I had a wonderful stay at this hotel with a few highlights and some minor drawbacks. The views were stunning, particularly from my room, and the beach was a short walk down the slope. The staff was friendly, especially the barman who brought some humor to my evenings. However, the steep road and noise from the service staff early in the morning were a bit bothersome at times.

I stayed in room 624, which was spacious and had a great view. It was really nice, but the steps to get there and the steep road were a workout.

The hotel features spacious rooms with great views over the beach and mountains, and the service staff is incredibly helpful, always going the extra mile. However, it’s a bit disappointing that the rooms we stayed in hadn't been renovated, which leaves them below the expected five-star standard. The location is stunning, surrounded by beautiful scenery and right next to the beach, making it ideal for various activities.

The location was beautiful, nestled on a hillside with lovely gardens, though getting to some spots involved quite a few steps.

I had a fantastic holiday at this hotel, thanks to the clean and spacious family-friendly rooms with two bedrooms and two bathrooms, which were perfect for traveling with my kids. The service was friendly and welcoming, giving off a real Cretan hospitality vibe. The location is quite convenient as we could explore the area easily. However, be prepared for quite a few steps or the mini train to get around, which could be an issue for some. The seafood BBQ was a real treat, but you'll need to budget for that extra cost.

I had a great time at this hotel, which is located right by the beach and near some lively restaurants. The service was outstanding, with friendly staff who made my family feel special. Although the rooms were spacious and had stunning sea views, I did find it a bit tricky since I had requested a lower floor.
