My husband and I stayed in this hotel for 4 days to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Overall we really enjoyed our stay and would recommend it. There are some minor issues but overall it is a luxury hotel and experience. Pros: - the hotel itself is beautiful, design is very minimal and modern, the rooms are huge and beautiful. Massive beds, views from our balcony were stunning, and the hotel and rooms are quiet and peaceful. We had a hot tub on our balcony. You get a fridge in your room, water refilled each day and a coffee machine with a coffee capsule each day. - each room has its own terrace and most / maybe all with either a small pool or hot tub and sun beds, the way they have been designed is for maximum privacy so you chill on your own terrace or the main pool which is never that busy because everyone has their own space as well - the hot tub we had on our balcony was warm enough that we could enjoy it day and night. In Greece my understanding is hot tubs / pools are not heated they rely on the sun to heat the water during the day. So whilst it is fair to say they are not heated and could be hotter, this is standard in Greece and usually the hotel will specify if it is heated and the hotel website and Q&As on *********** does also explain this - the staff were very accommodating and friendly - the breakfast was amazing, you can order from a menu of different options and you can order multiple things. Coffee was really good. The breakfast area is lovely with amazing views - some of the food the hotel serve is really good. Yes it’s expensive but you are paying for a level of service in beautiful surroundings. We ate round the pool each night and watched the sun set which was perfect - main pool area is also lovely, well kept, amazing sunset views - you can walk to Pyrgos town very easily and eat at other nice restaurants nearby. The walk is maybe 10-15 mins and not that steep. Pyrgos is a really pretty quiet town especially compared to Oia which was too busy - spa is incredible and you book a slot so it’s just you and completely private (for the spa pool and jacuzzi only - see below cons re spa sauna) Cons: - the staff can be a little over-attentive at times and sometimes felt like they were trying to upsell you on food and drinks but I think they are just trying very hard to ensure you have everything you need - the food options for lunch / dinner are quite repetitive so if you’re there for more than a few days you will want to go into town for a change. The drinks are also very expensive which is not surprising but does mean you think twice before ordering more than 1! - the main pool area pool is very cold and not heated. On a very hot day we found this fine but given it’s a 5 star luxury hotel I do think it would be better if it could be heated although noted above this is not the norm in Greece as I understand it, though the hotel is 5* and is catering to international guests so a heated pool is something I would have exp
