We have just returned from a holiday at this wonderful resort and wanted to share our experience... Firstly, I was a bit concerned about going to a big resort, my husband has mild alzheimer's and gets overwhelmed with large places with lots of people, especially at mealtimes. I needn't have worried, although the complex is big it doesn't have the feeling of being big, mealtimes were relaxing and 'civilized'. The staff were extremely helpful, especially the guest relations team, a special thanks to Anastasia and Irini who went over and above to help us with trips and advise us on local attractions. Breakfast was good, we opted for half board as there wasn't a great different in the price - the evening meal was good, what you might expect from a buffet style meal, lots of choice but not exceptional. We ate one night in the Limoni restaurant which was excellent and reasonably priced with great views. Amazing sunsets from the terrace in the evening. The grounds are beautiful and very well maintained. The room was spotlessly clean and comfortable. There is a shuttle to the 2 local towns, both definitely worth a visit, TIP: the taxi is the same price as the shuttle. Both towns have a sandy beach, you need to pay for sunbeds, we went in a heatwave so needed the shade of the sun umbrellas! The hotel's private beach is shingley and very narrow, I would recommend getting there before 11.00 a.m. if you want a sunbed. We had taken some beach shoes and actually liked this beach as it was quieter and more relaxing, you can order drinks on the beach. Access down to the beach involves a lot of steps, not so good for anyone with a disability. I would recommend the Blue Lagoon boat trip, which was reasonably priced at €45 each including transfers and lunch, the lunch was surprisingly good - unlike many similar trips we have been on.
