Beautiful view and clean beach, but the hotel building was outdated. The air conditioner dripped all night, and the noise from the neighbouring room via internal door was unbearable. It ruined my sleep quality.

This is a budget friendly hotel with a great sea view for couples and families. A minor issue is that the hotel was a little outdated and needed some minor aesthetic repairs but the staff was friendly and eager to help. It is a multi level hotel with amazing views of the sea and mountains from any level with lounge, bar and resto areas. Access to the immense pool and private beach were easy with showers and w/c close by and lounge chairs with umbrellas. The complimentary breakfast was delicious and with variety, surprisingly. We booked the standard sea view room which was spacious with extra beds and seating. We were on the fourth floor centred over the pool and straight sea view…stunning! Two issues that irked me was the wifi connection not working while in our room but good connection while sitting on our balcony and the mosquito plug repellent necessary for the room. I have to say that it was very unfortunate that Covid rules had to be applied and there was no music and activities which I believe would have impacted my opinion for a better review …safe travels!

could be a fantastic place
we stayed 3 nights at the resort,fantastic location,the biggest pool I have ever seen,beautiful private beach, what else could we ask for? the problem is the resort is old and is in need of fixing. When we arrived we were assigned a room,the a/c did not work,we were changed to a better room(upgrade) and the toilet did not work.We were upgraded to another room(a suite) this was great but there was a water leak in the bathroom,we put a towel on the floor and it was OK.This shows that the place badly need fixing. The staff is great and helpful,the restaurant on premise is good .It could be one of the best resort in Crete if only....

Go for the view and forgive the grande lady's age
All as other reviewers say: rooms are dated but clean, view is spectacular. Hotel grounds very pleasant, staff at check-in excellent, barman at beach bar not so good. Hotel is making an effort with decor in dining rooms to make up for aged condition of the property. I enjoyed my stay and would go again.
