“In Hersonissos, this adults-only beachfront hotel distinguishes itself with tailored spa treatments and a dedication to tranquility; its elegant design extends to individually designed rooms, some featuring private pools. The gourmet dining, especially the sushi, is noteworthy, as is the proximity to both golf courses and the town's vibrant nightlife. For couples seeking relaxation and bespoke experiences, this is a compelling choice.”

The breakfast had a large selection. It was quite delicious. The design of the hotel is modern and visually appealing. I also found an iron and full stand-up ironing board in my room, very useful for me. The hotel provided great service (from the employees), I really enjoyed that.
I noticed a slight leakage that caused water to drop on the sunbed sometimes.
