The property was excellent, great pools for the kids. However, the big pool near the beach is overly crowded and we were thankful that we had a smaller pool in front if our room. My kids loved it and the breakfast was excellent. We had an amazing time.

Hotel was good. Bathroom very small for its size. I had to leave the property due to parking issues. There was no parking available anywhere in the vicinity of the hotel. I drove around about 1.5 hours and couldn't find a single spot. Decide to leave and get out of the Chania city because if this. Overall staff was great.

"Wonderful hotel with great staff! The breakfast was excellent with many options. The room was super clean with a staff member (I think her name was Maria) making an extra effort to cheer us every day leaving some cute figures in the forms of animals made of towels in our room. Highly recommend!"
