This hotel is absolutely beautiful. The pictures do not do this excellent resort any justice. The tranquil beautiful setting is truly one of a kind. The pool, spa amenities, restaurants and the wine/olive oil are incredible. Truly a destination that deserves all the accolades.

8.2/10 Very Good! (705 reviews)
It was a bit of a walk to the city center but easy to get to. The staff were very friendly but the smells they use to make it "smell nice" when you first walk in give you an instant headache and they're so overwhelming. We had our windows and balcony door open for our entire stay as it was very cheap smelling and felt like they were trying to cover things up. They were lovely and kept our bags for us for a few hours behind the desk on the day of checkout and were very nice but they smell and older vibes were not my fav, to be it as honestly as I can.
