I had booked a Classic Double for three nights but noticed yesterday that a Bi-Level Duplex Suite had opened up for the next two nights. I made a new reservation for those nights and amended my original to one night figuring we would change rooms tomorrow. Surprisingly, they were able to get us into the Suite for all three nights! The rate is around 780 euros a night, which is not cheap but seems worth it in this beautiful hotel.

The grounds are spectacular. Lemon groves, tons of flowers, trees, etc. They grow their own produce and we saw eggplant, tomatoes, and more growing.

The room is beautiful and the air conditioning works well. The Wi-Fi is pretty speedy. The hotel common areas feel like a museum. So many nooks in this old monastery to relax and even though it is fully booked it feels serene. Lunch was amazing by the pool (which is huge and well attended). The pasta and pizza was made so fresh (again with produce from the garden). Breakfast is complimentary and the dining room looks beautiful. We are headed down to the private beach (it's a wood platform with umbrellas and sunbeds).

Happy to answer any questions but from being here a few hours it feels like paradise!

Edited to add final thoughts: The hotel was great the entire stay. Staff is friendly. Even though it was fully booked, we hardly saw anyone at the pool, the beach, at breakfast, or in any other areas.
