Restia Suites

My wife and I have just returned from a week break at Restia Suites. From the moment we arrived we were made to feel welcome. The owner, Zafiris and his lovely wife Joanna met us with damp face towels and the offer of a soft drink or glass of champagne. A really nice touch. The room (405) was absolutely lovely, and had a huge bath, and we had a lovely sea view. The food was of a very high standard in both the main restaurant and the pool bar, and we were fortunate enough to dine in the Pietra restaurant on our last evening. The pool was quiet, and the whole resort exudes an air of tranquility. The attention to detail was impressive, and everything about this place is just exactly what we wanted. However, what really makes this place "tick" is the staff that Zafiris has assembled. They were, without exception, a credit to Restia and to themselves, from the owner, the waiting staff, the maintenance staff and the cleaners, all of whom works their socks off to made this a wonderful experience for their guests. Thank you so much to all of you. To Toni and her brother Bruce, to Nicos and his brother Christian and their mum Wendy, To Vivianne and Jacqui, you make this place a little slice of heaven.

Great place couldn’t fault anything about the service the food and the facilities. Not the cheapest but worth every penny of what it cost and we will certainly be returning in 2018. We paid for a private suite with pool again worth every penny my partner loved the sunbathing in peace after a hectic year at work for her and even ended up topless without any onlooking eyes!

This is our second visit, and I posted a lengthy review last time, all of which still holds up. Here's a quick summary of the highlights if you don't want to search for my review from 2016 The pool suites are fabulous. For the money, you won't get better. Very spacious, very elegant and a large private pool is well maintained and private gardens In the gym, there's a good selection of (slightly ageing) aerobic and resistance machines / free weights. There is aircon but it isn't very cool, so early morning is ideal. The main sell is the space and amount of kit - if you find yourself in there with another couple you won't have to queue to exercise. Spa The spa has an excellent range of service - sadly Alexandra, our favourite therapist from the year before has moved on, but we were still able to enjoy several treatments. Eating at the hotel remains a pleasure and we really enjoyed the Greek wine night, showcasing local food and wines and giving us the history and background of the wines being served. In between course we also got to enjoy some Greek dancing. It was a lovely night. The breakfast service is still excellent - thank you Wendy! Only request from us would be to either have Greek music or no music ... not really fans of pop. It was brilliant to see Viv, Jackie, Zafiris and of course, Eira the dog again. Every one was as friendly, helpful and welcoming as before. What can I say - we still love it and we'll be back a third time in 2018.
