The Island Hotel is a great place to spend a 1 week vacations. I will recommend it to my friends and family. Nice rooms, great amenities, excellent Breakfast, great pools, great staff, few meters from a small and almost private sea-beach. Regarding your question about VIP "treatment" during the Check-in, I must confess, the local staff didn't pay any attention to this issue. It was completely irrelevant for them. I mentioned this fact, but there was no reaction at all. Zero comment or any usual VIP compliment as usual (small, chocolate, bottle of wine, plate of fruits in the room, etc.), not to mention any upgrade offering, or at least a comment about not being able to upgrade because the hotel is full, etc.. Just nothing at all. The hotel was great anyway, but I was glad to get any upgrade as VIP, as I got used too.
