Beautiful view and clean beach, but the hotel building was outdated. The air conditioner dripped all night, and the noise from the neighbouring room via internal door was unbearable. It ruined my sleep quality.

This is a budget friendly hotel with a great sea view for couples and families. A minor issue is that the hotel was a little outdated and needed some minor aesthetic repairs but the staff was friendly and eager to help. It is a multi level hotel with amazing views of the sea and mountains from any level with lounge, bar and resto areas. Access to the immense pool and private beach were easy with showers and w/c close by and lounge chairs with umbrellas. The complimentary breakfast was delicious and with variety, surprisingly. We booked the standard sea view room which was spacious with extra beds and seating. We were on the fourth floor centred over the pool and straight sea view…stunning! Two issues that irked me was the wifi connection not working while in our room but good connection while sitting on our balcony and the mosquito plug repellent necessary for the room. I have to say that it was very unfortunate that Covid rules had to be applied and there was no music and activities which I believe would have impacted my opinion for a better review …safe travels!

could be a fantastic place

we stayed 3 nights at the resort,fantastic location,the biggest pool I have ever seen,beautiful private beach, what else could we ask for? the problem is the resort is old and is in need of fixing. When we arrived we were assigned a room,the a/c did not work,we were changed to a better room(upgrade) and the toilet did not work.We were upgraded to another room(a suite) this was great but there was a water leak in the bathroom,we put a towel on the floor and it was OK.This shows that the place badly need fixing. The staff is great and helpful,the restaurant on premise is good .It could be one of the best resort in Crete if only....

All as other reviewers say: rooms are dated but clean, view is spectacular. Hotel grounds very pleasant, staff at check-in excellent, barman at beach bar not so good. Hotel is making an effort with decor in dining rooms to make up for aged condition of the property. I enjoyed my stay and would go again.

Amazing view is this hotel's main plus point

This hotel has really amazing views over the bay from every room and from the bar/restaurant areas. The hotel itself isn't the best we've ever stayed in, but with a view like that who cares? Quite dated and a very small bar etc., but the reason we went was for the view so we weren't disappointed!

We enjoyed our Holiday in this Hotel. You have a fantastic view over the whole(!) bay. Also the Beach is wonderful🤩. Clear Water and Sand. The bay is reserved for hotel guests. The Hotel and the Rooms are not so modern, more greek Standard. But we had all we needed. We also enjoyed the Kids Pool with our 2 years old son☺️. But there aren‘t more opportunities for children😕. There were 2 Restaurants, one of them Buffet with traditional Greek Food, and the other one at the Beach with a la carte Food. We were allowed to eat there 2 times in our Holiday there. There werd some ants on the floor in the Buffet Restaurant. The hotel Service and personal was very friendly and helpful.

Cet établissement mériterait de mieux se valoriser sur les photos. En effet, nous avons été très agréablement surpris. Nous craignions un peu d'être dans une ambiance années 70. En réalité, les chambres sont spacieuses et très agréables. Les lits sont confortables. Deux bémols pour les chambres. 1/ les salles de bain sont vieillottes, exiguës et sombres. Un rénovation fera du bien. 2/ la connexion Wi-fi n'est absolument accessible dans les chambres. Autre point positif de l'établissement : sa conception des espaces, avec une restauration donnant directement sur terrasse en accès direct à la plage. La crique est privatisée par l’hôtel. Ceci est très agréable. En outre, l'espace piscine est très bien et adapté pour les enfants. Enfin, le personnel est adorable et s'efforce de parler anglais, français et probablement d'autres langues. Enfin, dernier point d'amélioration : la durée pour être servis à table. Visiblement, cela coince des cuisines... Globalement très satisfaits et nous recommandons.

Ça aurait pu être super... À chaque fois, il manque un petit truc pour que ça soit bien... Les lits sont grands mais inconfortables. Y a du WiFi mais ça porte pas. La plage est jolie mais sale. La salle de bain est microscopique obligé de s'asseoir en biais sur les toilettes dont la chasse d'eau ne fonctionne vraiment pas :juste un filet d'eau qui descend et ne remplit pas sa fonction.... Obligé d'aller aux toilettes communes et pas toujours nickel... Bref, sympa mais ça aurait pu être super. Heureusement, le personnel est vraiment gentil, ça a sauvé les meubles

Hôtel très calme en hors saison

Le cadre splendide où se situe l'hôtel aide à faire oublier le peu de prestations offertes pendant les vacances de Toussaint. les resto et bar de plage sont fermés; les seules animations proposées sur une semaine ont été 4 cours de yoga, trois soirées bingo et une soirée piano bar. impossible de ne pas mentionner la demi pension qui n'offre même pas d'eau au petit déjeuner et au dîner! de plus très peu de variété et des plats cuisinés qui vous font retourner à vos années d'études tant cela fait penser aux cantines scolaires. quel dommage!
