Just had a lovely week at the Peninsula Spa Resort with my adult daughters. The hotel is substantial but on different levels on a headland with the most spectacular views. Our room for the week was spacious, including 2 bathrooms and bedrooms, comfy beds meant we slept like logs. Pool facilities are great, two to choose from as well as the terrace with direct access to the sea (deep water). Lots of lovely corners to explore with great views and a lovely sea breeze. The staff were exceptional, unfortunately my disabled daughter was ill for most of the week and the staff team dealt with us with great kindness. The entertainment team focus was very much focussed on the French majority of guests, but there was an exceptional live band one evening together with a great Greek night and a fun Karaoke night. I would happily return to this lovely hotel.

One night stay
We stayed just one night as we were catching the ferry to Santorini the next morning. Sea salt pool and beach area next to hotel were excellent. Our room wasn’t too far away from these areas and room and balcony were excellent. 2 adults and 2 teenagers all thought food was good.

Great holiday!
Fantastic place to spend 8 day holiday. Great vibe and efficient service. We loved the tennis courts and swimming in the sea from the platform. We also enjoyed the themed evenings in the restaurant though we also enjoyed taking a break and eating out a few times

An excellent resort from top to bottom; reception staff, canteen/bar staff, housekeeping and grounds folks are fantastic. The entertainment in the evening and our walk-about in the evening within and outside the resort was priceless. This is a faultless resort - if I could score it more than 10/10, then I would have.

The facility is clean and well kept. However, there is a lack of staff service, there was no drink service to tables or at the pools, and little to no staff clearing tables in the dining rooms. The few staff we encountered were rude and unhelpful and groups of more than 4 couldn’t dine together. There is no evening entertainment and the pools close at 6:00 pm.

Loved how the staff was friendly. Husband and I came for our 1 year anniversary and they made it very special. Especially for the lovers bliss package. Definitely would recommend staying here. We had the private pool room which was beautiful. The only thing I will say is eventually the resort should offer a disco or something where people can dance throughout the night. They do have nightly shows/activities but not a every night disco. Overall 10/10 would recommend staying here! ☺️

The location and property is amazing. The staff are super friendly and helpful. The food was hit and miss though. Some of it was great, other not so much. Breakfast was actually my favorite. Great value for the price overall though. Oh, and please add more signage in the lobby to help first time guests navigate the property. Especially to the 200’s. There’s a sign missing right by the elevator that would be very helpful.
