Ydor Hotel & Spa by Sandglass

We had a good arrival with welcoming staff. The lobby, pool area and restaurant are beautiful and you can easily walk to nearby restaurants and shops. Everwhere else is only accessible by taxi. Our suite with a private pool was on 2 floors- so a duplex. The pool was not private. Basically there was one pool between 2 suites with a dividing wall in the pool. If you want total privacy this room does not provide it. There are no heated pools here. The decor was lovely. Great sheets but small scratchy towels - not worthy of a luxury hotel. The hotel has been sold and is no longer owner run. This manifested itself in a few ways but one was when we asked for a late check out. We were only given an hour extra and after that it was all payable. We were told this was corpoate policy. We had paid Euro 850 per night and i was curious to know if the room was sold for tonight - that would have justified the mean late check out policy. It was available at a price of Euro 437! I was not happy. Such a shame that when hotels are sold they are more corporate and greed steps in! I did have a great facial and massage. We chose this hotel over the One and Only as the reviews had been so good and the rate was better. Would we come here again? Not sure.

Sarah and I had such a fantastic holiday in Kea. Such a great place for a short break — We stayed in the Hydra suite. It was fantastic but the best part was the friendly service of Mariana, Anna, Mohamed, George, Yousef, Mickash and all the team. We loved our stay!

We enjoyed our stay at this beautifully styled hotel. Stunning views from our room, from breakfast & from the infinity pool all overlook a beautiful bay. The rooms are spacious and comfortable with elegantly styled artistic interiors. Staff at reception are delightful. Thank you Eleni. And the breakfast staff are also a pleasure. This hotel is a pearl in Kea.

Beautiful scenery, beautiful rooms, beautiful food. Located a short ways away from the port to get to the island of Kea, and a short drive from everything the island has to offer the hotel is in a perfect, picturesque spot. A sliver of paradise. Went early in the season and felt like the Mikes and the rest of the staff were great! 10/10 will do again

George (Manager) and the rest of the team receive 10 shiny stars. Beautiful, comfortable, quaint, fantastic, marvelous, stylish, sophisticated design, welcoming and more. My best find for 2024!!!!

Superb place absolutely loved it, stunning setting made even better by the fantastic hospitality and warm welcome from the staff. Rooms are brilliant and the view was spectacular. A mention to Mikes, Efi, Chrysson and Taulant. Absolute legends who were so nice to us all week, our holiday and memories truly made and enhanced by their hospitality and friendliness. We will be back.
