My recent stay at the hotel in Crete was quite pleasant. The property offers a tranquil escape, but it’s worth noting that it’s quite far from most conveniences or attractions. If you’re seeking a peaceful retreat away from everything, it’s a good choice. However, the distance might be a factor to consider for those looking to explore the area.

Loved our stay here! Would definitely go back. The staff are so lovely and helpful they work so hard. Spa was great too. The area is super chilled and great food and friendly hospitality. Only thing would say is the Wi-Fi isn’t perfect but think that’s Greece in general.
