Stayed for 7 night in early September 2023 - first impression of the place was absolutely amazing. Visually, one of the more beautiful hotels I've seen. Before I delve into a deeper review, I'd like to give a special shout out to the entire hotel staff, from reception, to waiters, to housekeeping and even Vincent with his delicious coffee in the morning - without whom this hotel wouldn't be as special without. A very special thank you to Eva (we miss you!) and Matthew at the restaurant in the evenings, Dimitry at the bar and Costa at the reception - your kindness and smiles truly made our stay special. Personal tip - don't rely on the hotel's 'Guest Relations' rep for recommendations on where to go and where to eat - we had some very unpleasant experiences from some of her recommendations. Talk to Eva or Dimitry, or even the local cab drivers, for the best recommendations. The Rooms: We took a room with a swim-up. The room itself is gorgeous, and the direct access to the pool made it the best possible room. If you book this room, make sure to ask for Rooms that have sun throughout the whole day (like rooms 707 and 706) - we got 708 and only got direct sun from 14:00 until 18:00 (which falls 'lunchtime') - which was a bit disappointing considering we moved rooms due to this very issue with our first room (908). The Food: Breakfast buffet was nice, a lot of choices and fresh eggs/omelettes made to order. Though the fact that there wasn't fresh orange juice was a bit disappointing - it IS a 5 star hotel after all. Also why no toaster? That was very strange. Cereal choices were also very limited. Lunch and Dinner menus were excellent and delicious. However, two big drawbacks regarding both menus; Both menus were a bit expensive. If you're having drinks and a meal each, the bill can easily get to 60-70 euros (and when you eat lunch and dinner day after day, it adds up quite fast), and that's without anything 'fancy'. A second drawback was the lack of choices. We came to Casa Cook Samos due to our amazing experience at Casa Cook Rhodes - where you had a different menu for every day of the week! At Samos, you unfortunately have a very limited menu that doesn't change - so if you're going for longer than 3-4 days, things get old very very fast. And especially since there's only one decent restaurant (Unan) within walking distance from the hotel - otherwise you need to visit Pythagorio. Again - the food was top notch, their Risotto was one of the best I've had in my life - but such a shame it wasn't priced more fairly and had more options. My recommendation - for great food, go to Pythagorio or even Samos City and have some great local food for a fraction of the prices. Unan (not far from the hotel), Pergamonto and Onion Grill are a few of the great places we ate - all with excellent food and service. DO NOT go to Pnoe Restaurant - very low quality food. The Location The hotel isn't very far from the main city Pythagorio - either a
