Property is outdated. Bathroom and entrance room in our bungalow has dingy lighting, fruit flies all over and a broken window latch. The shower is from the 80’s. Definitely will not be coming back. There are much better options in Rethymno for this price range.

The location was very convenient, right in the middle between Heraklion and Chania. The property super nice and clean and safe and the staff very friendly, especially Masia. she was ready to help with any question we have and made us feel like home. We loved the ambiance, kids, parents, grandparents and couples were all having fun . The swimming pools were gorgeous and the beach very nice and clean. The restaurants very nice. the breakfast menu and breakfast area were great! The little market on the property was very convenient. We had a great vacation!

This is a five star hotel and is as slick and polished as you might expect, with staff on hand to help with any and every enquiry or request, and a large imposing lobby and restaurant area. Grassy areas around the various accommodation blocks provide welcome coolness thanks to sprinklers. It's a sprawling complex with a family-friendly feel and also facilities more suited to adults i.e. the bars and Spa. Room location is a big factor in terms of how quiet or pleasant a stay you'll have as some rooms are very close to the small commercial area or the children's swimming pool. Rooms below ours had a direct view (and noise) of the air conditioning fan units behind the Spa. We had a standard 'Bungalow with Sea View', in reality a small apartment in a two-storey block. Although well maintained, decorated and clean, it is apparent that the concrete on the balcony is breaking down, and in the room the bedhead had a hole in it and the 'mirror' surfaces have degraded a lot around the edges. The door doesn't fit properly either, and you can see that other rooms have the same problem, with light spilling out around the doors at night, and sound travelling further than it should. These may seem petty details but for a luxury brand it is poor. A very comfortable bed and quiet air conditioning meant that we slept well in spite of the occasional sounds from neighbouring apartments. We only had breakfast, which was good but not great. Be aware of €15 a night sustainability charge.
