We had a balcony room over looking the shores of Agia Pelagia and Ligaria beaches.
The resort pool was a great place for a quiet afternoon. The poolside eatery was excellent, serving a great breakfast.
I would not hesitate to book again.

A real gem of a hotel. Amazing views across the bay.
Service was incredible, nothing too much trouble. All the team were very friendly whenever you saw them around the hotel.
Walkable to local beaches and restaurants.
Pool was spotless and grounds well cared for.
I would definately revisit!!
What a peaceful space with everything you may need.
You will need a car if you plan on exploring. The hotel was very helpful in hiring one at a.very reasonable price.
Excellent breakfast and pool area.
Would definitely recommend this property.
