I thought the place was quite nice. The food was pretty good, except for the barbecue day. There wasn't enough of it. The guides and the manager were lovely. However, I found the stay rather expensive for what it was. There were four of us women in one room, with only one bathroom. We had a problem with the door; you had to be very strong to close it, as it creaked and jammed against the floor. Our activities included two bike rides, a hike up Mount Zeus, a visit to Naxos town, and an unguided tour of the neighboring island.
Hello Olga,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback following your stay in Greece.
We are delighted that you found the place nice and that you appreciated the friendliness of the local team.
Regarding the barbecue, we are sorry that the quantity did not meet your expectations, we have taken note of this for next time.
Regarding the accommodation, we understand that the comfort of the room did not fully meet your expectations, particularly with the door and the shared bathroom.
This type of four-person configuration remains exceptional and is not our usual standard. Improvements are planned for this winter to ensure greater comfort.
Finally, the location by the sea and in a natural setting with a swimming pool is a real asset that we hope you appreciated.
See you soon for a new sporting adventure!
