Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was quite enjoyable overall. The rooms were very clean and comfortable, but there was a bit of noise from the kitchen ventilation fan in the mornings. The view of the garden was lovely, though it could use a touch-up. The staff was fantastic and very welcoming, providing great recommendations for local attractions and restaurants.
The hotel offers comfortable and clean rooms with a great view from the garden, but could benefit from upgrades. The service is a mix of unprofessionalism and tremendous attention. The location is good overall, especially for a quiet holiday by the Mirabello Bay, yet may have some tired aspects. The dining experience is basic but adequate, particularly for those enjoying traditional Greek products.
Staying at the hotel was mostly fantastic, with the rooms being nearly perfect. Although there was some noise from the kitchen ventilation fan in the morning, upgrading to a superior room was absolutely gorgeous, even if it cost a little more. The service was a mix of experiences, not the nicest upon arrival but overall friendly and kind, offering great recommendations on local restaurants and attractions. The location, nestled in a mountain with delightful gardens, is good if you plan to stay within the hotel premises. The dining experience was generally good and fulfilling, except for some instances of poor standard. Facilities were satisfactory with a mix of positive and negative aspects to note.
The hotel offers lovely rooms with amazing views, and the swimming pool area is immaculate. However, the morning noise from the kitchen ventilation fan above the room can be a bit disruptive. The rooms are spacious and could benefit from a touch-up.
