This hotel offers an incredible experience with its stunning location near Elafonisi beach, and the rooms are clean and provide beautiful views. The staff are remarkably friendly and helpful, making the whole stay even more enjoyable.

I had a fantastic stay at this resort, which is just a short stroll from the breathtaking Elafonisi beach. The rooms were spotlessly clean and surprisingly spacious, equipped with everything needed for comfort. The dining experience was delightful, particularly with the homemade meals on offer. While the service was generally good, we did encounter a minor hiccup during breakfast due to understaffing. Overall, this place is a hidden gem with stunning scenery, though it can get a bit busy at the beach during peak hours.
