6 star hotel, but despite the beautiful room and clever architecture we felt it was very much overpriced.

  : This is a very stylish hotel with fantastic views of Vathi harbour. We never tired of watching the boats come in and out and the butterflies which were in abundance. The staff on reception and in the restaurant did everything they could to make our stay enjoyable. The interior design has been considered and is very sympathetic to the surroundings using lots of wood and stone. Fantastic restaurant as well -best grilled octopus ever! Also 5 mins walk from a small beach and beach bar and 15 mins walk from Vathi harbour
  : There are a lot of steps which we didnt mind at all but you need to be able to manage them. There needs to be more shade from the sun. Our private terrace needed a bigger umbrella. The communal pool area which was absolutely stunning had no shade so we didnt use it. This was a shame and we flagged to the hotel.

  : Great location, beautiful hotel and architecture. The view from was unique. Excellent service - especially Maria, who made our stay pleasant with a smile, every day. Very high standard.
  : No shower by the pool in the room, at times a strong smell from the sewage system in the apartment.
