It’s a pretty decent resort, but the overall feel is more tailored towards families with kids and less for romantic couples. Would recommend for families but couples seeking for a romantic time might want to look elsewhere.

Maximilian

Liked: Property conditions & facilities
Disliked: Cleanliness
The hotel itself is visually impressive, with beautiful interior design and an aesthetically pleasing pool area. Unfortunately, the negative aspects outweighed the positives. Our room regularly smelled of sewage — something completely unacceptable for a hotel of this category. The food (both breakfast and dinner) was at best lukewarm, lacked variety, and the overall quality was disappointing. The staff were often inattentive and at times unfriendly. For example, when we ordered hot water for breakfast, we were served milk instead. After housekeeping, the entire floor was left wet and leaving a musty smell of damp cloths. Overall, this is definitely not five-star standard. The current high ratings do not reflect our experience.

Beautiful hotel and service was fantastic in every part of the hotel except for the buffet. There were a lot of staff but always had to call someone to the table to either get a drink or set the table. Also, ordered drinks that never came. This happened on multiple occasions. Other than that, the hotel service was impeccable. I would highly recommend.

Amazing resort with very friendly and helpful staff. Pools were great and well maintained and the water slides kept my 11 year old, and me, entertained as did the Tennis courts. Very relaxing and fantastic sunset views. Limited things to do in the immediate vicinty and the buffet food could have been better. Otherwise really enjoyed the stay and made full use of the spa.

An absolute gem. One might never have to leave the resort due to how comfortable and accommodating it is. OR. It is most convenient to nearly all Crete has to offer if adventuring. The staff are tremendous. Above and beyond always with a smile. The hotel is perfectly appointed with something for everyone.

This must be my best stay at a hotel ever (i’m 37 years old and travel alot). BEAUTIFUL hotel & our room was gorgeous! Nice, polite and service minded staff that always helped me and my gf if needed. Great location with a private beach, great pool area with a nice bar. Spa, gym and 3 restaurants! Our week here was worth every penny and we will love to visit again soon 😊 also thank you for your lovely farewell gift bag with Greek olive oil and candy. 12/10!

Ein wirklich sehr schönes Hotel. Die Zimmer waren sehr großzügig und sauber. Wir haben ein Upgrade in eine Royal Suite bekommen. Die Speiseauswahl war umfangreich und für jeden was dabei. Das Personal sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Beim Checkout gab es noch ein Abschiedsgeschenk-was nicht selbstverständlich ist und in positiver Erinnerung bleibt! Das Hotel liegt etwas abgeschieden -aber für Ruhesuchende und zum entspannen perfekt! Das Hotel können wir uneingeschränkt empfehlen und würden jederzeit wiederkommen! Wir haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt und haben die griechische Gastfreundlichkeit sehr genossen

Wir haben bei Ankunft ein Zimmerupgrde erhalten. Das Zimmer war sehr modern eingerichtet und super sauber. Der Pool auf der Terrasse war auch sehr sauber und mit Meerblick. Das Frühstücksbuffet war umfangreich und lecker. Der Service immer freundlich und zuvorkommend. Die Restaurants Mitato und Cretamos sind ebenfalls sehr zu empfehlen. Super leckere griechische Speisen, auf hohem Niveau zubereitet. Zum Geburtstag meiner Freundin gab es dann sogar einen Geburtstagskuchen und eine Flasche Sekt als Geschenk. Das zeigt wie Aufmerksam und zuvorkommend das ganze Hotelpersonal die Gäste behandelt. Alles in allem ist das Hotel sehr zu empfehlen. Wir kommen definitiv wieder!

Bra resort

Första gången vi besökte resorten var sommaren 2024. Vi hade en fantastisk vecka och valde därför att återvända. Tyvärr levde inte denna vistelse upp till samma nivå. Även om personalen är trevlig och hjälpsam blev det fel varje gång när vi beställde room service eller bokade massagetid. Resorten är fortsatt i bra skick även om mycket slitage har tillkommit på rummen och poolområdet. Maten är bra och och resorten är mysig. Tyvärr verkar nu även charterbolagen leverera gäster till hotellet vilket skapade mycket mer kaos och buller i restaurangen både morgon och kväll. En helt klart mycket sämre atmosfär jämfört med året innan.

Property was visually beautiful. Lots of nice pools and great views. Breakfast buffet was good. Service was lacking. We were switched into a different room “equivalent” than what was booked. Need to have a car rented or you will be stuck in the property. Value for the money was not there.
