You feel wrapped in a peaceful cocoon the minute you walk in the door. Maria and the customer service team are super lovely and helpful. We stayed in a superior waterfront bunglow which was thoughtfully designed and offered lovely local products in the bathroom. The trick is to get one with a view out to the ocean and then it’s just blue as far as the eye can see. Would thoroughly recommend the wine tasting and food from the excellent team at Terpsis

The hotel grounds are beautifully designed and the staff were very friendly. The housekeeping was fantastic and very helpful. A few things to take into consideration when booking the Annex water front bungalows. The description for these bungalows does not accurately reflect the reality. They are very outdated and there is no privacy as it is separated from the hotel by an area of land that has a mobile trailer on it and what appeared to be someone' residence. The annex bungalows are right next to it and on the other side of them is the public beach. We were so disappointed with this accommodation that we asked to change our room right away. The manager was very helpful in accommodating us and switching us to another room. Unfortunately we didn’t get the waterfront that we originally booked however the garden view bungalow was much more updated and very nicely decorated so we were happy. Later that same night we came home to ants everywhere in the room despite not having any food or windows open. They gave us spray and we kept spraying the room for the rest of our stay as we did continue to see them although the amount did decrease. On our last night we found a baby scorpion in our room again this was a shock to us that this would happen in a hotel of this caliber. We understand sometimes these things happen but how these matters are dealt with by the hotel can go a long way and nothing was extended to us to compensate us for our experience.

The hotel staffs were friendly and looked after us very well. The hotel was attached to a dive centre which was very convenient for us. The food in the hotel was good but we found the menu at the beach bar a little boring for my liking. The hotel was about a 20-25 minutes walk to the town. A place we will stay again.

One of those places one wishes to keep a secret. A place that’s beautiful day and night with a breathtaking view, open air sunset dinning and wonderful fresh food. Amazing breakfast buffet for every taste..The property is removed but at the same time located that the (fishing) village of Agios Nikolaos can be reached in walking distance. Best time MidMay to early June and mid-September to October before and after the turnover crowds arrive … and stay at least 10 days/2 weeks to allow 2 or 3 days for exploring the historical sights of Crete
