Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Very basic hotel. Good for families not couples.
Room is very basic. Hard and uncomfortable bed. Only 1 pillow on each side. Pool and facilities are actually not bad but it was very chaotic with tons of children running around. Buffet offered very unauthentic cheap food so we did not really eat there despite paying for all inclusive. The dining hours are very fixed. Anything with decent quality, such as a frappe, costs premium surcharge. Service was just OK. Positive: 1. free and abundant parking onsite (very useful since we rented a car to explore the island) 2. It is on the beach. Not the nicest beach on Crete, but still a good beach with a few tavernas and walking distance to a few more places on the street side. Chairs are full during the day but emptied out during dinner time. Overall it was a great place to lay our heads but I did not feel like I was in Crete. It’s great for families though, not so much for romantic couple trip.

Lovely hotel to stay at. Lots of entertainment- bbq night was excellent. Staff were very helpful and friendly. Would say more 3* than 4* because of bathrooms- shower curtains and no individual toiletries just a soap pump on the wall are more 3* than 4. The reason I wouldnt stay here again is that friom the beach the view of the nearby power station and the smoke it was producing wasnt the best Greek view we have had. .

The resort is very nice. Very clean, the bungalows are charming, clean, comfortable and quiet, the beach is very nice. You will really enjoy your stay as long as you DO NOT EAT HERE. The food is abominable and there are only a handful of drinks included in the "all inclusive" program. Walk a few hundred meters outside the gate and there are lots of nice, reasonably priced restaurants and tourist shops. We particularly liked uncle George's tavern for dinner but whatever you do, do NOT eat at the resort.

Good value for money
I stayed here for one night. It was very cheap and nice for what I got. The food was all great, drinks were decent, and the beach and pool area was very nice. Would recommend for a night or too, but probbably not for more than a week as there is not enough to do.

Great Hotel, Awful Wi-Fi
Stayed there 16-26 of September, 2017 with family.The hotel left an excellent impression. The beach is very good, the food was great. The premises were in very good condition. The location is very good- you can get to Heraklion by bus in 15 minutes. The only one drawback was Wi-Fi. Auwul! Shows full signal and I couldn't even get to Skype. It was important to me and my family and made me to spend extra money on communications.
