I rarely write passionate reviews (or at all, really), but this time I'm just feeling obliged to. TL;DR: Without doubt, this is one of the best resorts that we have ever stayed in. From the minute we arrived to the minute we left, we enjoyed every single bit of the process, be it about comfort, room service, the beach, the restaurants, or any other of the myriad of experiences that you come across while staying at a beach hotel. Location. The hotel is located on the eastern side of the island, around 20-25 minute drive from both the airport and the town. The location is quite remote from any villages, which gives a hint of wilderness. The hotel is the first in a row of similar-style sea-facing resorts, but the grounds are so expansive that you can barely notice them. Immediately to the north is an expansive woodland area (pines/cypresses), mixed with southern Mediterranean ”moon” landscape (limestone and small bushes). The area feels quiet and secluded despite a fairly-busy road nearby and various in-house activities. Comfort (internal). We stayed in a triple room in building 1 (the ”main” one). The room was smartly furnished and spacious enough to give every one of us their personal space. The beds were comfortable. We wouldn't mind to have slightly more storage space for clothing, but that is mostly due to our daughter's excessive dressing choices. Sizeable bathroom and balcony. Plenty of inventory. We also briefly stayed in a double room in building 3 (moved there for late checkout for half a day), which was more modern and ”smart”. We only spent a couple of hours there, so can't comment much on comfort or beds, but it looked nice and fresh. Comfort (external). We were really impressed with the ergonomics and look-and-feel of the hotel. The main building is a gorgeous architectural work; the grandeur of it is best appreciated from the sea. Every morning we swam up to the buoys to dangle in the water and discuss various aspects of the building. The indoor areas are designed smartly and beautifully. The three central lifts have glass walls that give you great views on the sea and the garden. The grounds are in impeccable condition (which should have been quite a challenge, considering the climate!) Every bit of the area was designed to make sense, and the gardens are a pleasure to look at. Dining. We went to the ”main” Emerald restaurant for breakfasts and dinners. Absolutely great selection of dishes, including local (for us :)) and ”international” (for an unassuming British teenager). Can't blame for anything. The atmosphere and service were second to none. The personnel couldn't be more helpful and friendly; by the end of our stay we made friends and enjoyed nice little talks with many of them. Unfortunately, I can't remember all the names, but among others many thanks to Klim, Evgenios, and Katerina for making our dining experience so great, by remembering our preferences, and generally being lovely friendly people. For lunch,
