Hotels.com stated the room came with private pool but it didn’t. The great service at the hotel ensured we had a great time. It’s a fantastic peaceful hotel but be mindful of the star rating as some facilities don’t meet the mark I.e spa, food variety ##### Nathan Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 26 Jul 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great Holiday Stayed in the hotel for 2 weeks with extended family. Food: tasty, always warm, a lot of variety (appreciated a lot of seafood choices) Room: pick a room with a sharing pool Staff: everyone really friendly and accommodating Main pool: nice with a poolbar in the middle and really good for small kids as on two parts depth gradually increases Beach: we did not visit often as it was windy and wavy, so you really appreciate all the pool options Animation: no animation (minidisco etc) for kids, 1 greek night and 2 one man shows in two weeks - as a family with small kids we would apeciate something more in the evening time, but the hotel is still relatively new and maybe still developing in this area Cleanliness: very appreciated the cleaning team work - towels changed every day Advice: rent a car and discover Chania area ##### Verified traveller Stayed 14 nights in Jul 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Elina 3 Jul 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Hotel rules and instructions weren't clear, no information where to get beach towels, no prices for inroom dining etc. also although we had all inclusive, we needed to pay extra for certain services etc. Drink service didn't work properly at lunch and dinner. ##### Elina Stayed 6 nights in Jun 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Tamara Isabel Lydia 13 Aug 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Lovely rooms, very clean, great food and lovely staff. On the downside the drinks were pretty average. Coffee not great, wine not great, soft drinks varied, spirits weak. Also found it very odd for a supposed 5 star to have to pay extra for things like pool towels, some “premium” sun beds and bottled water? Not expected. The dining areas could really do with better lighting and some added character - they feel a bit canteen-like. However the food was really very good. Fresh, varied and tasty with lots of options. Deserts were also excellent. And the staff are great all round. It’s a quiet hotel, peaceful, with little or no evening entertainment even in peak summer. But if that’s what you like this is hard to beat. We walked into the village one evening which was so nice with a few good local restaurants, and only took 10/15 mins to walk. The grounds, pool area and rooms are so well kept and can’t be faulted. We were in the swim up rooms which were very lovely with great views. Best of both worlds. Overall I would definitely recommend it, and would certainly go back. ##### Tamara Isabel Lydia Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Kim 4 Oct 2025 Liked: Staff & service, amenities Das Essen war gut und war immer Abwechslungsreich. Leider hatten wir immer wieder Handtücher die voller Flecken waren, dies sollte in einem 5 Sterne Hotel nicht vorkommen. Leider musste man auch für die Poolhandtücher zahlen und auch für den Safe im Zimmer. Wir hatten All-Inclusive und ein Zimmer mit Privatpool. Es gibt zwei verschiedene Arten von Zimmern mit privaten Pool, leider hatten wir eins, wo der Pool nur Beton-Optik hat, diese haben extrem rutschige Stufen in den Pool, man kann sich hierbei nur versuchen an der Wand zu stüzen. Die anderen Privaten Pool Zimmer und die Sharing Pool Zimmer hatten immer Sonne, unsere Pool Zimmer waren leider in die komplett andere Richtung, damit hatten wir fast nur Schatten. Schade, dass die Ausrichtung nicht wie bei den anderen war. Personal ist zum größten Teil immer sehr nett. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/a4841f9e-3bfa-464e-87ae-5a8bc084e2a9-1759605385276.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Kim Stayed 11 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alexandra Irmgard 1 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Sauber und sehr freundlich. ##### Alexandra Irmgard Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Manuele 26 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Spettacolare ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/dc255f73-c2b0-4fe7-87fd-8c049b09a03e-1758925356466.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Manuele Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Monika 26 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Die Anlage ist wunderschön und zum Entspannen top!Noch nie so eine schöne Poollandschaft gehabt.Das Zimmer und die Betten waren gemütlixh. Das Essen war abwechslungsreich und von sehr guter Qualität. Softdrinks kamen nur aus dem „Schlauch“= Sirup&Wasser. Der Service lässt etwas zu wünschen übrig. Wir hatten ein Zimmer mit privat Pool. 4x haben wir nach einer dritten Liege gefragt- jedesmal wurde es uns zugesichert. Leider geschah dementsprechend nichts! Auch ein NoGo in einem 5\* Hotel VIP Acces Resort dass man für Handtücher zahlen musste. Der Strand war über eine Straße begehbar. Leider kein Zugang. Man musste etwas über große Steine klettern. Es gab auch keine Liegen am Strand! Abendprogramm gab es auch nicht wirklich! Muss man nicht unbedingt, wer es aber möchte wäre hier falsch. Sonst aber alle freundlich und zuvorkommend. ##### Monika Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### John 15 Sept 2025 ##### John Stayed 10 nights in Sep 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Antrijeta 15 Sept 2025 Liked: Amenities Speiseauswahl war abends sehr schlecht man konnte 3/7 Tagen tatsächlich gut essen - wenig Auswahl und oft das selbe. Zimmer wurden auch nicht gründlich geputzt. Getränke sind schrecklich, außer die Limonade war nichts trinkbar. Bei dem Vip Zimmern mit Pool sollte man beachten, dass manche Pools noch aus Rohbau/Beton bestehen, also nicht wie auf den Fotos. Leider hat es im Zimmer immer wieder fürchterlich nach Kanalisation gestrunken. Man hat nicht immer warmes Wasser. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/b8a1a8eb-46d8-4e4e-9747-b4723799182f-1757944813015.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Antrijeta Stayed 6 nights in Sep 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Ismail 29 Aug 2025 Liked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Disliked: Cleanliness Das Hotel hat potenzial aufjedenfall, aber was mich und meine Frau am meisten gestört hat waren die Baustellengeräusche morgens um 8-9 Uhr unglaublich sowas !!! Jeden Tag war eine andere Baustelle im Hotel, und richtig mit Kernbohrungen, Stemmhammer und alles !!! In einem 5 Sterne Hotel in Kreta wo man doch nur abschalten und sich erholen möchte von dem ganzen Stress im Alltag zuhause in Deutschland, ist das ein absolutes No Go !!! ##### Ismail Stayed 10 nights in Aug 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Lukas 25 Aug 2025 ##### Lukas Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ludovic 5 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Hotel tres propre, la nouriture est tres bonne et variée, le personnel est agréable et souriant, la piscine est immense, l 'espace toboggan est très bien, notre logement avec piscine etait tres propre et le nettoyage, changement de drap et de serviette est fait tous les jours. Bref nous avons passés un très bon séjour. ##### Ludovic Stayed 11 nights in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Turgay 4 Aug 2025 Die Unterkunft ist vom Flughafen ca.40 Min entfernt d.h man Muss Kostenpflichtig die Anreise organisieren entweder mit dem Taxi, oder Mietwagen wenn man vom Flughafen anreist . Ein Tolles Hotel, was für Familien perfekt ist ,es gibt ein Wasserpark mit Rutschen,und auch für Kleinkinder Ideal. Das All-Inkl Ist sowie ganz in Ordnung. In der Anlage gibt es auch weitere Pools und wenige Meter entfernt ist der Meer! Abend werden auch, für die Kinder tolle Veranstaltungen gemacht. Man kann in der Hotelanlage Spaß haben. ##### Turgay Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mickael 25 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities tout était excellent. ##### Mickael Stayed 11 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Steve 20 Jul 2025 ##### Steve Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Junior Frederick Franz 17 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We particulary liked the peaceful area around the hotel and in the hotel.
