Overall very good hotel and worth to stay there. The staff is super super polite with a nice smile everywhere, from top to bottom. The beach is nice, open to the north winds. Food is acceptable standard hotel buffet with variety of foods (although no Cretan foods or delicacies at the part of the buffer we were using). There are two sections building-wise, a renovated section and an old section. The sea-view bungalow we had this time was at the old section, 80s style, and definitely not worth 230-250 euros/night, with sea-view obstructed a lot by the front line bungalows. In the past we stayed at a cheaper, standard sea-view renovated room, main building section, which was better value for money than the more expensive bungalow(s).

We recently stayed at this hotel with our kids and appreciated how family-friendly it is. There are several shallow pools, which are great for young children, making it a fun place for families. However, our room was disappointing—it wasn’t new and had a noticeable smell of mold. The hotel offered to move us to another room, but it would have been a downgrade, and unfortunately, the musty smell was still present, even though the staff didn’t agree with our concern. In the end, we decided to stay in our original room. Other than that issue, it’s generally a good hotel, especially for families with kids, but the room situation was a bit of a letdown.

Although the resort was clean and amenities were great, the strong smell of bug poison was constantly present in the hallways. Further, while staff was polite, they don't make you feel very welcome.main restourant manager was quite rude and reception desk clerks are cold and unwelcoming.overall I would not recommend because of customer service.

The property was extremely old. It needs a renovation badly. The mosquitos were awful in our room even with the zapper plugged in all day. The shower curtain and room curtain both smelled moldy. The pool deck was very slippery and I fear for the older and younger population. The food was more than SUB par, the only thing I could rate well was the dessert. I lost weight coming on this vacation. The halfboard option does not include any drinks so be prepared to spend money even for water.

Peaceful and gorgeous nature at its best. This was was my first time in Greece and this property will have me coming back for years. The property and beach are gorgeous. Everything is well maintained. The bubgalow room was spacious for two people. We didnt do the all inclusive but ate on the property a few times. Breakfast wasnt good but the Taverna had good and reasonably priced options. Kostas at the front desk was Amazing. He helped arrange rides, offered great suggestions and was super accommodating. I felt he wanted us to have a good trip. Loved the location . Walkable area with great food options and shops, super close to town and there is a bus stop right out front. You could stay on the property and have a great vacation or go out and explore. I can't wait to come back!

Avant notre arrivée j’ai signalé que mon fils était en fauteuil roulant car il a du se faire opérer en urgence de la hanche. Ils m’ont gentiment répondu qu’ils mettaient tout en place pour notre confort et on s’est retrouvé dans une chambre au deuxième étage avec un ascenseur pas du tout aux normes handicapés pour un fauteuil roulant puisqu’il ne pouvait pas rentrer tout seul dedans il fallait ouvrir une porte battante pour rentrer et l’ascenseur faisait à peine la largeur du fauteuil donc impossible pour mon fils de rentrer tout seul dedans sinon il se coinçait les doigts. Nous avons donc fait par de notre mécontentement concernant cette chambre pas du tout adaptée ni pour y accéder en ascenseur ni pour aller dans la douche car il y avait une marche pour aller dans la salle de bain et aussi pour rentrer dans la douche et de plus pas de porte de douche donc de l’eau partout devant et un sol glissant. Ils nous ont donc mis dans un bungalow parfaitement adapté de plein pieds et une baignoire avec poignée et un rideau pour ne pas mouiller le sol En contre partie nous avons payé 1300€ supp après avoir négocié près d’une heure car au départ ils nous demandaient 1900€. Nous étions avec des amis qui ont aussi réservés sur votre site internet et qui ont eu un bungalow donc surclassés mais sans payer de surplus. Nous avons trouvé ce principe pas très commerçant de leur part surtout que nous étions 11 personnes en tout inclus. J’attends votre réponse merci
