I can't say enough great things about our stay at Sea Sound - White Katikies. The PRIVATE, QUIET property is absolutely gorgeous with blooming gardens, beautiful villas, a crystal clear pool, private beach and the most AMAZING staff you could find anywhere!
Upon arrival, staff greeted us and helped us take our luggage to our villa. The villa was just gorgeous - simple decor, fantastic architecture overlooking a beautiful garden. Our three bedrooms were built underground to stay cool during hot days, yet they had windows in each room so there was plenty of light. These rooms were so quiet and peaceful! Upstairs was a lovely living room, kitchen and small balcony. Two unique bathrooms were perfect for our family of seven.
Well lit paths led you through the gardens and through the most clever tree tunnel we had ever seen. At night the gardens are magical with little solar lights lighting up the entire area.
The pool was so clean and had an abundance of chairs, napping beds and lounges. A concrete walkway allowed you to sit right by the sea. If you wanted to venture onto the little private beach, you will find it so delightful with lounges and umbrellas right by the water. They even have water shoes since the area is naturally rocky. We walked up to a nearby popular beach, but headed right back to our private beach. Other beaches are close by and they have great bikes for you to borrow at no charge. A five minute bike ride and you are at Vlachada Beach which is beautiful as well.
The staff is the best!! From the receptionist to the managers, everyone is so so so attentive and helpful. We met the owner, Annie, and she is such a gem! Her architect husband designed the villas and the pride in his work shows everywhere. Nothing was dirty or soiled, nothing was broken - everything in pristine condition.
The food at the little restaurant was spectacular! We had breakfast there each morning and had dinner there twice as well. We had a large group of seven and everyone loved their food! Being able to eat outside was just such a treat!!! We took a special liking to George who worked at the restaurant/bar. What a kind, helpful man with a genuine willingness to help each and every guest. We will miss him!!!!
Almost all of our family works in the guest services/hospitality business so trust me when I say we watch, observe and evaluate everything when we stay at a venue. Sea Sounds is second to none.
