Friendly stuff, a huge swimming pool with view on sea, comfortable and huge rooms, yummy breakfasts with dinner.

Александр, France

Breathtaking view that opens directly from your bed. The location is isolated but next to a small village. This hotel is the last stop on the way to Balos beach. Good food, beatiful facilities and once again amazing view

Iryna, United States of America

This little gem is tucked away from the busy city. It offers breakfast and dinner options that are a great deal. Private beach or beautiful pool take your pick. Friendly staff Great Omelets

Kathryn, United States of America

The room was cleaned everyday and it was clean, the staff were helpful and polite but nothing wow about it they do have to remember that guests are there on holiday and a smile goes a long way

Sandra, Ireland

Location, beach, cute restaurants within walking distance.

Julian, Canada

We chose the breakfast buffet included option. Breakfast begins at 8am, selection daily was a good variety. Amarya the Chef making the eggs at the cooking station was super friendly and kind to the guests. Dining room Hostess was friendly too. They did their best to keep up with removing finished dishes from the tables. Stray cats wondered around the large outdoor breakfast dining area but they weren't a problem. Dinner was a bit over priced and drinking were not included in that meal. Room was ok, housekeepers left nice towel decorations like swans and animals. Over all a pleasant experience.

We were negatively surprised as we were - as coffee drinkers in the early morning - forbidden to take a cup of coffee in our room. The fact to have to pay 1 Euro to get a key to the safe seemed also a bit strange.

Plastic doors are ugly. A lot of activity in the morning. Sofa bed was a bit uncomfortable, even just to sit on
Breakfast was yum. Very handy for Balos Beach trip. Good size room and big comfortable bed. Large terrace. Good shower pressure and decent wi-fi. The handy was very handy. Large spotlessly clean pool.

We had the room with the pool directly in front of our patio door. Because it was low season and the pool bar was closed this was perfect. Not sure I'd want the same room during peak season though! The view from the hotel is wonderful. The nearby beaches are wonderful, and there are a few nice restaurants a short drive away for the sunsets. We found this hotel particularly good value especially compared to other hotels we've stayed in, in Crete.

Don’t go there if you don’t have a car! The area was really remote. The beach in front of the hotel was rocky and not nice for swim. The pool was freezing cold in Oct. If you’re a coffee lover, you’ll be disappointed by the quality of the coffee in the breakfast buffet.
The rooms were super clean and comfortable. The reception was very helpful. The area was very relaxing.

No sun beds on the terrace Few issues with our showers not being able to hang a towel or place our shampoo up. It is a limited problem when they designed some bathronoms and will be fixed (according to the staff)
Spacious modern room with large terrace facing the sea Nice swimming pool over the beach (unheated though) Great buffet dinner and breakfast Good wifi

The beach area by the hotel, it is not well maintained plus we could see a large pipe coming out from the property grounds and going into the sea. We don't really know if this was waste water or white water. The sea appeared to be clean though.
Well maintained property, very quiet spot but at the same time not far from restaurants, supermarkets, night life, beach locations. The staff was very polite and professional and helped with everything we asked for.
