This phase of the program will cover a select number of sea facing guest rooms and will run through to the end of November 2011. Since the rooms are in different wings, the refurbishment will take place wing-by-wing and will focus on the interior of the rooms thus helping reduce potential inconveniences to resident guests. Sufficient and visible signage will be visible throughout the property and all guests will receive a note from the management alerting them of ongoing works. Sarova has also assured us of their continued commitment to provide a safe, comfortable, and positively memorable experience during this period.

Join us for an exclusive show on One Voice From Africa as six wonderful guests and I listen to magnificent music performed by Mario Frangoulis - and share our 'thoughts' on this incredible Greek tenor and what he means to each of us.
