This was our First trip to Crete, this resort was on the quite side, so if you looking to unwind and relax , this is the place. The meals were pretty good and the desserts amazing. The staff were pretty friendly although I find the bar staff at the pool could be a bit more friendlier.

Liked: Staff & service
great location for driving to western beaches.
This is a medium size hotel on a rocky strip of beach in a small beach town. Nice atmosphere but if crowded there is not much space between rooms, chairs on the patio or beach. Pools spaced throughout property is a nice touch. Best part was the location- good driving distance to many great western beaches. Food is okay. Servers working hard during trying times. Several restaurants nearby but not all opened back up after Covid. 3.5 stars. 4 for location.

You couldnt fault the staff, they were so friendly and helpful. We were aware until 4 days prior to departure that the hotel was closing. It was very quite, rooms pleasant but dated. We enjoyed our stay overall but it didnt meet expectations of a 4 star hotel
