The resort feels like a village on the hillside. The area is quiet and the village of Plaka is close by and walkable. We ate their each night and the food in Plaka is superb! We booked a Luxury Bungalow with pool and sea view which was delightful and lovely after a hot day on the beach. Will return. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/66126982-f548-49ae-88a0-35325d735dc0-1751100274157.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/9fe0d52f-646c-48a9-b07a-45c09f1051ba-1751100349738.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/fad4f66a-fe3c-4011-a3af-61ca4a2258d1-1751100363625.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/0bfa8308-ee60-4f69-b413-43ab27edda32-1751100378591.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Neil Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Monica 24 Aug 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Absolutely wonderful stay! ##### Monica Stayed 6 nights in Aug 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Cherine 16 Oct 2024 Liked: Amenities Absolutely stunning and perfect luxury hotel.
