Mukava paikka.

Aamiainen oli ihan ok, näkymä rannalle aamupalalta kaunis. Oma rantakaistale oli ihana, parista altaasta plussaa. Toinen on paremmin tuulensuojassa, joten hyvä vaihtoehto tuuliselle päivälle.

Ehkä lapset voisi jostain päin allasta vähän hyppiäkin altaaseen. Pilli soi heti jos vähän hyppäsi.

Disappointing experience

Very friendly, kind and helpful stuff.

Really really disappointed. Extremely misleading pictures when you book the room (we booked the studio with sea view, with breakfast), they show it’s right above the beach when it’s actually far away. There’s no description prior to the booking that the room is on the other side of the ‘resort’, this comes after you book the room. When I addressed this at the reception desk, they were trying to convince me that it was in the description, even when I showed them there’s nowhere such thing. When I asked them if we could go to another room that was close to the beach, they told me this side of the facility is not occupied, which wasn’t true either. Furniture were old, the bedding was dirty, swimming pool had mould around, sunbeds were wore out, in general the whole hotel had this old worn out vibe, honestly I don’t understand why they charge those rooms 200€ a night, I thought I was booking a 4 star resort when this was nothing close to it. Wouldn’t recommend it.

Really enjoyable stay

The hotel was lovely and in a great location. Room was really big and kept impeccably clean. All of the staff, from the cleaners to reception to bar staff were lovely: very friendly and helpful and made us feel very welcome. We spent a lot of time at the beach and it was beautiful: the sea was really clear and warm and we never struggled to get a sunbed. Would highly recommend getting the all inclusive too. Really good value for money! Would definitely stay here again

We really liked the bridge that linked the 2 sides to the hotel but it would be a problem for people with mobility issues as there are quite a few steps to get on and off it

Good but won't visit again

The location couldn't be any better. Good AC system and great fridge.

The hotel is listed as 5 stars, but really, it hardly is 4. It needs maintenance. Seems that it s neglected, especially the bathroom.

Great food, friendly staff & amazing beach.

The hotel always has a really good choice of food to choose from, everything tasted great and was pretty healthy. The staff were the best especially Rena, Theodwris, Stravos and the room service staff. They were super helpful and fun so me and my friend had great trip and a huge part of that was thanks to them. They also have us a good deal to upgrade to all-inclusive. Entertainment was really good and the views from the hotel were amazing. The location was good if you wanted to see a lot of Cretan culture locally, lots of local tavernas and the beach was beautiful. But also wasn’t too far from Chania city and airport. I’ve already returned here a few times and will probably come back again next time I want to visit Crete.

The view from the pool to the ocean was amazing! Was also nice to have the ocean right there. Breakfast was also excellent. Staff was very friendly. Special thanks to the bartender who brought mint from his own backyard. He was great with the customer service.

The rooms would need some updating.

Excellent option to stay to discover the west side of the island of Crete

Very nice and spacious room with balcony and sea view. Very silent. Excellent breakfast. Very good location with lots of bars, restaurants and shops nearby. Beach in front of the hotel with direct access. Very good value for money

The hotel's distance from the nearest airport is quite significant. It is recommended to rent a car. Access to hotel rooms and amenities is a bit confusing.

Breakfast not too bad but horrible noisy, waiters unkind

The location is not too bad, parking with our own car wasn't too hard, and the beds were comfortable.

The breakfast was not too bad, but the horrible noise the waiters were making with the utenslis was unbearable, and due to this noise every other guest was yelling, so the breakfast was chaotic.

Overall happy enough, some drawbacks which I have elaborated on below.

Location of the Hotel Close to beach. Booking on Booking.com meant we didn't need to pay for sunloungers and umbrellas. Near some lovely restaurants, Cactus and Raeti Taverna were two of our favorite. Facilities Pool area was nice, pool was refreshing in the heat. Staff Staff were friendly and helpful. Helpful with recommendations for excursions.

Room We were on the other side of the road to the beach which got very annoying after a couple of days of having to travel back and forth. We booked a sea view room and while yes you can see the sea from it, directly infront of the room is an unfinished building, the road and a vacant lot over which you could see the sea. Bathroom flooded everytime you use the shower which would stay wet for the day. Drinks Drinks were extremely restrictive for an all inclusive, options of beer wine and a handful of cocktails (couldn't get a mojito etc.) Food Pizza was 11€ for the margarita not included in all inclusive. Food in general was grand but lacked variety overall. We were told we couldn't bring food from the buffet to the room. Main area for dinner was very canteen like- serving dinner in the beach bar would be a much nicer setting and the facilities are there, feels like a missed opportunity. We ate our most nights as a result. Entertainment Lack of atmosphere or an obvious place to chill out and have a drink in the evenings. No live music. There is a bar beside the hotel which had live music but obviously wasn't included in your all inclusive. Overall impression The hotel calls itself 5 star, Booking.com says 4 star, felt a bit more 3.5 star all inclusive.

Beautiful food, crowded outdoor area.

We had all inclusive boarding. Wonderful first class food. I’ve never experienced such variety and great choice during any of my all inclusive stays before. Food was very tasty and presented exceptionally. We felt very spoiled during our one week stay.

The hotel is divided into two buildings by the busy road. Yes, there is a bridge building over the road but nobody uses it. If you are unlucky then you end up staying far away from the beach. The hotel has a very small area for sunbeds near the beach bar. It’s always crowded. You can stay above the road, there is another pool surrounded by concrete missing trees and nature.

Great Hotel in a great location.

The Hotel was in a very good location and the facilities were excellent. Both swimming pools were well looked after and great for families. We preferred to spend most of our time on the beach which I thought was in an ideal location and had the right number of sunbeds so as not to over crowd it. The water was shallow and safe for children and you had to go out at least 100meters before it became chest deep, perfect. The staff were excellent too, hard working and very friendly, especially reception who were exceptionally helpful for information and excursions and basically everything to do with the hotel. We were all inclusive so local drinks included were OK. But the lunch selection was very good with an ample selection of hot and cold choices in a Restaurant/Bar different and better than the evening meal restaurant.

The only downside was the breakfast/dinner restaurant which we felt was like a canteen, with coloured bucket chairs with metal tubular legs and Formica type tables. This did not feel like a nice dining experience so we ate out more than we did at the hotel, even though we were on all inclusive.

pool great, room great, cleanliness great, food below average, drinks terrible

the staff were great, the room and all areas were very clean

Sorry, the food was well below average, same breakfast and lunch everyday, the food was based on mass catering but failed to deliver the personal touch, considering the small numbers they were catering for.

lovely hotel,great staff but the beach could use a little cleaning !

very nice, clean hotel. the breakfast was very good with many options to choose from.

the sun beds at the pool were a big problem. people were reserving them as early as 7 in the morning, by 8:30 no sunbeds available and they stood empty. the staff could do more about it. the beach was not that nice, stones-bricks- leftover construction materials( it could definitely be cleaner) was the dirtiest beach in the area:(

Loved it. Great hotel. Great place. The gorge is a must visit place

I thought the hotel was excellent. The staff were all so pleasant and helpful. Hotel spotless.Had an all inclusive package and the food was really excellent. Location was great with bus to Chania nearby.

The night we arrived it was late so we decided to have a nightcap after coming in after having a bite to eat. This however was not covered by the all inclusive as it was deemed to be too late - after 11! Just thought that a bit daft! Nice area to lie out. Just thought the beach area in front of the hotel could have been cleaner. There was a dead seagull there for the week! Idyllic setting so shame not kept cleaner.
