  : The nature around the spa is beautiful, and the only positive point I can think of.
  : This is undoubtedly the most overrated hotel I've ever stayed in. The food at lunch and dinner was abysmal, and the worst I've had in Greece. Tastless at best, revolting at worst, and the a la carte menu never changes. Unfortunately, there are not many restaurant options around the spa, so given the rainy weather we were held hostage to its "cuisine ", resulting in my friend getting food poisoning. The service is also nowhere near a 5*. While many of the staff did try their best, some of them desperately need retraining. Eg: when I asked one of the staff where the hiking trail was, she told me she "didn't have time" to explain. The cleaning lady also woke us up one morning, despite the DND sign clearly being on. A lot of small things, which don't add up to a professional 5 star. The spa treatments were overall underwhelming, perhaps because I regularly frequent these types of spas. However, what I found astonishing is that they do no ask female customers if they're comfortable with male therapists, and simply try to impose them upon you by surprise. This happened to my friend, and I immediately told the spa receptionist I only wanted female therapists for myself. She assured me that I would only be booked with them, and half an hour before my massage she informs me that actually it would be taking place with a male therapist. I obviously cancelled it, but was disappointed as I'd been waiting and looking forward to it.

  : The hotel is beautifully situated right in the centre of Mystras. We first visited just after it opened several years ago and it was lovely this time to see how the trees and shrubs have grown up, making the hotel blend beautifully with the landscape. The bedrooms were very comfortable with great beds and a fabulous shower. The spa was very welcoming and the breakfast ample and tasty.
  : As last time, we visited in the spring and the spa pool was only open inside .. the outside was closed over and I can see why heating it would have been prohibitive, but given that, i dont see why they didnt build a bigger indoor pool. Swimming in the admittedly very stylish pool is quite difficult! Otherwise all the spa facilities were excellent and well maintined.
