Just finished a stay at the resort.

I'll add more details when I get home, but a few overall impressions below:

Overall, the resort is "nice". However, I wouldn't go out of my way to seek out to come to this property. I'm not sure why Conde Nast has included this on their Gold List - makes me think twice about their ratings

The "king" bed is really just two twin beds pushed together - very uncomfortable to have that crack in the middle of the bed.

Restaurants in the resort are fine - noting to write home about, but serve good food - note that the prices are horrifically overpriced - $7 for water, $14 for a glass of cheap Greek wine, $15-20 for very small appetizer places and $30-40 for entrees.

The town of Plaka next door is cute. Food quality there is very very average. There is a very nice wine/coffee bar at the beginning of the town called Nautilus (cash only).

I'll add more later.
