    Staff tried to give us a lower room than what we booked and we had a very frustrating time having to argue with them to get what we reserved.

    Location, style/decor, and the black sand beachfront.

    A true island gem: unforgettable stay with beautiful beach and exceptional service

    Salty water running from the shower and the taps.

    Our stay at this hotel was truly unforgettable. The hotel is a gem right on the beach, which might be the best beach on the island, with its pristine black sand and crystal-clear dark blue water. The large, beautiful pool only adds to the sense of luxury and relaxation. Every detail in this hotel is thoughtfully designed, enhancing its overall charm and elegance. Breakfast was a highlight as well - an exceptional culinary experience that matched the high standards set by the rest of the hotel. Every meal was a delight, reflecting the hotel’s dedication to quality. The staff were incredibly friendly and professional, taking care of us with such attention and warmth. They really go out of their way to make sure you feel completely relaxed and cared for, which is something we’ll remember for a long time. This is easily one of the best hotels we’ve ever stayed at, and we can’t wait to come back.

    Salty water running from the shower and the taps. Looks like some other hotels figured out how to deal with this.

    The property was clean, tidy, fancy, stylish, and comfy. Breakfasts were great - we were ordering new meals and drinks from the menu every time. Kudos to the chef! Personnel were really helpful and caring. Spa personnel were pros. Facilities around the hotel. e.g. the pool and the restaurant were also very convenient. Location was perfect and right on the beach. I also enjoyed the pool at the backyard of our room - the water was always warm and clean. Small presents from time to time were also very pleasant to receive!

    Private pool in the room is actually a jacuzzi which doesn’t cool so not ideal for the middle of summer! Room stylish, but very basic for the price.

    Amazing staff incredibly helpful, friendly and attentive. Great restaurant for breakfast and dinner. Private beach across the street, one of the best on the island. Pool area beautiful and a lovely spa.

    nice staff but a bit non professional, we were often disturbed in our room despite a clear sign on the door, employees were very loud around the pool, the diner experience was underwhelming to say the least ( not so tasty food, pricy and we didn’t get to order desert, the chef had already left…). the location is not that great and the surroundings are lacking and unfortunately you see them from your terrasse

    thé design creating a really cocoon atmosphere, the pool is one of the most beautiful I ever saw the breakfast was very very good and so nice not to have a buffet very helpful staff with the reservations

    Everyone was extremely genuinely friendly, which seems to be the way in the Cyclades. Of course, the breakfast was amazing, and it was in an open-air space protected from the sun. Actually, much of the hotel was open-air, including the reception desk. It was also just across the small road from the beach, and the hotel owns a stretch of beach just for the guests. It is well located to catch the sunrise, which can be spectacular, and even just walking around the neighborhood is interesting as there are a number of small farms and the like. Some ways down the beach are some excellent restaurants. You don't need a car at all if you are just coming to relax. The masseuse at the hotel did an excellent job on me. She could really dig in and get the knots out of my muscles. After my session, I didn't have any aches or pains at night as I otherwise so often do.

    The food and experience were great! This was the last leg of our trip and it was nice to wind down with a massage and relaxation/drinks by the pool! We loved all the staff, especially the bartenders!! The drink and food menu had plenty to pick from. The hotel made several accommodations for us, which was very helpful, including taxi rides to and from Oia. Would highly recommend this hotel!

    Our only minor gripe is that on all 3 of their menus (breakfast, beach and dinner) there are dishes marked as vegan that, upon ordering we were told are not in fact suitable for vegans and that they are mislabelled. This shrank vegan options to one single item in some cases

    An absolute oasis of calm and relaxation along Perivolos. The staff cannot be faulted and will take care of any and all requests (arranging transportation while out and about is a fantastic asset to have). Food was very tasty, in particular their a la carte breakfast menu where ingredients are so fresh and high quality. The rooms are spacious, private and comfy and the pool area is just a dream - the slick dark tiled pool is perfect for swimming lengths and offers a cold water jacuzzi in one end (bring your book while the jets lull you into blissful relaxation)
