Amazing hotel
This is the most beautiful hotel we have ever stayed in, and we have stayed in quite a few around the world! Everything from the staff, rooms, food, facilities were just perfect, we really couldnt fault anything.

This is a nice property in general (very well maintained gardens, nice pool) and staff was very welcoming. However, our room was a bit run down, furniture beat up and carpet with many stains. It was cold outside when we were there (September) and the only way to heat the room was a wood burning fireplace which was not my cup of tea.

Overall we had a pleasant stay at Hunters. The grounds are stunning, the restaurants on the complex are fab and all of the staff were excellent and very attentive. However I do think it was slightly overpriced and could do with a bit of a make over. Our room was right next to the breakfast courtyard (basically in the courtyard) which gave for very little privacy in the morning when guests were eating out there. It was also incredibly noisy with a water feature that ran constantly, day and night. The thatched roof provided little soundproofing. I know we booked the entry rate room but for a 5* hotel and the price we paid, you don’t expect that. The room was also quite cold and the heater didn’t seem to give off much heat, so not sure how pleasant it would be in the winter.

Breathe out and relax !
No denying the location and grounds of this property are awe inspiring ! Totally beautiful. The whole area and overall experience gorgeous. However rooms are getting very tired and facilities within the rooms tired and in need of a more high end makeover. That being said it sort of adds to the charm. Luckily they have a new GM Annelle and I think she will shake things up a bit. She sorted a service/communication issue out for us magically ..

A little piece of heaven. The grounds, the rooms, the food, the team, everything was amazingly perfect. From little surprise touches (that I won't ruin for others) to the fun and beauty of the team. This is not a hotel, this is an experience and it should not be missed. We joined for honeymoon and hope to jo you again for a special anniversary or to renew our vows, if we are lucky. Highly recommend Zianos, which again was amazing. Thank you xx
