We had a wonderful experience at this hotel, especially with the spacious rooms and the luxurious private pool. The staff was genuinely helpful and made our stay more enjoyable. However, the dining options could be better, with some restaurants closed during our visit, and the buffet had room for improvement. Accessible nearby attractions added to the charm, but the distance from Chania necessitated expensive taxi rides.

Our stay was quite mixed. The pools were beautiful and well-maintained, offering a lovely atmosphere for relaxation. However, we encountered some significant issues with our room, particularly with unpleasant odors lingering for days, which was quite off-putting.

We had an amazing time at the hotel, enjoying the beautiful pool areas and the tranquil beach nearby.

We had a mixed experience during our stay. The staff were incredibly warm and friendly, making us feel welcomed, and the breakfast was nothing short of royal. However, the beach area was disappointing, as it was just rocky, and the hotel was filled with children, which detracted from our romantic getaway. Overall, it's a nice hotel but probably not suited for couples seeking peace and quiet.
