From the moment we arrived the staff were excellent. Very helpful throughout our stay. Reception staff were fantastic. Arranging our packed lunch for trips and booking restaurants. All staff in all restaurants were very professional and the selection of food was very good. The bar staff in all the bar areas were very polite and the service was great. The only area that needed a little more attention was around the beach. Although in fairness not all areas were open.

The hotel was an oasis, and we felt very much at home. The people at the hotel all greated us with "Welcome home" The people working at the hotel were nice, and we experienced that tipping was extremely hard to do - when we were ready to give tip for a service, the person we wanted to tip was already gone... Seemed as if nobody wanted to advocate for any tips. The hotel was very nice, the buffets had a big variation, and each night we were welcomed with different themes at the evening buffet. The pools were also nice. When we arrived we were told that they had a full hotel, with only the rooms that were being renovated empty - but during our stay we felt it like there were not thay many people at the hotel, there weren't any places that felt crowded, or anything... Thumbs up, and beste recommendations for all to go the the Calimera Blend Paradise! :)
