Beach: There are a lot of big and quite sharp stones on the way when getting into the water. It didn't present any problem for me but for people with kids or elderly this might be an issue. Maybe the hotel might take into into consideration and improve the entrance to the sea.

We stayed for 10 days in the second part of August 2021. The price was great for the quality and service we've received. Food: We had all-inclusive and I was happy with that choice. All the food was tasty, of good quality and there was always quite big choice: few types of fish, meats, lots of sides and dessert. In between the breakfast, lunch and dinners the bars were offering snacks. There are also 3 other restaurants: Italian, Greek and Vegan. We've visited the Italian and the Greek ones but personally we didn't enjoy it, the food in the main restaurant was much better. Location and territory: Very close from Heraklion, 10 mins by taxi and 30 mins by bus (€1.5 one way if buying in the souvenir shop on the hotel territory, €2.5 if buying at the driver). The territory of the hotel is relatively big and full of vegetation. It is lovely to have an evening stroll there after dinner. Beach and sea: The beach is big and clean. It is mostly sandy with small stones at the water edge. No sharp descent in the water, very gradual. 6 out of 10 days there were big waves and yellow flag, one day even red. It was fun. The water was very warm. However, half way through the stay there seemed to come cold underwater streams which made it nearly impossible to swim during 3-4 days. Then they were gone. At the time of our stay it was very windy so starting around 11pm so we were getting cold and could take sunbathes for the whole day at the beach. I believe I have read it is due to the season and isn't always like that. Pool: It is quite big and mostly deep (2-3 meters). There is a separate pool for kids. Very few sunbeds. In order to get us oes I got up at 7am, otherwise, they were taken. Despite the hotel sign asking people not to "book the sunbeds with the towels" literally everybody did it. Personnel: Friendly, had no issues. On the day of check-out we were allowed to stay longer in the room as we had a late transfer. It was very pleasant.
