Fantastic stay at The Island Concept. Food, staff and atmosphere all first class. The only thing that let it down was a miscommunication and high charge for late check out (despite nobody moving into our room until the following day). Not enough to ruin a great stay however and we would highly reccomend.

There is nothing wrong with the hotel. This is a perfect place for a vacation, from the architecture to the service to the cleaning level and first of all for the exquisite personnel, polite and professional, invisible but always there, ready with a smile. Great restaurant for breakfast, pool or beach service and dinner. I will go back for sure, no matter if but only when. Thank you to everyone there.

Small fantastic location right over the sea with a small private beach, excellent on every aspect, from the architecture to the furniture, excellent restaurant and breakfast but above all fantastic personnel, very friendly, present but not invasive, ready for every need. Definetely one of the best places I've been in the recent years. Special mention for the bartender Vangelis and high - standard drinks.

Clean, New, Private
The property is new, clean, and quite small. It almost a private and exclusive feel to it. Our deluxe room had a great view of the bay and was clean and modern with a spacious tile bathroom. The pool is large and heated and there's also a private beach. The hotel is located very close to Agios Nikolaos, although due to logistics, it's required to take a car to get there. The town is laid-back, but has a lot of restarants and shopping.

Wir hatten einen traumhaften Urlaub im Island Concept. Es ist ein wunderschönes, kleines Hotel. Egal ob Zimmer, Pool oder der private Strand, alles ist super schön und ruhig. Das gesamte Hotel lässt nichts zu wünschen übrig und ist einfach ein Traum. Besonders hervorzuheben ist auch das sehr freundliche Personal. Alle sind wahnsinnig nett und zuvorkommend. Ein Ort an dem man sich rundum wohl fühlen und erholen kann.

The hotel is designed beautifully, the staff is kind, welcoming and very helpful (especially during covid time). It’s the kind of place where you can tell that the staff is actually enjoying their work. The food was delicious and the scenery was gorgeous. We hope to come back and stay for longer!

Belle surprise que cet hotel recent, à petite taille, humaine et cosy. Clair et sur site parfait, vues magnifiques de tous endroits. Staff tres agreable. Mention speciale pour Maria et nichos au front office. Aidants plus que la normale. Merci aussi a George au restaurant,Giulia au spa. Mini Plage privée fantastique. La mer crystal clear que beaucoup trouve trop fraiche en raison du courant de la riviere proche etait juste un reve pour moi et tres tres appreciable quand il fait tres chaud.
