Loved the sky bar and its views. Pool was fab too. Room clean and quiet and bed comfy. Staff were all very friendly. Special shout out to the two ladies in sky bar and the receptionists.

Great location for walking to Elounda village, superb service with an ocean bay to swim !

This hotel is located in an excellent position near Elounda village - very walkable - and also the short ferry ride to Spinalonga. There is a convenient sheltered pebbly beach and a lovely pool. Breakfast was also very good. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. The room was super clean. We ate at the restaurant one evening and it was excellent, lovely for a special occasion .

One night buy very enjoyable.

It has its own parking, a great advantage in Elouna. Also its own sunbeds right across the road next their beach restaurant. A nice short walk into town passing some good restaurants and shops on the front.

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel! They upgraded our room, and we had an amazing sea view. The location of the hotel is perfect — right by the sea and in a very central area. The hotel restaurant is also located directly on the beach, with a beautiful view of the island and the sea. The atmosphere was relaxing and special. There is free parking, which was very convenient for us. The staff were extremely kind, welcoming, and helpful during our stay. The breakfast was excellent, rich, fresh, and very diverse. Highly recommended — we will definitely come back again!

The hospitality was excellent. Beautiful, contemporary, well maintained with excellent facilities

Above all, the hospitality of the staff, which was excellent. Food was good, a nice mix of traditional Cretan & international. The room was very well serviced. The rooftop pool and bar gave a lovely outlook. Contemporary design and decor, beautifully clean.

Great stay and looking forward to returning

Great location very clean and big spacious rooms with good quality bedding very comfortable. Breakfast was very good lots of variety. The pool area is quite small but we managed to get a sun bed pool very clean, not the best beach but you can swim and there are sun beds. We loved the sky bar the views were amazing with comfortable seating all the staff were very friendly this is our second time here and will be back.
