This hotel is amazing, offering stunning views and a lovely pool area. Although the beach is a little rocky near the shore, it becomes more sandy as you swim out further. The food is superb, and the atmosphere is incredibly peaceful. The rooms are clean and modern, and the staff is extremely helpful and polite. I accidentally left my Kindle in my room, but they were kind enough to arrange its delivery to my next destination. I would definitely choose to stay here again.

Our experience at Cavo Olympo was absolutely amazing. The hotel is situated right along the coastline, allowing for breathtaking views of the sea from above. The scenery is truly remarkable and evokes a sense of tranquility and calmness. Additionally, the hotel provides numerous outdoor areas where you can unwind and appreciate the view, ensuring that you never feel bored. The presence of an infinity pool even made me prefer swimming there rather than in the sea, which unfortunately had a rocky beach that wasn't very enjoyable. Another standout aspect of Cavo Olympo was the exceptional food. As self-proclaimed food enthusiasts, we eagerly anticipated the chef's daily surprises. However, one aspect that didn't quite meet our expectations was the coffee. On the bright side, the service was superb, with waiters who were incredibly polite and eager to assist. This place is truly a haven for couples seeking a romantic getaway. Thank you, Cavo, for an unforgettable experience!

I had an incredible time at this hotel! The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, and the atmosphere was so peaceful and laid-back. I went with a friend, but this resort is ideal for couples. The food was delicious, and the drinks were reasonably priced. Each morning, the breakfast buffet offered a variety of different items, which was a pleasant surprise. The rooms were spacious and had fantastic amenities. I would absolutely recommend this place to my friends and family, and I can't wait to visit again in the near future.

This beach is a great place to unwind and enjoy yourself. After participating in the Olympus Marathon, we chose to stay here and it was fantastic. The breakfast buffet was delightful, the other food choices were tasty and served in generous portions. The staff was incredibly helpful, and they even offered an early breakfast box for the day of our race!
