“Excellent and relaxing stay”
Location was fine although surrounding area only average in terms of interest, usefulness of quality. Staff and food quality and variety were both outstanding at all meals. If on all inclusive stag the included wine was very low quality, our only criticism.

Like that place, the service and the staff were very helpful. My partner wasn't feeling well at some point and stuff helped us with food and stuff and even kept checking if things were ok. They make sure you are well taken care of.

“We had a fantastic time here, just a few points to improve. Verrry quiet/chilled atmosphere which felt a bit lacking”
Location great proximity to Heraklion, some lovely options for bars/restaurants and shops within walking distance. Spotlessly clean. Food great quality and variety. Staff were on the most part lovely (bit of a strange flirty bartender in main bar)

We had an amazing time here and the hotel was beautiful. Rooms were clean and plenty of facilities to last the week. The food was amazing and plenty to choose from! The bar on the beach was so convenient and something we have never had before. Staff were so polite and helpful, nothing was too much trouble. Thank you for a lovely stay!

“Exceptional value and warm atmosphere 🌟”
Exceptional This hotel truly offers the best value for money. The staff are incredibly friendly, the food is both excellent and varied, and the private beach is a lovely bonus—even though it’s a 5–7 minute walk, we actually enjoyed the stroll. The overall vibe is peaceful and welcoming, making it a perfect place to relax. I wholeheartedly recommend this hotel!
