Amazing stay at The Island Concept! The staff were wonderful, the service was really exceptional. From the front desk, to poolside, to the restaurant, everyone we came in contact with was lovely and helpful. The property is absolutely stunning, room was modern and very clean. I loved that you could order food and drinks poolside and on their little beach, through the app. So convenient!

Liked: Cleanliness
Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The bathroom in the room has a rain shower that constantly floods the bathroom floor. The shower and bathroom floor are one. There is a glass door that only covers half the shower. Water leaks from the showers exposed door less wide open area. Also from under the glass due to no rubber at the bottom. I took a very horrible spill that could have been a very bad result. I landed backwards on my wrist and bottom. Had to wear a splint for 3 weeks and ruined my vacation. i notifyed the staff they were helpful with bandaging and offered to take me to a local hospital. The manger unfortunately totally avoided me. I wrote a letter to him upon departure but he insteed answered the letter taking no accountability for this faulty bathroom layout saying nobody was complaining about this situation with the bathrooms. This is very unprofessional in that Yes someone fell. And yes if the showers did not flood I would not have fallen. The bathroom is super slippery with the resorts slippers.

Fantastic stay at The Island Concept. Food, staff and atmosphere all first class. The only thing that let it down was a miscommunication and high charge for late check out (despite nobody moving into our room until the following day). Not enough to ruin a great stay however and we would highly reccomend.

Absolutely amazing hotel and staff - very calm and quiet atmosphere and nothing was too much trouble for them. The only one tiny annoyance was there were often kids running around and jumping in the pool making noise etc. - we believe this used to be adults only as we’re sure it was when we booked? - it’s a shame as somewhere so small and with such aspirations of honeymoon destination really should be adults only in order to get the complete tranquil experience.

Small fantastic location right over the sea with a small private beach, excellent on every aspect, from the architecture to the furniture, excellent restaurant and breakfast but above all fantastic personnel, very friendly, present but not invasive, ready for every need. Definetely one of the best places I've been in the recent years. Special mention for the bartender Vangelis and high - standard drinks.

There is nothing wrong with the hotel. This is a perfect place for a vacation, from the architecture to the service to the cleaning level and first of all for the exquisite personnel, polite and professional, invisible but always there, ready with a smile. Great restaurant for breakfast, pool or beach service and dinner. I will go back for sure, no matter if but only when. Thank you to everyone there.

Clean, New, Private

The property is new, clean, and quite small. It almost a private and exclusive feel to it. Our deluxe room had a great view of the bay and was clean and modern with a spacious tile bathroom. The pool is large and heated and there's also a private beach. The hotel is located very close to Agios Nikolaos, although due to logistics, it's required to take a car to get there. The town is laid-back, but has a lot of restarants and shopping.

The staff at this property are incredible, they are attentive and enthusiastic while being respective of your privacy/space. The facilities (and toiletries) are outstanding and constantly monitored. We gather it hasn’t been open long so there may be some processes/aspects to improve; the restaurant menu is v limited and the private hot tubs are freezing cold, however the overall experience was wonderful. Views are exquisite. Thank you to you all once again.
