We just returned from our second visit to the resort. We previously stayed in October 2014 (booked Westin but moved to Romanos due to corporate event at The Westin) so were interested to see how the resort performed in peak season and full occupancy. We were not disappointed! The resort is stunning very well designed and never felt overcrowded. There are so many options for pools, beach, activities and dining we never stopped during our 10 days there.

We didn't experience any of the issues previously reported at Breakfast in Morias. Yes, it was busy at the peak times but the staff managed well and everything seemed fairly organized. Quality and consistency was as good as I've experienced in any resort. We were offered a more intimate breakfast for plats in the Taverna but didn't really enjoy this (food variety and quality surprisingly nowhere near as good as the main buffet). Italian restaurant was good. Flame steaks were decent .Souvlakerie was used a couple of times and good for lunch or early dinner for the kids. The only suggestion for improvement on the F&B side would be the addition of another family dining option (maybe Thai/Indian) to add some variety for families.

Given the peak season we had low upgrade expectations (I tried but failed to use SNAs), however midway through our stay we got a fantastic suite upgrade. I would add however that the standard rooms are very well appointed and would have been more than adequate.

Staff were very good; this is clearly a very well run operation that seems to cope well with the challenges of having a lot of seasonal staff. Any housekeeping or front desk requests were dealt with very quickly and efficiently. Management were accessible and very responsive. Frankly it is difficult to find fault with anything in this respect.

I would recommend getting a car to explore the surrounding villages (Pylos, Gialova, Methoni) and beach (Golden and Voidokilia). For a longer stay it was nice to get out and explore. We found the nearby beaches particular good for our toddlers as the sea at the resort was a little choppy due to the very pleasant summer breezes and made paddling for the little ones a little difficult. We hired bikes the one day - a great activity and nice way to explore the local area.

Quite an eclectic mix of clientele there during our stay. Mostly Greek during our first week due to a National holiday - very little sign of austerity during this period! The second week saw a influx of Europeans (Brits, French and a large number of Germans here for a corporate event).

No opportunity to play golf this time, but I did the Westin running route around the front nine and the course looked immaculate (I am particularly keen to play the signature 6th hole next time - stunning!)

The resort is now in its 6th year and it is maturing into a truly world-class resort and definitely my favorite *wood property. We'll be back again in 2016 for sure. Highly recommended.
