12 Months Resort & Spa

We enjoyed 3 nights at this hotel at the end of September 2024. Good location with some fabulous beaches nearby. The hotel recommended Milopotamus, which was charming. But we preferred Plaka at Agios Ioannis, where you can drive almost down to the beach and park in the hotel car park. The hotel itself was comfortable, especially the bed, but sadly there were too many negatives for us, and we would not recommend this hotel: 1) the staff were universally charming, but apart from the Albanian maintenance man, seemed to confuse this with customer service. The latter was sadly not what we expected for a 5 star resort. For example there were no cushions on our outside furniture, which were uncomfortable. We asked for some, but it did not appear. Also we had real difficulty with getting the hot water in the basin to work because the tap was very modern and over complicated. It also worked in a different way to the shower tap. It took us the best part of the day to get this explained to us, with one receptionist getting a bit irritated when we kept complaining, although she herself could not get it to work. The Albanian maintenance man was doing repointing on the wall outside our room. We were woken every morning by the chip chip of his hammer. 2) breakfast was very poor. Over stewed filter coffee which tasted like dish water, with Cappucino or Americano charged extra and not very good. Very little choice of Fresh Fruit. Eggs poorly cooked and ultra-processed bacon, sausage, cold meats and cheese. Stale bread. 3) the gym equipment was tired and in our view the weight machines were dangerous, with very loose wires. 4) although we had a junior suite, with separate sitting area, there was no TV in that area, you had to lie in/on bed. 5) the toilet was right next to the bed, in line with the head of the person sleeping on the right side.

Our stay was fantastic! The scenery is captivating, and the pool area is perfect for relaxation. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, and the staff is incredibly friendly. The on-site restaurant and snack options were a great convenience. The SPA services are top-notch—Mrs. Antigone is exceptionally professional. Plus, it's just a short distance from the stunning Mylopotamos beach. We had a wonderful time and would love to visit again and again.

There is no place like this. It makes me feel peaceful and complete. All the family enjoyed excellent food, sports, sleep and spa!! The sense of living inside the chestnut forest looking at the Aegean sea is unique. The combination of mountain and beech is magical. I would like to thank the kind staff for such wonderful survises. If you love fine malts you will have a nice experience at 12months.
