Pros: The service was out standing and we were upgraded to a room with a pool. Keep in mind this was in October and the weather was changing and it is a slow time of the year. We ate at the blue door, an outdoor café on the beach and the food was out standing. There breakfast buffet was out standing from Champaign to custom omelets.
We also took a short walk to the next town, Plaka, for dinner and it was excellent and right on the beach also.

Pros: We loved everything! We had a personal infinity pool with a view of the bay! It was spectacular to wake up to and go to bed every night. Enjoyed the easy beech access, boat access, ability to walk down to local eateries nearby. The included breakfast was phenomenal. We had a spa day and it the massage was fantastic! We enjoyed relaxing in the common areas at night and the staff was always with reach if we needed anything (a drink, an ash tray for my cigars.. you name it they brought it). The concierge even helped us find a Mass to go to on Sunday.

Cons: We had a short stay, and received a departure communication/gift the 2nd days we arrived (2 days before the leaving date). I guess it's a "process" but It's not pleasant when the hotel practically says "good bye" to you when you just started your stay. Gym is small and not modern.

Pros: Room size and the woman from New York who greeted us.
Cons: Too big for my taste. concierge was in training and deferred to front desk ckerk for reccomendations. He was nice but not overly knowledgeable. Spa closed on Tuesday and only opened limited hours. we looked forward to using the spa and stayed here specifically because of the spa. Because of the limited hours we checked out a day early and unfortunately fordeitted the cost of one nights stay even though I asked for it to be refunded. Drink sevice at the pool was incredibly slow.

Pros: This is a wonderful hotel, with excellent facilities. The staff were especially pleasant and helpful. Thoroughly recommended.
Cons: The restaurants are very expensive compared to those in Elounda, where apart from the food, one can meet the local residents and enjoy their company. However, this is probably to be expected in a five star hotel. I didn't much like the fact that every meal or drink purchased in the hotel had space for a tip on the bill. I much prefer to give cash directly to those members of staff who deserve it
