I enjoyed my stay , good value for money and the area around is magic. The only thing they could improve is being more welcoming and enjoying explaining about the area and what to visit. I could tell they didn’t really care about it, at least for my experience. Maybe because of a language barrier.

Short Stay!

Great location, quick walk to the beach. We had a great view from our room! Breakfast was great, although not complimentary. Staff was so friendly! Not so great things: we were in the main building which is not sound proof at all. To the point where we could hear the person in the room next to us turning their lights on and off. It just so happened to be their little one who clicked it on and off over and over and over again at 6am. The bathroom was a bit different. The shower had no door/curtain and there was a drain in the middle of the bathroom for the shower water. The bathroom was also riddled with mold.

Beautiful hotel, limited location without a car.

We stayed for two weeks in a beautiful part of the island, not particularly geared for tourist as there were only two places to eat within walking distance of the hotel with children. There were other towns about 30 minutes walk, one not particularly safe walking but the owner of the hotel knows the taverna owner and they came and collected us but were too busy to return us so we walked home in the dark, not too bad as we didn't have the kids. The town the other way is a better walk, but still a 3 mile round trip, with a Taverna called BOURAKIS RESTAURANT, with beautiful food. We hired a car and this enabled us to get to explore further afield. I had read reviews about the friendly nature of the owners and the staff at the hotel, sadly we did not experience this, helpful but not usual Greek friendly. The pool was beautiful, but no pool bar or snacks/drinks available to buy, as advertised, however there is a shop in walking distances and the small fridge in the room, meant cold drinks could be available throughout the day. Hotel was very clean and finished to a high standard. Chania is only 30 minutes away and well worth a visit.

Nossa estadia foi incrível, fomos recepcionados super bem por todos os funcionários e nos sentimos como se estivéssemos em casa. O quarto estava super limpo, boas instalações, local da piscina super legal com bar e café da manhã gostoso. O único ponto negativo é que a internet poderia ser melhor, mas nenhum impeditivo se está de férias!

Dejligt lille hotel

Rigtig dejligt sted, vil helt klart gerne besøge stedet igen, dog nu med klarhed om virkelig lidt mulighed for bevægelse væk fra område, hvis man ikke har en bil eller ikke vil bruge taxa hele tiden, bussen er ikke særlig pålidelig, den kommer ca. 30 min for sent, hver anden time i hverdagene. Men Skønt skønt hotel, med virkelig rart og dejligt personale, god service men ikke nemt at få mad igen pga afstanden til byer og restauranter. Poolområdet skønt, men mangler nogle skygge muligheder når solen er værst. Kan klart anbefales hvis man har brug for at komme væk fra storbyen og bare nyde nogle dage med pool og strand.
