Korakia Pensione Review

If you can handle the Korakia's rigid deposit-cancellation policy, you're in for a special stay at this Greek-Moroccan oasis, a few blocks from Palm Canyon Drive. This former artist's villa from the 1920s draws a hip international crowd of artists, writers, and musicians. The simply furnished rooms and spacious suites are peaceful and private, surrounded by flagstone courtyards and flowering gardens. Rooms are divided between the main house, a second restored villa across the street, and guest bungalows. Most have kitchens; many have fireplaces. All beds are blessed with thick duvets, and the windows are shaded by flowing white-canvas Mediterranean-style draperies. You also get a sumptuous breakfast served in your room or poolside. Korakia is Greek for "crow," and a tile mosaic example graces the pool bottom. Note: You must pay a deposit to book a room, there's a 2-night minimum on weekends, and you have to give at least a 72 hour cancellation notice (15 days' advance notice for holidays) or you'll lose your deposit.

Facilities:
2 Heated Pools, Spa, WiFi, Complimentary Breakfast, Afternoon Tea Service, Weekend Yoga

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
