Reviews and Ratings
I couldn't have asked for a better stay! The hotel offers stunning rooms with big balconies and amazing views of the mountains, coupled with lovely simple interior touches. However, the price was a bit high compared to similar options. The service was exceptional, making me feel truly pampered, while the location on a cliff overlooking the sea was simply breathtaking. The dining experience, although not included, offered excellent options for all tastes.
I couldn't have asked for a better stay! The hotel had lovely simple interior touches and offered an amazing view of the clear blue water. The service was exceptional with a warm welcome and fantastic assistance throughout my stay. While the dining options were satisfying, the pricing could have been more budget-friendly.
My stay at the hotel was delightful. The location is just perfect, nestled on the hill above the sea offering breathtaking views, but access is a bit challenging due to the steep hill. The rooms provided a cozy setting with an amazing view that made my mornings refreshing, though a bit pricey. The service was top-notch, especially at the reception desk with friendly staff always ready to assist. The dining experience catered to my vegetarian preferences, although with limited Colombian coffee options. The facilities were modern, but the paid shuttle service came as an additional cost.

The hotel offers a stunning view with lovely simple interior touches and amazing clear blue water. The rooms provide a great view and are beautifully designed, but they could be more spacious. The service is exceptional at the reception desk and for room service, but I found some paid services surprising. The location is ideal, situated on the hill above the sea in a very beautiful bay of Agia Pelagia, making it perfect for a relaxing vacation. The dining experience, although varied, could improve with more vegetarian options. The facilities are well-equipped, but the gym could be bigger.
