Find 5 Star Hotels in Alopronia

"We stayed two nights at Calilo and I honestly don’t even know where to start. This place is stunning. From the moment you walk in, you’re surrounded by crystal-clear water, golden sand, and these incredible cliffs — it’s like a dream. We learned while we were there that it took 20 years to build Calilo, and you can feel it in every detail. The whole property is full of artwork, hand-carved stone, and beautiful mosaics. It’s not just a hotel – it feels like you’re staying inside a gallery blended perfectly with nature. We travel quite frequently and this is arguably the most beautiful hotel we have ever stayed at. We received a complimentary room upgrade and loved it! It had a ‘pond’, which was really a private pool and a terrace overlooking the beach. Just gorgeous! The staff deserves a huge shoutout. Every single person we met was friendly, genuine, and went out of their way to make sure we were happy. From little surprises in the room to great tips about the island, it felt like they really cared about our experience. The bar manager and tender went above and beyond - even blending fresh mango just for our drinks! Calilo isn’t just a place to stay — it’s an experience. We left feeling completely refreshed and already planning when we can come back. If you’re thinking about it, book it. You will not regret it. We will definitely stay for longer next time!"

"Feels like they have invested more money into marketing than ensuring the accommodations are actually ready for guests. On a very remote, rugged part of the island and they are still doing construction to expand the property. Felt more like glamping than a five star hotel. If you stay here, you need to be ok with small bugs coming into the room, water potentially coming into the room if conditions are stormy, etc. You're out there with the elements which is great, but coining this as "raw luxury" has the potential to be misleading. Food is great (the breakfast is fantastic), but 2-3x the price of local restaurants. The resort is remote and we started to feel a bit guilty eating meals there rather than supporting local businesses. When we had issues come up the customer service response was very helpful - you can tell they are really trying to make this resort work. Unfortunately we were not impressed with the cleaning staff as they would only make the bed - no replacing cups in the minibar or taking our trash out. You should wait a year or two while they work out the kinks of being a new hotel. Don't let yourself get too swayed by Condé Nast lists and their strong PR coverage. "
