Most suites boast impressive sea views, private pools, and outdoor decking or terraces. Standard amenities include air-conditioning, smart TVs, free Wi-Fi, minibars, Nespresso coffee machines, beach towels, bathrobes, and slippers.

4. Dining Experience
The culinary journey at Koia is a highlight, centered around the Thyme Restaurant. It offers a casual yet chic fine dining experience, serving Greek and Mediterranean cuisine with an emphasis on nutritional dishes, locally sourced ingredients, and vegetables grown in the resort's own garden. Vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options are readily available.
Breakfast is described as varied and plentiful, offering a blend of traditional buffet choices (including an olive-oil station) and à la carte options, which can be enjoyed in-suite or as a unique floating breakfast in private pools. For dinner, guests can savor a four-course à la carte menu, allowing them to choose from a selection of salads, starters, main courses, and desserts, including daily specials.
The Elixir Bar is the resort's concept cocktail bar, known for its creative concoctions using natural flavorings, homemade liqueurs, and a strong selection of herbal and alcohol-free drinks, alongside local wines. Light "mezze" style meals are served throughout the day at the Pool Bar and Restaurant.

As a Michelin Key Selected, 5-star luxury resort, Koia All Suite Wellbeing Resort operates at a higher price point, offering an "unparalleled luxury" experience. While specific room rates vary, the overall guest sentiment indicates that the exceptional service, stunning facilities, and unique wellbeing philosophy make it well worth the cost. City taxes apply, varying seasonally from EUR 4.00 per night (Nov-Mar) to EUR 15.00 per night (Apr-Oct).
8. Common Complaints
Given the overwhelmingly positive feedback, common complaints are notably scarce. One minor point mentioned by a guest was the "no easy access to self help to further water" despite complimentary water being provided. This indicates a high level of guest satisfaction with very few recurring issues or criticisms.
