"I stayed here for my honeymoon, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience! The staff was absolutely amazing, and the breakfast was a solid 10/10! If you’re looking for a more intimate, peaceful stay with fewer crowds and less noise, without sacrificing breathtaking views or amazing food, this is the place to be! It was such a special experience, and I truly hope I get the chance to visit again soon! (Also would recommend to just rent a car)"

"Nous avons aimé, l’endroit est bien situé, merveilleuse vue depuis le balcon de la chambre. Mauvaise communication avec l’hôtel, la navette est au coût de 45euros et non pas un service offert par l’hôtel, ma recommandation est de prendre le bus du port jusqu’à la centrale d’autobus à Fira et ensuite prendre un transfert pour aller à Akrotiri, l’arrêt d’autobus est près de l’hôtel. Moins de 5euros. Location de scooter, moto et quad à 10 min à pied de l’hôtel."
