Perfect Family Retreat

During our stay, the cozy pool area was a haven for my kids to unwind. They loved swimming and playing while I could relax and enjoy the tranquil atmosphere. The layout of the cottages also allowed for some privacy while keeping us close to where the children could play, making it a perfect family retreat.

Our cottage was good—spotlessly clean and well equipped with everything we needed. The stylishly renovated bathroom and the comfortable bed made it feel like a home away from home. We appreciated the lovely linen and the privacy it offered, enhancing our overall experience.

Although the restaurant offered delicious meals, I did find the dining service could be a bit slow at times.

I had a fantastic stay at Eleonas, particularly enjoying the warm hospitality from Manolis and the staff. The cottage was a bit small initially, but the larger one we moved to was perfect for our family. While the food and activities were excellent, the inconsistency of beach options due to lack of shade was a slight drawback for us.
