I stayed in the hotel with my family (incl 4 children – 5, 11, 14, 20😉) for two weeks and found it very friendly, comfortable, with a cozy atmosphere and good location for sightseeing the most spectacular places in Crete. What we do like in the hotel: First of all great hospitality and proffesionalism of the Staff (!!!) – kind and caring Manager and his Team, the Restaurant and Bar Service are of very good proffesional skills, the Man who takes care of pools is very thorough. Morover: - very tasty and good quality meals (!!!) - greek cuisine, delicious sweets (!!!) – my children loved them, mostly local foods, wide selection of fresh local (!!!) vegetables and local (!!!) fruits, there is selection of dishes for vegetarian (!!!), however some days the vege selection should be more rich in protein on lunch and dinner, tasty and fresh snacks and vegetable/fruits salads in the pool bar; - silence (!!!) - there is no artificial noisy and distracting entertainment: no animation for kids 😊😊😊 and no loud music 😊😊😊 – I spent time with my children in closeness and could still admire the beauty of Crete we experienced on trips; - calm music in the lift; - simplicity (!!!) in interior and exterior design and timetable, colours of the nature - white/olive/beige/brown, no unnecessary things and activites - I could really calm my mind and rest; - high standards of cleanness (!!!), including pools, which are perfectly clean; - very comfortable rooms; - cool wind from the sea (!!!) everywhere, all the time, early in the morning you will find the wind also on hotel’s corridors – try not miss it (!!!); - clean sandy beach, enough wide to take comfortable sun and sea baths – while daily exercising on the beach sand, I did not find any pieces of rubbish on, under or close to my body (!!!), the hotel is laid on the seashore, so the beach is pratically part of the hotel. I do appreciate an efforts to support enviromental care: - room cleanning and changing of the towels possible also on demand (!!!) – for me the room does not need to be cleaned and towels washed every day, to have done it the message must be sent electronically to the reception; - reusable plastic cups, no plastic accessories or any other unnecessary accesories for drinks in the pool bar, however I wish they were also for snacks; - nice bins for segregation of rubbish everywhere they are needed, bin for used baterries and electronics near reception; - possibility to fill empty water bottle with mineral water from the restaurant or pool bar (!!!). For those who like sightseeing: - good location for trips to Central and West Crete – easy and fast access to national road as well as the road to south coast and Psiloritis Mountains, we made a cruises on our own by rented car: we set out of hotel at 3 pm to: *Elephterna Museum and Arkadii Monastir, *Elephterna Archeological Site, *Rethymno, *Heraklion Archeological Museum, *Knossoss Palace, *Maleme and Souda Cementeries, we set out of hotel at

The hotel is very clean and has extremely comfortable beds and pillows, clean towels issued daily and you can get clean beach towels daily for 10 euros deposit. The hotel is in a quite area, close by are a supermarket , 2-3 tavernas and car hire and tourist trips can be booked at the car hire centre. A coffee snack bar and a restaurant. You can catch a bus from the bus stop (10 minute walk) to Rethymon or Heraklion. If you turn left out of the hotel and walk down the road for 5 minutes you will come to a car hire centre, you can book tourist trips from here. We went on a day trip to Chania and a second trip we took to Elafonisi beach, this took us up into the mountains and to a beautiful beach. Plenty of food to select from and always a special personal service. Michael and his team of staff in the dinning Hall were so friendly and accommodating. Michael greeted us each night and made sure that everything was ok During the evenings there is an outside bar and terrace where you can sit and watch the sunset. Bar closes around 11pm and most people are in bed around 11.30pm. Once a week there is a live DJ until 11.00pm. The sea is very warm and has a sand bank after a few metres , waves can be choppy some days but mostly calm seas. The bar is by the beach and the bar staff were very friendly and helpful, supplying us with Raki and wine. You can also get fruit, pizza and cake from the bar during the day time. Sun beds are comfortable and free on the beach. Whilst on holiday , we had a knock on the door one morning and a lady arrived with a birthday cake , bowl of fruit and a bottle of wine for my husband's birthday and a lovely birthday card from Christos (Hotel Manager). This was a lovely unexpected surprise for my husband and myself.
