A spectacular stay! We’ve spent a week and it was one of the best holidays we’ve had in a very long time! Staff: an absolute delight to interact with and extremely thoughtful and kind; the team go out of their way to help providing one of the best services we’ve ever had. Food: breakfast, lunch, and dinner; simply wow. The chef is so talented and the flavours are so well balanced, we rediscovered the greek cuisine during our stay! Villa: we had a room with a private infinity pool and massage room; it was clean, well equipped with scenic views of the coast.

Generally a great place to stay
Staff and service were excellent, really child friendly. Terrace was big, pool was deep. Kids club was great, they never wanted to leave. My only negative comments would be our villa was dated and was certainly due new bathrooms as they were looking very tired.

The service was exceptional. The staff & in particular the manager couldn’t do enough for us. It a very quiet resort. The beach club is 10 minutes away but they do provide free shuttle service. The only criticism is a lack of atmosphere. Music would add to the ambience at the beach club but this is a minor issue compared to all the positives in particular the service.

Not the oustanding hotel it. pretends to be.
Beautiful location,perfect room and pool.Small things make that this not a 5 star hotel. I had booked an arrangement with full breakfeast included.I prefer to have this in my room. Inroom surcharge is normal,but that I was charged in full it was mentioned nowhere that breakfeast has to be taken in the restaurant and it is the first time this happens to me.I have a continental breakfest with no extras. Bathrobe was never changed even with a 12days stay,housekeeping very slack over the weekend.etc

Luxury villas and suites overlooking Spinalonga:
We booked our stay right at the end of the season, in the middle of October, but the weather was beautiful and it was still warm enough to swim in the complex's infinity pool. The suite was tasteful and comfortable and the staff couldn't do enough for us. The Argo restaurant was accomplished, if pricey, but visitors really must try The Ferryman in Elounda.
