We spent a wonderful 4 nights at the hotel before moving to another part of the island. It is excellent. The staff are superb; the food is delicious, especially breakfast, and all tastes very homemade. The boat trip was really enjoyable too. Highly recommend.

Beautiful location and facilities. The apartment we stayed in was good but I little dark. Staff were almost all excellent one or two less helpful. Not very nice to see staffs dogs being taken to do dog business on the tennis court the day we were planning to play tennis. Not a good look. Staff around main pool excellent.

Absolutely Perfect – 4 Days of Pure Heaven Emelisse Nature Resort exceeded every expectation and delivered a flawless experience from start to finish. The staff were genuinely warm, attentive, and professional, making us feel welcome and cared for at every moment. The dining experience was exquisite—each meal was a delight, featuring fresh, flavorful dishes in a setting that felt like paradise. The cleanliness throughout the resort was impeccable, and the attention to detail in the rooms and common areas reflected true pride in service. Whether lounging by the pool, relaxing in our beautifully appointed room, or enjoying the stunning natural surroundings, every moment felt like pure heaven. Truly an unforgettable stay—we can’t wait to return!

Lovely hotel, breakfast, pool area. Service/communication lets the place down. Example - requested to leave from at 1pm - agreed, called them back to ask someone to collect luggage at 1pm, then told needed to leave at 12pm, changed mind and said we could leave at 1pm, returned to room at 12.30pm and the cleaner was in there stripping the bed... We arrived at the restaurant for dinner at 7, asked for table, told they were full but with hesitation said they would fit us in at 7.45. Returned at 7.45 and the restaurant was less than 50% occupied all evening. Waitress was untrained - put our bread directly on the table.

The actual hotel was lovely and the location excellent. The ladies at breakfast and who served in the reception bar were also 5*. Unfortunately the service at the pool bar did not live upto our expectations when booking. We are three times and on all occasions the orders were wrong and in one instance our meal at dinner took 3 hours to arrive, with no apologies. The staff around the pool had no urgency, they definitely needed the ladies down there to sort them out.

This is a lovely place to stay just make allowances for the slightly chaotic state of the reception. Otherwise the restaurant is lovely with great food, enormous portions. The swimming pools are wonderful and beautifully set up. We didn’t visit the spa so can’t comment. Fiskardo is a charming village to visit with regular shuttles from the hotel.
