“Wonderful relaxing first vacation with our toddler.”

Earthiness, local food, structure and size; friendliness of staff

“The moment my daughter and I arrived it felt like walking into another world entirely — a peaceful, beautiful, sun-drenc”

This is one of the best beach hotels we have ever stayed in — beautiful decor, comfortable rooms, stunning pools, and direct beach access with loungers made every day a pleasure. With several restaurants to choose from, delicious food at each of them, we never felt the need to leave the peaceful haven of the hotel’s expansive grounds. The service throughout was truly exceptional. We had the most amazing five days!

“Perfect”

The beach,the heated pool,the breakfast and basically everything!

Since we travelled by car, the hotel’s location was not a concern for us. We were warmly welcomed by very friendly and attentive staff, and the hotel’s aesthetic is truly stunning. The garden is beautifully lush — filled with a wonderful variety of plants — and our child absolutely loved the cat café in front of the hotel, where the staff provide food for the local cats to keep them peacefully away from the main hotel area. The beach is lovely, though we didn’t spend much time there as it was quite windy during our stay. Breakfast was excellent, with a generous selection of options to choose from. Beds were really comfy. Although nearly every family had one or two children under the age of five, the atmosphere remained calm and noticeably quieter than at many larger family-friendly hotels.

“great place & amenities, great for big families with generations.”

atmosphere was great! nice fruniture & design, landscaping was great with sun and shadow options and gave a very good vibe all over. kids club was perfect, restaurants good & nicely done! staff was super friendly but maybe a bit slow due to end of season…

“Lovely place, but as for the 5* hotel they have certain gaps and hotel is slightly overpriced.”

- In general hotel is trying to meet 5* resort requirements, however there are certain gaps that need to be addressed. - Very nice and green territory. You feel like in botanic garden. Especially comparing to the other hotels in this area. - They have 4 restaurants and couple of cafes/bars. Especially we liked Mourie Greek restaurant for the dinner. Food and wine was very good. Interiors and atmosphere as well. Italian restaurant was also nice. Staff was very good in both. We didn’t visit Meze restaurant, because it is adults only for the dinner. Breakfast was good in the main restaurant, however there is only one station where they actually cook food in front of you. - Staff was good and professional in general. Especially in the restaurants. - Beach was nice in general, however part of the beach is rocky, so there are really only few places with nice sandy entry. - They have plenty of parking places. - Bed in the room was quite comfortable, however lining/bedding could be of better quality.

“.This Place is amazing especially for families with little children (under 5)”

.This Place is amazing especially for families with little children (under 5) If you are looking for unrivaled luxury, tranquility, and high-end amenities (especially a pristine private beach), and do not mind being secluded from local towns and main routes, this hotel is an excellent choice. However, future guests should be aware of the isolated location and the premium charged for the accommodation compared to the size of the rooms.

I loved the facilities and the staff was super friendly. Nice pools, restaurants and also the private beach is beautiful.

“Excellent for families with babies and kids”

Everything was perfect, it was the most beautiful vacation. The food, the people, the facilities, everything perfect.

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An unforgettable stay – perfect for families and food lovers!”

We had the most wonderful experience at this hotel. Our room had a stunning beach view – waking up to the sound of the waves each morning was absolutely magical. The setting couldn’t be better, and it immediately put us into holiday mode. The food was a true highlight. The breakfast buffet was the best I have ever had – an incredible spread with something for everyone, from fresh fruit and pastries to local Cretan specialties, all beautifully prepared. Every meal we had here was delicious, showcasing authentic flavours that made us fall in love with Cretan cuisine. The ice cream and waffles parlour on site was a huge hit, especially with my child – such a treat to have this kind of indulgence just a few steps away. The facilities are wonderfully child-friendly, making it easy to relax and enjoy family time. From thoughtful play areas to the welcoming atmosphere. Finally, the staff truly made the difference. Every single person we encountered went the extra mile to make our stay special. Their warmth, attentiveness, and genuine hospitality were remarkable – we felt looked after in every way. This hotel exceeded all expectations and gave us memories to treasure. We can’t wait to return!

the food was very average for dinners … buffet was good though …

“Nice hotels but only go if you have young kids”

“Loved it - fantastic hotel”

Beautiful hotel, and the decore as well. Our room was so lovely and the staff are great. The restaurants offer amazing food with so much variety, kids club was great too. Really nothing I can fault. We loved it.

“Overall it was good but we will unlikely come back”

The Cretan breakfast was amazing

“Authentic greek and family friendly resort by the ocean with great rooms and some nice restaurants!”

Lots of amenities and really great spot right by the ocean with beautiful sunsets. The Italian restaurant there gives you the most romantic atmosphere by the sea. Shoutout to Manolis for his caring hospitality. Great door man and staffer!

“It takes more than a posh sofa to make a truly memorable family holiday... :(”

Reception on arrival, friendly, prompt check in, lovely drink. The Food at Mezze. Proximity to the Sea. The Design elements, furniture, plants etc.. Staff - some staff were friendly, helpful and gorgeous! In particular the guys around reception :) However this is not a widespread culture throughout the hotel, see below. The air con in the rooms is heavenly! so needed in the hotter days. The beach bar setting is amazing to watch the sunset..

“It was wonderful and I appreciate the kindness and care of all staff members.”

The staff is the highlight of the establishment. The cleaners were friendly, the service staff at the Mezze restaurant, especially Olga, were wonderful and took care of personal details. The staff at the spa were also wonderful and were accommodating, friendly, and attentive to our needs.

“Almost the perfect 5 star beach holiday for our family”

Very family friendly (loads of families with babies and very young children which some might put as a negative), abundance at breakfast, most of the staff exceptionally focused on guest’s wellbeing. Beautiful welcome and a beach bar to die for. VIP treatment for everyone. Facilities look beautiful all around.

The service was really great. Everyone is so kind and attentive. The food is really amazing. The whole hotel really is well thought out. Everything you might want or need is there. I really really loved this hotel!

“Great addition to Crete. Ibiza level resort”

Great design Good attention to detail
