Calilo

My wife and I stayed at Calilo for 7 nights recently for our honeymoon, and from the moment we arrived to we left it exceeded all of our expectations. It was the hotel that just kept giving and truly swept us off our feet. We were greeted at the front door when we arrived and from this moment we felt like we were right at home. We stayed in 3 different suites during our stay - the Oasis suite, Afterglow suite and Passage to Love suite, and each one of these suites were extremely luxurious and elegant in their own individual ways. No words or photos will describe the incredible architecture, workmanship, art and love poured into the creation of this breathtaking resort. The staff made this experience unforgettable. There is no length that each and every one of them would not go to, to ensure that every single one of our needs were met. No task was too great or small for them. A service we were so honoured and lucky to have experienced. From the incredible service of the staff being so vigilant with my nut allergy to being always greeted and transferred to our rooms. Again swept off our feet with each and every single person we met. A few special mentions: Laura (and Chantelle the great dane) was always waiting smiling with her warm, infectious personality and kind-hearted nature which made us right at home the entire time, each time we met we walked away smiling and laughing. Joanna- An incredible restaurant manger who we grew very fond of with her exemplary attention to detail and great sense of humour (always making us laugh) who ensured everything was as how we wished and more, an incredible manager who is the heart of the restaurant. Giannis- We have never met a waiter with such a fountain of knowledge about all types of dishes and drinks as Giannis. He was so helpful with everything and it felt like he was one of our own friends dining with us. A waiter who would go out of their way to ensure your dining needs were being met in every way possible! Mike- we were so fortunate to meet such an incredible talented, mixologist who truly taught and showed us the true beauty and art of cocktail making .... and wow we have now know we have had the best cocktails we have ever tasted. Along with his electric personality this was truly an incredible experience in itself, sitting at the bar watching Mike do what Mike does best. Even after we exhausted his incredible menu, he was able to create new ones specifically to our taste, which were OUT OF THIS WORLD. Philip - Philip looked after us during our fine dining experience at Ches (the resort's second luxurious fine dining restaurant) and provided top quality service with his team with some very unique and delicious dishes. He also had a wealth of knowledge about what wines to pair with what dishes which we found fascinating. George - one of the sweetest and kindest waiters we had the pleasure of having for several nights. George always brought a very friendly and humorous vibe to dinner which w
