    Amazing hotel and the most amazing staff.

    The weather was too windy, so take under consideration that it might be a problem if you plan to travel in mid October.

    The room and the view was amazing and the staff was extra helpful and super nice. We felt like they done the best they could to make us feel welcome and to make sure we maximize our fun. The hotel is amazing and built in a very sophisticated and comfortable way. We traveled with a 10 months old and the staff was super considerate and very helpful with arranging all the baby stuff.

    Nothing, my only comment would be to consider making it adults only to keep the peaceful feel.

    Stunning hotel! Loved our room with a large lounge pool and the twinkly lights in the main pools. We really enjoyed our stay and the breakfast was excellent. Plaka is a lovely village with some nice restaurants and shops and just a 5 minute walk from Cato.

    my only suggestion would be from an energy perspective, we didn't need towels changing every day. I like the idea that you can place on the floor if you need them changing, otherwise they can last a few days.

    Wonderful location with views of the sea and Spinalonga Island. We walked each evening the ten minutes to Plaka village for dinner. The breakfast was amazing! every possible need catered for, from cereal, fresh fruit bar, yoghurts, many types of bread, pastries, cakes, waffles, pancakes, hot food, juices, prosecco! Staff were lovely! wonderful poolside bar for lunch, great food and cocktails! Made use of the gym to account for all the excellent food! The accommodation was very clean, attended to daily as was our little pool. Proper coffee machine, fridge, water provided daily. The accommodation was on many levels to optimise the views, a cable car is provided to take you up. We rode on it to take in the view from the top!

    A beautiful hotel with absolutely stunning views. Has a very new and spotlessly clean feel. The staff were amazing friendly and attentive throughout. The “cable car” style lift was very unique and lovely to use. They have a beach bar which is also great and very comfortable sun beds, with waiter service, which are free for hotel guests. The walk to the beach, beach bar and village is only 10 mins max but there is also a free shuttle that runs all day, on demand, especially if you don’t feel like the walk back uphill. When we booked it in the day at the beach bar, they gave us ice cold water and an ice cold towel while we waited (all of about 3 minutes!!). A true sign of quality. The food in the hotel was good but we ate a lot at the restaurants on the seafront. Many great ones to choose from and beautiful settings. Would highly recommend CAYO and Plaka

    It was not easy getting places at the beach - given you pay so much for the hotel they should have a possibility to reserve or come up with another process.

    It was our second time and we loved it just as much as the first. The luxury provided by the hotel in combination with the local Plaka village feeling is perfect for us.

    Really minor things that wouldn't change our decision, but if I had to say something: There was no shade in the pools (except specific area in one pool), food in the room service was ok. The beach was pretty disappointing, you can use the hotel sunbed only if there are free ones, however, it is open to everyone (not only hotel guests) and if the beach is crowded you might not have a bed.

    The hotel is stunning, we loved the facilities and the space. The stuff is super friendly and helpful. The hotel is super clean. The view is great. We stayed in a private pool room, which was worth it.
