Really lovely hotel, room was brand new (i was the second guest to stay in it), spotlessly clean, lovely pool and loungers, beach a 30 second walk if that, and staff are lovely. Faultless Hotel. Also breakfast buffet had all basics like eggs, veggies, fruit (papaya off their own tree), cereals, yogurt etc and also lovely little Greek additions every day eg cakes, dakos, fritters

Super hotel.

Great hotel, excellent location for beach, shops & restaurants. Lovely staff. Stayed in premier double room, which had kettle with tea/coffee. Situated on 2nd floor with large balcony overlooking pool. I thought the rooms on ground floor were less private. Adequate buffet breakfast. Parking close by. Would definitely stay again.

What an amazing hotel. Above all the staff at Relax are the best hosts. The hotel is new, 1 minute walk to beach. Has a great pool. I highly recommend booking a poolside room if available. It’s so convenient to Palaiochora center but not in the fray of the late night noise. This hotel exceeds all expectations I had by leaps and bounds.

Dejligt med varieret komfort

Dejligt mindre hotel med pragtfuld morgenmad. Værelserne er af forskellig standard. Vores desværre med dårlig udsigt og meget smal altan. Søg for at få værelse med udsigt til haven / pool, og sørg for at få en bred altan eller terresse. Rengøringen på værelse var fin, men vi fik aldrig badeværelset gjort rent i den uge vi boede på hotellet. Affaldssortering er desværre et fremmedord på hotellet som så mange andre steder i Grækenland. Området er et pragtfuldt vandreparadis med mange små strande med ‘laid back’ stemningsfulde barer. Desværre har grækerne endnu ikke lært, at plastik er affald og ikke skal smides i naturen. Der sviner desværre forfærdeligt selv de mest naturskønne steder.

Entspannte Atmosphäre. Sehr nettes, familienfreundliches und flexibles Team! Auch die Inhaber selbst sind fast immer Vorort. Poolbereich ist wirklich sehr schön gestaltet und gut windgeschützt. Praktisch ist, dass man nur wenige Meter zum Strand aber auch in die Altstadt hat. Hotel bietet ein gutes Frühstück bis halb 11 (leider nur Filterkaffee).

Flott hotell med perfekt beliggenhet

Kan virkelig anbefale et opphold på dette hotellet. Ble møtt av meget trivelig ansatte og innsjekkingen var helt problemfri. Rommet var delikat og meget godt renhold. Hotellet ligger meget fint til med kort vei til strand og sentrum. Frokosten var en av de beste frokostene som vi har fått servert på Kreta noen gang. Kan virkelig anbefales.

Fikk ikke den bestilte romtype da vi kom sent på kvelden men et mye mindre rom. Da vi klaget i resepsjonen dagen etter var det ingen problem å få bytta, de hadde ledig den type vi hadde bestilt til og med. På begge de rommene vi hadde var det et svært lite bad der vannet fløt utover gulvet (åpent dusjkabinett/ forheng). Ellers var det siste rommet vi fikk helt fint størrelsesmessig med daglig rengjøring og en deilig veranda utenfor. Trivelig personale og et fint basseng utenfor som var godt vedlikeholdt. God frokost og 2 min til stranda. Vi fikk forklart at det er tre bygg der vi bodde i det eldste, et bygg som er 10 år gammelt og et helt nytt bygg som nylig var åpna der resepsjon og matsal ligger.
