Korakia Pensione

The Korakia Pensione is one of those rare, unique and exquisite places that turned into a destination this spring - reading by the pool, sitting under the stars, and sleeping in amazing rooms (all different). The staff were extremely friendly and helpful, and the entire experience a totally relaxing getaway for the beginning of spring. I especially recommend the Mykanos and Casablanca rooms.

As a long time fan of Korakia my first stay being in 2000, I have been slightly disappointed in more recent visits. The quirky charms that came with the rooms were part of the experience when rates were 250-450 pn but now we're paying over $700 all in and you start expecting a way higher standard that really isn't there. I was in the Casablanca Suite which is one of my favorites due to it's private detached second floor location with great little kitchen, comfy bed, decent bathroom and private patio. Since my last stay they got rid of the closet (fine) and re arranged the seating to accommodate a desk with record player. Now I know the old record player thing is a fun feature you find in a lot of air bbs and such but it's getting to be a bit cliche and if a place is going to stick to that kind of feature it should have a better collection of records that are not all scratched, a better player, and maybe not taking up the best part of the room which used to have a cool sofa. I'm glad there are blinds on the windows it needed that but the blinds are cheap and they dont roll back up. I don't want to complain too much because the charm of teh place is still in tact but if prices are going to creep up like this to the point where they're competing with high end hotels then I think there has to be a step up in quality and amenities to suit. I would have liked to stay longer but not at $700 a night on a early weeknight getting to be off season. Also the kitchen no longer has dishes or anything to wash up with. The cool little shampoos are gone replaced with fixed pump action soaps, a lame lower budget feature you see in crummy hotels. Not a good trajectory overall I'm def a little bummed to see my favortite place in the desert erode in quality as prices creep up.

We loved our time at Korakia! The resort was excellent! From the morning coffee service and breakfast, beautifully appointed room and the evening movie we had a great time. Loved all the Fire and Water elements and would absolutely recommend this place for a relaxing vacation!

Amazing Property and staff! We enjoyed our six nights in a bungalow. The property is magical and all the professional staff are wonderful. Very relaxing and great location. We would wish the owners increase the breakfast options is our only wish. We will return in the future. Thank you Alex, Lisa, Valeria and Vivianna.

Websites continue to be misleading. At $900/night plus fees one expects four seasons amenities etc. This charming old motel has lovely staff and serves nice complimentary breakfast. The grounds are charming yet simple. The Churchill room was charming in its own way but set beside the morning breakfast eaters ie four feet from our door and nearest the street- really left something to be desired. No tv. Ok. Fine. An archaic bathtub and shower just kind of a bummer. Clean and comfortable bed. Few outlets within the room and none bedside. Odd. Again, charming and lovely staff. But hacking rates during tennis and coming off like a five star just feels disingenuous and we won’t return.
