The first thing to say is that the staff at this hotel are genuinely exceptional. The facilities are lovely - veryclean, very well designed, very spacious, with great sea views and only a moment from the sand (well...pebbles) of the beach. But it's the staff who really made the experience "five star". From the moment we arived at reception after a long day of travelling, to the moment we left, a little sad, for aNOTHER long day of travelling, nothing was too much to ask, and everyone was always ready with a smile and a few kind words. Of particular note (and this is difficult as even the CLEANING staff were incredible) is the night porter, Ioan, and the evening bar tender (whose name, I'm sorry to say, escapes me just now) - both of whose friendliness and genuine care really made the week special. I literally cannot say enough about the team there. Add to it the incredible private beach, the spacious, seafront rooms (all with private balconies), and gorgeous restaurant terrace (with a fantastic breakfast buffet and a very nice dinner menu as well), the the proximity to Lindos (a beautiful little village about 15 minutes' drive away), and the brilliant service, I would wholeheartedly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a peaceful, relaxing break. We are deeply grateful to the team for making us so comfortable and happy and we hope to see them all again next year.
