Beautiful place on the side of the cliffs, with direct access to a sandy beach. More than 20 thermal swimming pools, saunas and other facilities, restaurants, cafés. Absolutely stunning!

My issue with the place was their accessibility. Which they advertised so much on their website. Well, I wouldn't call it at all accessible. We arrived with a person in a wheelchair, paid the entrance fee, someone even drew on the map the route we could take with the wheelchair and the pools which are accessible.

Well, the ground that was marked as accessible is clearly not meant for wheelchairs, as it is not even, and I barely managed to push it through to the first pool which was marked accessible.

When we arrived at the pool, and asked about the hoist to lower down people into the pool, the staff told me that it was broken. No one even bothered to mention this at the entrance!

Also they mention a wooden deck which enables wheelchair accessibility (to a degree) to the beach. Yet again, nowhere to be found.

I know I am talking about a pool resort on an island, but we specifically went to this place because of the accessibility they mentioned on their website.

Stunning place, but not at...

BE WARNED

They charge you for ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING.

Be sure to take a towel and more importantly a stupid shower cap to the pools. Lockers also swallow your euros.

Nothing was explained to us. Towel hire (€8) and buying a shower cap (€2.5) are at the far end of the site at the back of the Efesto (no.12 on the site map) which seems a stupid place to put them even if they do charge you your right kidney to hire one.

We haven’t gotten to food yet but we know this will probably also cost us a small mortgage.

Beach chairs ARE included.

It’s a shame because the site is beautiful and they could do so much more with its design (I’m an architect), as well as just making the whole experience more inclusive for guests.

Fabulous spot. All naturally powered by thermal springs. Mature gardens and lots of small pools and things to explore. Sign posting within the site is also terrible so don’t get your map wet!

Tickets were €38 per person. Wouldn’t have been so bad if we had had a towel and hat thrust at...
