Guest Comments Highlights 2025
Thank you for everything! I couldn’t imagine spending this week in any other way with anyone else. Each day was filled with great views, tasty food, and lots of fun! If I ever come back (which I hope to do), I wish for it to be with these same 3. I will need to have a rematch with stewardess as she is surprisingly good at cards!
Guest Comments Highlights 2025
Thank you guys so much for an amazing week! Without y’all this week would have been nowhere near as much fun. Every new island was an awesome adventure, the food was always amazing, and everything else I needed was provided, from a new drink to a clean room. You guys are awesome and I hope the next groups are as fun as us for you.
GUEST COMMENTS 2024 HIGHLIGHTS
Thank you to all crew,
we had the best and most relaxing week on the Babalu. We loved seeing beautiful, secluded beaches across the Cyclades. It was a week of smooth sailing. We ate like Queens and Kings and loved all of Cooks creative Greek meals – our favorite was brownies and pastitsio! Hostess always took great care of us with coffee, drinks and pillows We appreciated you checking in on us so frequently and watching out for us on the paddleboards. This was a magical week for our family, and we are so grateful for the experience! Hope to return next year!
