Very nice Architecture and Attentive Staff!
beautiful architecturefriendly staffperfect stay
The architecture is beautiful. The staff and service are excellent. The entire team, from the reception to the restaurant and bars, is friendly. The whole team ensured I had a perfect stay. I recommend a short trip to Agios Nikolaos. It was worth it!!!
I missed entertainment programs, especially at night. It would have been nice to have some evening activities on site.
