Doesn't feel like 5 star hotel. I was told that there was WiFi in the room and I made it very clear that I need it as all I was looking for is few days by the beach where I could work. I was given a password for WiFi access that worked only 10% of the time I spent in the hotel. Room was acceptable but nothing special.
The food in the restaurant was in vast amounts but this was at the expense of quality. Some (eg oven fish one day) tasted awful and certainly didn't remind anything of the wonderful Greek cousine.
I really liked the staff in the coffee and cleaning ladies that were very kind and helpful.
Beach was lovely.
If it was a 3/4 star hotel (with the appropriate price it would have been 5 star rating). But if you claim to be a 5 star hotel then the expectations are much higher and and unfortunately they failed to meet them.
