Starwood Hotels and Resorts include only their finest properties in ‘The Luxury Collection’. This is one of them.It faces the island of Spinalonga, whose 16th century fortress evokes Venetian times. The Turks were also once masters of Crete, so the Italianate and Moorish touches of the decor are entirely appropriate.
The accommodation is amazing – even the ‘standard’ rooms, grouped in low-rise clusters of seven bungalows, measure 39m2 and have a luxuriously furnished veranda or terrace with seaview. All the superior bungalows, suites and villas have pools – there cannot be many ‘hotels’ with 106 private infinity pools in addition to communal ones! A panoramic lift takes you down to the beach, where the 3-level spa is a sanctuary for the senses.
Fine dining, quality shops, even a wedding chapel, are other features. And don’t think that children are not welcome! They have a club with playground and pools, even kids’ menus. This is a palace straight from heaven.
