Wonderful hotel with great staff! The breakfast was excellent with many options. The room was super clean with a staff member (I think her name was Maria) making an extra effort to cheer us every day leaving some cute figures in the forms of animals made of towels in our room. Highly recommend!

Lovely, boutique sized hotel. Good sized rooms & bathroom. Comfortable fairly private balcony. Breakfast has a variety of choice. There’s a bar and option to get snacks. Short walk to a lively town with lots of restaurants, bars & shops. Approximately 10 minute easy walk to sandy beaches. Have stayed here 5 times and certainly would book again.

We stayed in Crete over New Year and visited this hotel on a day trip . It was being revamped at the time with seemingly new bathrooms judging by the number of baths placed around the reception area, and chose to come back here in summer. However, when we did we were surprised at what we encountered, having stayed in a fantastic hotel in Kato Stalos before our arrival here. This was more like a business hotel than a vacation hotel. There was very little interaction from the staff, except at breakfast. The bar shut at about 8pm, we were not aware of any meals being served in the evening, just pool bar snacks during the day. The pool area was clean but very compact. It was 30-plus degrees when we were there and the pool was in shade as the day went on and at 5:30 - when it was cool enough to do so - there was no where to sunbathe due to the high walls of the hotel. The hotel was comfortable , the breakfast substantial and tasty, the bathrooms did not look to have been refurbed by a plumber, and the place lacked a little bit of soul. The satellite tv in the room was local, not global. We were here for 5 nights and paid over £800 in June 26 but felt we had been overcharged for what we experienced. This was one of the few hotels in the resort that had a pool , which was another reason why we chose it, and if you want a quiet but expensive break with mostly older clientele then this will suit you.

Ottimo hotel

Hotel perfetto sotto tutti gli aspetti. Letti comodissimi ( muniti di topper), pulizia incessante, colazione ricchissima, massima attenzione alle esigenze dei clienti, personale cordiale e molto professionale. Possibilità di parcheggiare l'auto gratuitamente in un apposito spazio antistante l'hotel. Quando abbiamo lasciato l'hotel ci hanno regalato due bottiglie di acqua minerale per il viaggio di ritorno. Voto: 10 e lode.
