The property was peaceful and serene. The staff were incredible and very hospitable, we absolutely enjoyed our time at Pnoe. The resort was clean and up to date. Definitely should consider dinner at the resort’s restaurants, the food was fresh and locally sourced. Would recommend if you’re looking to disconnect and be pampered.

Unbeatable service and perfect sunsets
The balance between relaxed and thoroughly attentive service is very well delivered. They went above and beyond with several touches.
The room with the private pool was perfect but the highlight was the amazing food and drinks served in beautifully chilled surroundings. Always plenty of space to get a bed by the pool or the beach. The beach was a particular highlight - the hotel has a private spot next to a public beach which gives it a nice atmosphere. The sunsets watching planes land were fantastic.
As a couple we usually never eat in the hotel but the food was so good and varied we only ventured out one night. The seafood was especially delicious.

The Hotel is really nice and service has been good. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The room is equipped with everything you need. The private pool is really a nice advantage.
However the storage space is rather limited in the Breeze Suite. Next time we would book the Breathe Suite which seems to have a little dressing room. Both restaurants are good. You have a nice variety of dishes in case you book the half-board. Especially the breakfast is really outstanding.
What we didn’t like about the restaurant was the dresscode for dinner. Usually 5* Hotels enforce a dresscode for dinner. Which usually requires long trousers for men and closed shoes. However at no one seemed to care. Guests wore shorts and Flip Flops for dinner. This is quite disappointing for a hotel of this category.

Beautiful property right on the beach! Staff was very helpful, friendly and professional. The room with private pool was spacious, very well appointed, and clean. The beach had comfortable beach beds with umbrellas and the beach was quiet and private. (Due it the proximity to the airport you do see and hear the planes taking off and coming in. It didn't bother us, but just note that does happen througout the day.) The bonus of being able to order a drink and food from your beach bed was great too.
There are 2 on site restaurants; one has a beautiful breakfast with an array of foods I couldn't even begin to recount. Dinner selection was fair and also very good.
Rooms electronics/lights/curtains are all operated via the app you load on your phone - very high tech and easy to manipulate.
This is a very high end resort but has a quaint, small feel to it which adds to it's appeal. I highly recommend.

The hotel is ideal for a luxurious 5 star relaxing break. We loved that it was adults only so it was quiet, and the big highlight was a private pool! There are always sun loungers available by the beach and main pool as well. The bed is very comfy and you can request a pillow from the pillow menu. I did find the planes taking off quite noisy but it wouldn’t stop me from returning. There is a private section of a public sandy beach with comfy loungers and cute crochet umbrellas. However, large pebbles as you walk into the sea can be awkward getting in and out. As we booked half board, we were able to have a three course meal at either Anasa or Thymises. The food is very high quality and large portions and the staff are super friendly and professional. I didn’t get everyone’s names but Christos and Ioanna were particularly nice and helpful. You make restaurant reservations on the app, which also controls the room lights etc and live chat to reception via WhatsApp. The breakfast buffet was incredible with lots of choice!! The cakes are amazing and I wish they served them in the restaurant in the evening. There is a separate egg menu that you request via a waiter to cook in the kitchen (you don’t have to pay extra). There is a cafe and shop opposite the hotel where we bought some large bottles of water for the room and snacks. There are a couple of shops 10mins walk away for souvenirs. The bracelet welcome gift and free 20 min dry flotation therapy session was a nice touch.
