Wonderful Relaxing Afternoon at MBR
Seven years in the making - I offer my congratulations
The Mandraki Beach Resort nestled in Mandraki Bay has been a labour of love and perseverance for owners and Hydra residents, Arthur and Janis Fitzwilliam. Much anticipated, after seven years, the resort in all aspects is fully open and for me, it is one of the most relaxing treats on Hydra. I sincerely applaud the results.
The hotel rooms along the back of the beach are beautifully appointed with every complimentary convenience, each with their private, shaded courtyard and large Jacuzzi. The tower suites offer not just extra space but quite remarkable views.
The new, excellent, drought-resistant planting already softens the walks and walls. It bodes well for a really sumptuous display next year.
The sandy beach, I am already familiar with. Its comfortable beds, set well apart so your not right on top of your neighbour, are just as inviting as previous years. Melodic music joins with the murmur of friends chatting and the happy laughter of children enjoying the gentle sandy slope into the enticing shallow sea.
Lunch at the Captain's Restaurant was delicious and viewing the work of Bea Bonafini in the new gallery in the main tower next to reception added another dimension to the conversation.
But for me, all of the above is really enhanced by the excellent friendly staff, led by the indomitable Desi who as general manager oversees everything to ensure the highest quality of service.
I am so happy for Arthur and Janis, and to have experienced first hand, the reality of their vision having come to fruition.
