Not bad, nothing to complain about, with 300 odd rooms it's not so intimate but the upside is that there is a certain infrastructure and good staffing levels. The hotel is in good condition and well looked after, the room had two bathrooms in very good condition and two rooms with a balcony overlooking the edge of the garden and... More

Perfectly situated in a mid of north of Crete, nice beaches, close to Rethymnon and its cosy old town, good service, nice facilities. In September still crowded and already windy on a beach. Personnel is professionally managed and speaks all main EU languages plus russian.

The hotel is a bit isolated from any commercial activity zones nearby, so a leasurly evening stroll, apart from a beach walk, is hardly an option. It looks like this hotel understands very well that in times of crisis, better services are the best way to attract clients. All staff is extremely friendly and professional. Spacious and clean rooms. A... More
