Lovely hotel, nice people.
Pros:

The breakfast was very good, although the coffee a bit better and the pastries not very nice. The view of the sea was beautiful, but it was quite far from the beach.

Cons:

The silver foil ceiling decoration conjured up images of a flood from above rather than a decorative addition to the bedroom!
It could’ve been slightly nearer sandy beach!

Σίγουρη επιστροφή και θα το προτείνουμε και σε φίλους.
Pros:

Η τοποθεσία είναι εξαιρετική, το ξενοδοχείο πολύ όμορφο και πεντακάθαρο και το προσωπικό είναι άρτια εκπαιδευμένο, φιλικό και ευγενικό, ιδιαίτερα ο Πάνος στην ρεσεψιόν η Αννα αλλά και όλοι οι συνάδελφοι τους, πάντα χαμογελαστοί και έτοιμοι να μας βοηθήσουν και να μας εξυπηρετήσουν!!!!!

Cons:

Θεωρούμε ότι θα ήταν καλύτερο να έχει king size κρεβάτια ή και μεγαλύτερα.

Relaxing and chilled.
Pros:

We loved our stay at Ydor Hotel & Spa by Sandglass in May. The staff, facilities and food were exceptional. We had tasty, filling breakfasts each morning and enjoyed relaxing by the pool with drinks and our books during the day. Our room was so comfortable and clean with lovely views over the water. We took advantage of the spa facilities and had a facial and massage. The hotel is close to other restaurants and cafes, so we were able to eat somewhere different each day. The bar had a great whiskey collection (according to my husband).

Cons:

There was a music speaker underneath our room which was loud in the evenings.

A fantastic stay with exceptional service, a perfect location, and staff who truly made us feel welcome.
Pros:

The property was beautiful and in an excellent location, just a 5 min walk from the port. The service was outstanding, and every member of the staff was friendly, professional, and welcoming. A special thanks to Panos, who went above and beyond to help us from the very first day. He arranged taxis for us and assisted with everything we needed throughout our stay. His kindness and professionalism made our experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommended!
