This was our second stay at the Westin. Everything was excellent. A sea view is a must. The breakfast layout was very good. The only negative is that there should be a breakfast area devoted to adults only as the areas with children were very noisy. We were asked if we would like to breakfast in the "quiet area" but that was only somewhat successful as there were children in that area as well.

We came to the Western Dragonara in 2023 and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We returned again March 2025 and was not disappointed. Lovely professional and welcoming staff. Beautiful hotel in an excellent location. Always cleaning and making the hotel lovely. Plenty of fresh choice everyday for breakfast. All the staff are so friendly and chatty. Highly recommend Palios for food. We will be back for sure next year.
