Laid back luxury. Fantastic hotel, one of the best we’ve been to. Went for baby moon. Place is quiet, full of families with very well behaved children, teen children, and couples looking for a relaxing time. All amenities are great - likely recently renovated. Food was delicious, didn’t feel the need to leave the hotel for 7 days. Sun loungers are high quality and comfortable. Room is spacious. The staff is on another level of professionalism. Shout out to Simos - professional, kind, going above and beyond day after day. Very impressed. From the waiters, cleaning staff, reception stuff - everyone was absolutely great. Room exactly as advertised. Will absolutely return.

You feel wrapped in a peaceful cocoon the minute you walk in the door. Maria and the customer service team are super lovely and helpful. We stayed in a superior waterfront bunglow which was thoughtfully designed and offered lovely local products in the bathroom. The trick is to get one with a view out to the ocean and then it’s just blue as far as the eye can see. Would thoroughly recommend the wine tasting and food from the excellent team at Terpsis
