Cool hotel with great views. Top rating! Cozy place, by the sea. Cleanliness everywhere! In the rooms, in the restaurant, dishes, glasses! Bravo, guys! The food is varied and delicious! Thank you very much to the chefs and waiters and barwoman Maria. A wonderful manager of the restaurant. Special thanks to the receptionist Christina for her professionalism. Very attentive.

C'est un bel hôtel, pratique si vous désirez visiter le nord ouest de l'ile, voir le sud ouest (voiture obligatoire). Les chambres sont spacieuses, toutes avec balcons à l'étage et terrasse au rez de chaussée. Vue mer latérale depuis l'étage. La plage en face de l'hôtel est une plage de galets, prévoyez des chaussures pour vous baigner. Ce n'est certes pas la plus belle des plages de Crète, mais des transats et parasols gratuits mis par l'hôtel sont à disposition. Point de vue restauration, nous étions en tout inclus. Que ce soit le petit déjeuner, le déjeuner ou le diner, la cuisine est bonne mais très répétitive. Pour les boissons incluses dans le All Inclusive, oubliez les cocktails ou autres alcools, seulement du thé, café, bière pression, vin rouge, rosé et blanc et des sodas. La piscine en octobre était plus fraiche que la mer, pourtant bien exposé le soleil donne sur la terrasse de l'hôtel toute la journée.
