Laura

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort
The entire room was worlds away from how it was advertised. Thick Silikone kept the sink to the wall, pretty outdated bathroom without shower curtain, so you shower while being seated on the toilet, maybe that’s for you! Needs renovation. Should have taken photo! Considering this, it was a rip off. I will not return. Man at the reception was kind though.

A+ Location / Great hosts
Close to centre, shops, restaurants, bars & main beach. Parking available. Friendly staff & cats. Check-in was great, considering we arrived around midnight. We were greeted well & quickly & effectively shown to our room & dealt with formalities the following morning. Room was cleaned every day upon our request and sheets & towels changed every other day. Large size pool & poolside restaurant & bar, the only downside was kids screaming in the pool right outside our balcony whilst their parents were chilling & residing on the other side of the complex/pool and did or felt nothing that other guests might like some ‘chill-quiet’ time to enjoy their personal balconies in the AM/evening... :-/

Nice place, shame about the room
Hotel looks great on website, but my delux room was tiny. There was hardly room for our two suitcases. The property was clean and well maintained, decent pool and small sun lounger area. Close to amenities and nice restaurants. I’m now in Agios Nikolaos and my room is 4 times the size and half board for around the same money!

Go as a Guest... Leave as Family
Was my first time on Crete and decided to go to the South side where it's more laid back.. What a Right Choice of Place to go and more Importantly to Stay.. There is not one Negative thing to be said.. I couldn't have been treated better. Went as a Total Stranger and left feeling like part of the Family.. I WILL BE BACK!!

L'architecte avait-il oublié la douche ?
Points positifs: - lits et oreillers confortables - présence d'une moustiquaire sur la baie vitrée - parking gratuit et toujours de la place à l'ombre - hôtel bien situé - piscine grande et profonde Points négatifs : - la douche !!! Seulement 75 x 50 cm !! Et un rideau de douche qui colle à la peau, vraiment inadmissible ! - personnel parfois mal aimable (cela dépendait des personnes) - pas de chocolat chaud disponible au buffet du petit-déjeuner - assez bruyant le soir, surtout avec notre chambre donnant sur la piscine, et où on devait ouvrir la fenêtre la nuit car il faisait trop chaud Globalement, on ne recommande pas, et aucune envie de revenir une autre fois.

Hotel gut gelegen mit mehreren Restaurants und Supermärkten. Aufmerksames und nettes Personal. Das Zimmer ist jedoch klein und seine Möbel sind rückständige. Badezimmer überflutet und die Klimaanlage braucht lange, um zu funktionieren.

Die Unterkunft war zwar sauber, die Zimmer sowie der Rest allerdings weit entfernt von den Bildern im Internet. Sehr kleine Zimmer (wir konnten den Koffer nur auf dem Bett öffnen), das Badezimmer auch extrem klein und die Dusche war offen, ohne Duschvorhang, (somit der ganze Raum nass) und die Halterung für die Brause fehlte auch.
