So, we didn't actually get to stay here as the apartment we rented had an electrical problem. We had rented a 3 bedroom apartment, and were offered 2 apartments (1 bedroom apartment & 2 bedroom apartment). As were were traveling with children (12 & under) this arrangement didn't work for us. We could have taken the 2 bedroom but had paid for a 3 bedroom & there was no reduction in price. The second option was to stay at a sister property (Manili Villa & Suites in town) that had 4 bedrooms, so we chose this option. The apartment was fine (it even had a private hot tub & private pool) but it lacked 2 key elements that the original apartment had: laundry facilities & a functional kitchen (tiny kitchen area, not well eqipped, no space for pantry). The staff were very appologetic, and were helpful & made sure our stay was pleasant. The buffet breakfast was amazing!

“Perfect end to our trip to Crete in a beautiful setting”
We loved the beautiful rural location close to a pretty old village with lots of shops, restaurants etc. The apartments are really well designed and laid out so everyone had privacy. The pool area is beautiful.

“VERY DISAPPOINTING”
We had a very disappointing stay. The hotel failed to inform us in advance about major roadworks that completely blocked access from 08:00 to 21:00 on July 10th. We were essentially trapped inside all day and had to cancel our plans. This level of disruption should have been communicated before check-in. Totally unacceptable for a vacation.

“Relaxing and almost perfect”
We liked the location on a hill as well as that there were not too many people. It was almost perfect for relaxing, especially at the pool. Also, the breakfast was very delicious. Some might not find it that special, but we especially loved the cake and sweet food. :) The staff was also very friendly. As there weren't too many people, but still some families, we found it to be very family-friendly.
