Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Guests consistently praise the modern decor and spacious layout of the rooms, particularly the premium king rooms that feature individual plunge pools and offer really good sea views. The hotel's proximity to Agios Nikolaos makes it easy to enjoy the town's shopping and dining. While the main pool area, especially the infinity pool overlooking the bay, is a favorite, some have noted that the plunge pools on balconies get limited sun.
