We stayed for 10 nights, absolutely beautiful hotel, great location, lovely buffet breakfast. Having our own pool on the balcony in the premier room was a blessing in the heat. My wife and I both had really nice and relaxing massages in the Spa. Will definitely book again, we had a great time. Thank you

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!

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 .

Excellent hotel that feels like a spa. Top service all around. Ate at the hotel restaurant twice to change things up. A little pricey but some wonderful plates and chef complementary dishes. Tuna tartar and pork dish were very good. Note that it’s located on a steep hill along with many steps from the pool to the room but we made it our daily workout.

Nice view

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.
