MERAVIA Leonardo Limited Edition Adult Only

My stay at Cora Hotel & Spa was nothing short of amazing! From the moment I arrived, I felt completely welcomed and relaxed. The staff were incredibly friendly, helpful, and always had a smile on their faces - their warmth and hospitality truly made the biggest impression on me. It felt like they genuinely cared about making my stay special, and that kind of service is rare to find. The hotel itself is stunning — beautifully designed, clean, and perfectly maintained. The spa area was so peaceful and relaxing, and everything about the atmosphere helped me relax and enjoy every moment. My room was comfortable and had everything I needed, and the views were breathtaking. I honestly wish I had booked a longer stay because I didn’t want to leave. Everything was simply perfect - from the delicious food to the relaxing surroundings and top-notch service. I’m already looking forward to coming back, and I know this won’t be my last visit.

The hotel is undeniably new and beautifully designed, as expected from a five-star resort. Our room was very comfortable and surprisingly quiet, even though it was located right next to the buffet restaurant. Buffet menu was good and offered enough options. However, not providing a free daily refill of water and coffee capsules feels inconsistent with the standards of a five-star experience, especially considering the nightly rate. Housekeeping was done daily, but as others have noted, it didn’t include proper cleaning of the bathroom areas or wiping down surfaces. During a power outage, generators were activated, but unfortunately, they didn’t restore air conditioning, which made sleeping quite uncomfortable for one night. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. The beach has clear water, but the entrance is extremely slippery, and large rocks are present even in deeper areas, which can pose a risk while swimming. The sea view from the hotel is stunning, but you need to swim quite far to reach the truly turquoise waters. One aspect we particularly appreciated was the presence of “life” around the hotel. We noticed that bird nests were left undisturbed, reflecting a thoughtful approach to nature. There were also a few friendly dogs near the beach bar, and we were happy to see they were not chased away by staff. Overall, we were satisfied with our stay, but small details, like the lack of daily in-room refills and the discomfort of sleeping without AC—took away from the overall value.

This hotel has the potential to be a great hotel in a fantastic location with a superb picturesque village on its doorstep. It's easy to get to from Thessaloniki airport and it's location is simply stunning. It's also a very good looking hotel with various pools one of which is an infinity pool over looking the beach and sea below. The staff try very hard to please and are all approachable. So what stops this from being 5 stars? It's the little things, some of which are not so little. My private pool suffered from occasional bird droppings and no way to clean it. The Swifts are protected and were wonderful to watch, however for certain rooms they are a hygiene hazard. The mini bar had just 2 small bottles of water which were free and some capsules for the coffee machine, a little poor for even a Greek 5 star hotel. The tablet in the room was a waste of time as it did not work. I would rather have had a pool net which I'm sure would have been cheaper and more effective. The manager and the team here do a great job to make the hotel look as good as it does as it was flooded in April and suffered extensive damage. So let's end on some highs. Loved the choice for breakfast, loved the location and hotel amenities just tweak the little things and I would return.
