The property is in a location that is the closest to the walk/drive to Balos and about 5 minutes to the port for the ship. Staff were pleasant and welcoming when we arrived. The views were amazing! Our room was beautiful and the pool was huge and located next to the great view. We received a welcome beverage and a departure gift. Nice hotel close to a busy taverna and the sights.

Amazing location right at the beginning of the dirt track to Balos Beach. Wonderful pool overlooking the sea and with plenty of sun up until late afternoon. Staff are super friendly and the buffet breakfast and dinner had loads of tasty options. Dinner in partic is excellent value (and there’s nothing else around there anyway!). Very peaceful and relaxing. Highly recommend!

It's clear that the hotel has been through better times already, everything was clean but the AC in the room was very loud, sometimes we were not sure if it won't explode or something. The private beach is basically useless, it's only stones so you cannot really enter the sea.
The staff was extremely nice, from front desk, bar, pool bar to breakfast staff - everybody amazing!

Staff very kind and helpful: girls at the reception, waiters at the restaurant and at the pool kiosk, cleaning women, the cook (super!). Everywhere very clean. Buffet breakfast and dinner very very good. Amazing sea view from the big room and from the restaurant. In a quiet and beautiful zone, at the beginning of the 8 km not asphalted road to balos bay (easy to do with a normal car).

“A little disappointing for that price”
- • Leisure trip
- • Family with young children
- • Stayed 2 nights
The equipment of the rooms is very old and quite poor for that price level. Same for the restaurant area. You cannot leave the aircondition on during the day, so it was very hot when we came back in the evening. There is no real beach in front of the hotel (rocky stones with a lot of waves). The pool could also deserve some refurbishment.
The people where very nice and the rooms had a very nice view on the sea, even though the reality is not that nice as the pictures on booking. The hotel is right on the way to Balos beach.

It's a really quiet zone, so you have nothing to do at night. Some details could be better, but remember it's a three star hotel. Honestly, there's nothing important to complaint. Great hotel, great people!
Very nice room, with sea view, really relaxing. Good pool, with bar and the possibility of having lunch in the pool area. Confortable bed. Very nice owner, who received us in the check-in, offered us a welcome drink and showed us the property. Excellent location for visiting wonderfull Balos Lagoon, a Crete must see. In the last day we had to leave at 5.30, and the hotel gave us an incredible breakfast basket with lots and lots of good things to eat, and offered us some gifts (typicall produts from Crete). We do not have words to thank that gesture! All the employees were really nice and helpfull during the whole stay. Good laundry service! I strongly recommend this hotel!
