This was my second visit to the hotel after first visiting with a friend in 2023. This time I came with my partner. The hotel is just as lovely as the first time I visited and I was glad I returned!||A few points:|- booked a sunset view king room this time, this was on the top floor and was a lovely view of the resort, sea and sunset |- we tipped the maid a few euros a day and in return received lots of water & coffee pods (which we requested). There is a choice of pillows if you prefer a firmer pillow. Also the turndown service is lovely - if you are out of the room when they come round they clean the bathroom up, fresh towels, and leave a little different gift nightly! I think they come about 7-8pm.|- whatever whenever are excellent - I whatsapped them and they made all our restaurant/taxi bookings including getting us front row tables at restaurants in the local village Gialova. Thank you!|- a note on the taxis - they are few and far between still. You need to book your taxi in advance and stick to the time. It was €10 each way to Gialova which is a terrible rip off considering it takes 4 minutes in the car but it’s supply & demand I suppose!|- the cook to order breakfast menu is no longer advertised, but you can order anything. I had avocado egg on toast every day! |- we used the gym which is well equipped. I did a yoga class which was challenging & very enjoyable! |- the swimming pool is gorgeous and even when busy still feels very zen|- I was disappointed that the between bar still appears to be hardly open or underused. I feel like it should open at 3 or 4pm for golden hour cocktails and photos but it doesn’t open until 6, and even then was unstaffed the 2 times we went there, which was a shame! |- also, a new motorway is being built from Kalamata to Costa Navarino, so probably next summer there will be better connections and it won’t be a wind-y 50 min drive through the hills from the airport. Based on this the area may become less exclusive, so go whilst it’s still a little unheard of corner of Greece!!!||I’d return again 🙂
