I had a lovely stay at this resort spa, enjoying the spacious rooms and the exceptional cleanliness throughout the property. The dining options were quite satisfying with a good variety, though I felt they could represent local cuisine a bit better. The facilities were excellent, especially the spa area which offered a range of relaxing treatments. However, the location involved a steep climb which might not be suitable for everyone despite the stunning views from the hotel.

I was quite impressed with my overall stay at this resort. The views were absolutely stunning and really set the tone for a relaxing getaway. The room I had was spacious, which I appreciated; however, it felt more like a 4-star than a 5-star experience, especially when considering its features. The dining options were excellent, particularly the quality of food in the restaurants. On the downside, I did find the climb to the hotel quite challenging in the heat, but once there, the tranquility was worth it.

My stay at this resort spa was an absolute delight. The staff were not just friendly but genuinely professional, always ready to assist with a smile. I especially enjoyed the spacious room with a breathtaking view of the Aegean Sea. However, while the food was generally of good quality, some local dishes were missing from the menu. The location is stunning, but the steep climb to the hotel could be a challenge in hot weather. Overall, I felt I got great value for my money, especially with the range of amenities available.
