We booked Nikki Beach Porto Cheli expecting the brand’s promised quality and standards, but our experience was extremely disappointing. 1. The rooftop balcony furniture and jacuzzi were not just worn — they were clearly old, damaged, and unacceptable for a hotel in this price range. 2. The jacuzzi was dirty on our arrival even after we specifically requested before arrived an extra cleaning. Thi...

Updating my review based on Hotel’s Response to first posting of my review. My bathroom smelled like cigarettes when I got checked in. I addressed it with the front desk, who quickly got the room smell refreshed. However, when I addressed it I was met with comments such as “that’s not possible, there are smoke censors in the room” as opposed to an expected 5-star hotel response such as “we apolog...

Very nice hotel with fantastic view on the marina and generous size of the room with large bathroom and more than enough space for a family of three or even four and a fantastic view from the terrace / balcony on Porto Heli Marina. Good buffet for a boutique hotel, the dinner at the dolce vita was very good as well with a fantastic sunset view. The beach unfortunately is not clean (too much seawee...

My recent stay at this hotel was nothing short of perfection. From the moment we arrived, we were treated to the highest standards of hospitality, and it truly felt like a five-star experience in every way.

Beautiful location in Porto Heli, and our beachfront pool suite was spacious and clean. Staff was friendly and helpful. The rooftop bar is a highlight – amazing view and vibe. Some downsides: The room lacked surfaces to place personal items, and on the terrace there was only one small umbrella – not enough shade during the hot day. A larger umbrella or proper sun protection (like a retractable aw...
