“Stunning property and magical views”

Couldn’t fault this property. On Vathi beach this place is beautiful and resort like. Massive swimming pool and great friendly service everywhere. Went for a Villa room with private pool (it wasn’t cheap) but worth every Euro! The Villa was stand alone and about 60-70sqm - two bathrooms and separate loungeroom (with a kitchenette). Pool was larger than expected and the views magical. Breakfast space was on the beach - although very private and mostly outdoors (some indoors upstairs). Great selection and incredibly fresh - the chai yoghurt a fruit a must. Went to the gym - small although functional and very clean. You’ll need a car to get around (or a powerful scooter as we did) as the island is very hilly and steep inclines. We would definitely return.

“Gorgeous 5 Star Boutique Hotel”

We stayed in 2BR/3bath villa with private pool. The villa was STUNNING, spacious, immaculately clean, modern in beachy, airy Greek style. We had a full living room, dining room, kitchen with ice machine, an outdoor dining area, wrap around outdoor living space and 4 lounge chairs. Bathrooms were large and well equipped with great towels, nice robes and slippers. AC was perfect. Beds and pillows were comfy and the sheets exquisite (I am hard to please on beds and pillow!) Ample lighting and gorgeous view of the bay. We even had our own golf cart for use on the property. Gift shop was small and pricey but cute. I bought some jewelry. SERVICE: 5-Star, outstanding. Room service was fast and all requests were responded to and every need met. I requested a yoga mat, which was promptly delivered. Breakfast was very good, smaller variety than some, but good quality. Nice selection of fruits, sweet and savory, fresh OJ and Moet and Chandon. A 5-star touch. Lunch had a limited menu but was good. Pool and beach bar were very nice and not at all crowded. I believe there was also a playground and giant chess board on property. Location: a bit isolated, but down the beach you could walk to a good number of authentic tavernas which were good and inexpensive. There was also a convenience market for drinks, sunscreen, etc. The beach was not great, a bit murky with seaweed, etc, but has sunbeds and is steps from the hotel pool. A few suggestions: Kitchen could be better equipped with glasses, dishes and utensils. Also, the ever-present feral cats in the dining area were bothersome and often aggressive in nature. Perhaps an indoor dining area or better barriers/management would be helpful. Tip for travelers: rent a cart. The location is a bit remote. Would have liked to see more of Sifnos. And maybe order room service for breakfast to avoid the cat fights....

“Nice Hotel and Beach”

Our family stayed here for three nights, and the hotel is very nice. Enjoyed our time and would recommend people stay. However, we did encounter some friction. When we checked in and went to our room, we noticed a large amount of ants in the room and all over the floor. Eventually they ended up in one of our suitcases. We notified the hotel, who offered to move our room, but being here only 3 nights, that seemed a hassle. We asked, and were obliged, to have our clothes and suitcase cleaned. There is a restaurant on property and the food is very good, both for breakfast and dinner. The pool restaurant and bar are very nice, and have nice food for lunch. The workout facility is a nice amenity, as the roads are very hilly and curvy around the hotel. The beach is very nice and allows access to walk to taverns for lunch and dinner. We would recommend staying here.

This is a very nice hotel with one of the nicest pool areas of any hotel I’ve stayed at. The grounds are extremely well kept, and the whole hotel feels very secluded and relaxing. The food on the breakfast a la carte menu was good. If staying in the hotel cost 60% of the actual price I would give it a 4 or 5 star rating. However, given the prices they charge, they have to deliver to a higher standard and unfortunately they don’t. The air conditioning appears to be centrally controlled, presumably as a cost saving measure, meaning that the thermostat in the room does not actually control the temperature. On the first night, it was far too warm and I contacted reception, and after some hassle, I was told they would have someone take a look the next day. No offer of an alternative room was made and that was the last I heard from them about the issue. The temperature did improve the next day, but the thermostat still clearly didn’t control the temperature and the air conditioning temperature varied and at times was too warm. For a five star hotel charging these prices, this isn’t acceptable. The drink and food prices are frankly eye watering and way beyond anything I saw anywhere in Greece on a two week trip. An iced coffee and bottle of coke cost nearly 12 euro. A bottle of beer cost 9 euro. That same beer was available for 4 euro in one of the local tavernas, perhaps 100 metres from the hotel. The price went beyond “premium hotel pricing” and felt gratuitous. The service in general was below average, compared to other, cheaper, hotels I stayed in on the trip. Overall, a really nice hotel, and an enjoyable stay. But not even close to worth the money.
