Stunning location, friendly staff and good food.

The reviews below initially put me off booking, but am very glad I chose to stay here in the end. The staff are excellent (shout out to the two Andrei's), the food buffets delicious and the various pools, beaches, games facilities are the perfect setting for a few nights of relaxation. Really lives up to its 5 star status.

10 perfect days in Crete

Beautiful location on top of a seaside cliff. Sea-view room was awesome! Food in the restaurants was good. About 20 minutes from downtown Heraklion, but far enough out of town to avoid the noise and the bustle. We had a rental car the entire time - highly recommend this.

Beautiful place, average food.

Absolutely great views throughout and the hotel itself is very nice. Lovely and very big rooms. Everything was good, except the food which was average. If you stay here and want to experience Cretan food, eat elsewhere. Other than that, highly recommended. Brilliant and friendly staff.

Amazing views, beautiful hotel.

We stayed for 7 nights at the end of the season (the hotel closes at the end of October) but there were still plenty of guests and activities. We appreciated the natural beauty of the location. It is somewhat isolated. We had a car which was nice. The meals were very good- buffet style with good variety. The staff was helpful without being overbearing. Laundry was an issue- very costly at the resort (3-6 Euros per piece) so we drove into Heraklion and had 2 loads done for 16E. Kids had a blast!

Nice spot, amazing view, disappointing service

Ok overall but not a 5* at all, I was not expecting much for the price paid but still a bit disappointed, food was ok but not great, staff helpful to a minimum in particular the front desk. The room was big and with a stunning sea view but the bedding was terrible and that's a shame really.

Hotel a long way away from the main centre

The hotel looks very nice from the outside , with nice swimming pools, bar, shops and convenience store. All inclusive was a plus . Nice bar and disco tech on property. The rooms were in poor shape with very low and uncomfortable bed. Their were small ants and spiders in the room which after our complaints were taken care off. The bathroom looked run down with rust in the bathroom basin and peeling paint on the bathroom door. One day our bedroom was not done up when we got to the hotel back from sightseeing in the evening.

Great option if you want to relax on holiday

All the staff were friendly and did as much as they could to ensure the holiday was enjoyable for the whole family. Beautiful location but isolated. You need a car or rely on taxis if you plan to explore anywhere other than Heraklion... There is a regular bus service to and from the city. Evening entertainment is fine for very young children but not for teenagers or older. Animation team work hard with plenty of activities on the program. Built on the side of a hill going down to it's own beach which has a shuttle service every 20 minutes... No problem getting loungers there. Wifi available across the resort, including the beach.

Nice hotel with magnificent views

The hotel has a spectacular view of the ocean....its best feature. You can tell the hotel has some wear and tear with the swarms of visitors throughout the years, but if you just need a place to put your stuff while you sightsee, no big deal. On the other hand, if you're the family that doesn't want to leave the hotel...it's perfect. There's so much to do--from the pools, to the beach, and all the programs the hotel provides (i.e. mini club for kids, game nights and dances). I thought the food was abundant and varied. It was also delicious--but I'm not a picky eater, so I might not be the best judge. Between meals, the hotel offered snacks, drinks, and ice cream to hold you over. The atmosphere was nice and relaxing. A great place for families with kids. And the rooms were kept clean.
