This is my third time at this resort. I've been at several hotels in the Chania area and this is the *only* one I have ever returned to. It is simply the best. The views are extraordinary, the staff are amazing and really go out of their way to make your stay memorable. You simply aren't experiencing all that Crete has to offer if you aren't staying here. It is the best hotel in my opinion and the only one worth returning to.

Very well kept property with a wonderful pool and even more wonderful staff. Food for breakfast is fantastic and very reasonably priced cocktails around the pool. The only downside is the number of smokers which meant it was rather unpleasant to sit on the balcony. This is not the hotels fault though!

Lovely hotel. Staff were very friendly and our room was clean. The hotel complex was great-pools was big enough and there were enough sun lounges. The beach opposite wasn’t very nice and the direct surroundings weren’t either. Just a short walk away from a shop, restaurants and better beaches. Overall a great holiday.
