We discovered this hotel online on the Thursday and after return emails with the lovely Katerina, who assured us that they could cater for myself being gluten intolerant (Coeliac), we booked and arrived three days later 31st May for 7 nights. Not only were we concerned, as we always are when travelling and going to a new place re: my intolerance, but we also weren’t quite sure re: the close proximity of the airport runway we had read about and also building work being carried out next door. Well we needn’t have been! What a very special place we had found full of very special people :)) We arrived as strangers and feel we left as friends. Both myself and my husband considered breakfast here was to a very high standard. Even though the lunch and dinner menu is somewhat limited as some people have previously mentioned and there were a few choices that straight off I was unable to choose, every day I was helped to make a gluten free choice with the restaurant manager's help even mixing things around. We were half board but ate lunch every day at the hotel because I felt so confident that everyone was looking after me and seemed to be clued up on cross contamination too. The gluten free food for myself and everything for my husband that came out of the kitchen was simply stunning and of restaurant quality. The chefs certainly know what they are doing and everything is cooked with love! The operations manager sourced some gluten free Greek lager for us to purchase also! We weren’t bothered at all by the building works while we were there and were actually fascinated by the aircraft flying so low over the hotel. Many good videos were taken …… it added something. The hotel is exceptionally clean, built with style, class and attention to detail. All furniture everywhere was comfortable with quality furnishings inc. bedding/towel/bathrobes. Having fly screens you can pull across your open balcony door and bathroom window just makes perfect sense! Our room was so well looked after by housekeeping and lovely touches were supplied as standard. This isn’t the cheapest place to eat and drink by far, your large bottle of water if you want it at lunch and dinner was chargeable which we felt could have been complimentary, but what you are getting is quality. We had pure relaxation in this calm and peaceful oasis and were totally looked after by one and all! We very much hope to return to be greeted by all their smiling faces again :))
