Staff were ill equipped , poor communcation skills and customer service. They clearlydid not speak good english so lots of requests were lost in translation, even the receptionist appeared not to understand what we were saying. Nice location but would not rate this as being a 6 star resort

Beautiful property but too many young children
Beautiful property and grounds, super friendly and helpful staff, and amazing food at all restaurants. However, for us this place was too family friendly. So many young children screaming and crying everywhere. We didn’t have a single meal from breakfast to dinner where children weren’t yelling and running around.
Even the adult pool had children at it and staff didn’t enforce anything. If you’re a family with young children this place is perfect for you! But if you’re a couple or adult friend group, this place likely won’t be the relaxing place you likely have in mind.

The hotel is unique property set in a stunning location on the hillside, a little tricky to find, but it is a real oasis of calm and quality in a rural setting.
There is a very relaxed vibe and it will be hard to single out anything but needed improving.

Beautiful hotel a few km outside Monemvassia. Lovely pool area. High quality rooms - really well appointed.
Excellent breakfast.
Note however that the hotel is a 5-10 minute drive from the nearest town - the last km up a narrow lane. Prices of food and drink on site are significantly higher than the local norm

The staff, the location, the food - everything was wonderful. We didn’t want to leave! There’s no easy way to get to town if you don’t have a car so we just stayed on the property for our 2 day stay, which was just fine with us. We took a tour of the gardens/mansion and laid by the pool. We enjoyed their complementary breakfast both days and dined at Mouries. The other restaurants/tavernas were not open yet this early in the season. Be sure to check/book their activities we wanted to do the wine tasting but this had to be booked with 48 hrs notice.

This is an amazing resort hotel which is a castle. Our room was pretty incredible with a sitting room and bedroom. Everyone who works there is really nice and there are many things to do including activities (for adults and kids), swimming pool, walking around, etc.
And the food is really excellent and I would eat there versus in town.

A special place with a special and unusual atmosphere
A little more generosity from the staff would have been helpful
Little things like being unclear about the cost of crackers and wine that were on the table are not appropriate for a hotel of this level

Kinsterna Hotel was the most beautiful property we stayed at during our trip to Greece. They have amazing amenities and wonderful pools, a fantastic breakfast and a helpful staff, and a great on site dinner. I suggest you call ahead to get directions up the mountain as Google maps may take you to a dirt road nearby fields, and you will need to turn around .
