I chose to stay at the Anastasia Princess after reading some of the glowing reviews (there are a few here on AirBnb but 100’s on Tripadvisor) and this hotel met my expectations and more.
We arrived very early (about 6am, which I had forgotten to tell them, slight oversight) and were very lucky that our room was already ready and we were allowed straight in (and they really didn’t have to do that).
From the outset the welcome was warm and the stay was just idyllic. The owners’ fantastic personal relationship (two brothers) is a testament to how immaculately the hotel is run, and the care and attention to detail is evident everywhere you look. The guys actually work all day every day, even running us around personally when a driver was unavailable.
We had one of the new suites which was just beautiful (and I think next year will have access to a jacuzzi). Very clean and well-equipped and the bed was incredibly comfortable (we took note of their bed linen suppliers as they were so lovely!!).
Breakfast is delicious - lovingly cooked eggs etc, delicious fresh pastries and cakes, and fresh fruit with Greek yoghurt and all the condiments + trimmings.
The location is right on the beach so within 2 minutes you can get to a strip of lovely bars and restaurants on the sea front.
The guys also sat us down and gave us a detailed rundown of the island and helped us plan a few things - we went on a cruise around the island through them which we loved!
All in all it was just fantastic. Couldn’t recommend this hotel and it’s lovely owners enough - we will definitely be back!
