Great place to stay! I loved the (semi-)private pool in the room. The breakfast and pool were great as well. The small city down at the port is great to hang out with lot of restaurants. It is also less crowded than other areas in Crete. Really enjoyed the stay!

Nice hotel with a good view over the sea. Difficult to walk up to the hotel from the sea, take the car, it’s very steep. Good breakfast, but only filter coffee is included. Cleaning personal starts working around 07:30.

The hotel was clean and beautiful with amazing views. My only issue was the private pool wasnt heated and i went later in the season when it would get cold at night. So the water would be freezing maybe it doesnt make a difference if you go in june or july. Outside of that the hotel was amazing and i highly recommend

Prima, maar we zouden geen 2keer gaan. De foto’s van de website kwamen niet geheel overeen met de werkelijkheid omtrent het zicht. Bij sommige kamers kijken de mensen uit het restaurant recht in je kamer.zwembad open tss 10u en 18u savonds.

Vom Hotel aus ist es zu Fuss nicht weit zum Strand entfernt, wo es viele kleine Restaurants am Strand entlang gibt. Auch genug kleine supermärkte und souveniershops. Das Hotel ist ein bisschen in der Höhe aber tolle Lage. Man sieht direkt zum Meer und das ganze Hotelpersonal ist sehr freundlich und kümmert sich den ganzen Aufenthalt um de Gäste. Die Infrastruktur im Zimmer ist modern. Ich würde sofort wieder ein Zimmer buchen.

Fabulous hotel in a beautiful location, the road from the airport is very twisty and narrow in places but worth it . The staff are the friendliest we’ve ever met , nothing is too much trouble, they even charged my cell phone when I couldn’t get it to work! Lovely breakfast and the rooftop restaurant is amazing, great food and ambience. We had massages which were excellent too. I highly recommend this place .

Super Hotel in ruhiger Lage, Einkaufsmöglichkeiten 5 Minuten zu Fuss entfernt, saubere Zimmer, top Service, sehr freundliches Personal. Großer Parkplatz (kostenlos). Liegt genau zwischen Chania und Rethymno und ist ein idealer Startpunkt, um mit dem Mietwagen die verschiedensten Sehenswürdigkeiten und Strände zu besuchen.
