Our opinion: Modern and sophisticated; an oasis of tranquillity for adults only.
If you've spent the winter daydreaming about a Greek island paradise with views to die for, the Island Hotel will deliver your fantasy. The hotel is situated in the fashionable resort of Gouves, a purpose-built, friendly village of whitewashed buildings speckling the mountainside, Gouves offers a good representation of traditional Greek tavernas, restaurants and shops along the palm-fringed promenade, overlooking the expanse of the Mediterranean.
Exuding a very grown-up atmosphere, The Island fits the bill as an adults only hotel, with sophisticated, sleek design, where squishy sofas and inviting chaises lounges team up with natural stone. Plush and inviting rooms are furnished with silk and velvet in colours inducing calm and content. Most are a few steps from the beach, many with a private hydro massage pool.
A change of scene from the glorious blue of the hotel pools could be one of the three pretty beaches nearby. But, with over sized sun beds and cushions, this may not be soon. Once your cares have floated away, and your competitive streak is stirring, tennis, volleyball, table tennis and basketball and water sports are there to restore your equilibrium. If you're missing having children around, a water park with fast flumes is not far away; sure to be plenty there.
A range of cuisine including grills, a la carte and snacks are available from the hotel's three restaurants and bars. And why not watch cooking in action at The Kitchen. Chill out in the warm dusk with a drink at the bar, before retiring to recharge for another day in paradise.
