i loved the variety of restaurants. the swimming pools onsite gave us plenty of options. it was great we didn't need to travel elsewhere. the drinks and cocktails were amazing all day long.
dinner staff were very rude. when we asked to clean a table, they shouted at us and asked us to sit outside. the tables were not set for us but empty tables were being set. i was spoken to in a rude manner.

The restaurants offer great selection. I visited different places and each had diverse choices. The food was good. The hotel are beautiful. I liked adult zone as well as restaurants choices. Staff were very lovely.
I think the minibar selection was disappointing. It mostly contained low-quality brands. The selection might have been better if the hotel did not provide one at all.

The location is amazing. It took only a minute to walk from our room to the sea. the greek seaside village style is cute with whitewashed buildings, plants, and flowers. i really loved the food and the unique restaurant reservation system. It was dope! thank you for giving people such a wonderful time.

Wonderful Stay and Great Amenities

accommodating staffnice touchlow entertainment
I extend my thanks for the staff. They were very accommodating and let us stay longer in rooms after check out. There was a cake for Ryan's birthday and that was a very nice touch. I found many options to sit and chill out.
Entertainment was a little bit low quality. There is always room for improvement in this area. Next time I hope for better program.
