The property in impeccably designed and maintained. This is my third time there and they never disappoint. Nomads took an excellent care of you. Kasandra was very attentive to all our requests and made all desired arrangements for us. The rooms were very comfortable, large and clean. The views from the balcony are breathtaking. All restaurants were very tasty and great professional staff. We are very pleased with our vacation and can’t wait to get back next year.
