Amazing resort with very friendly and helpful staff. Pools were great and well maintained and the water slides kept my 11 year old, and me, entertained as did the Tennis courts. Very relaxing and fantastic sunset views. Limited things to do in the immediate vicinty and the buffet food could have been better. Otherwise really enjoyed the stay and made full use of the spa.

We loved this hotel! We chose this hotel because of location, a little secluded but 20 minutes from Rethymno. It was nice to have the seclusion and quiet feel since we were on our honeymoon. Staff was wonderful, accommodations were wonderful. They sent us a bottle of champagne when they found out we were on our honeymoon. Only complaint was that our shower kept getting flooded and there was a drainage smell, but staff fixed it right away. Also, our pool light in our room was not getting fixed. The night staff didn't know too much about technical support, so we would have to wait until morning for things to get fixed. Absolutely loved our room setup, and how the bed was faced towards the window.

An absolute gem. One might never have to leave the resort due to how comfortable and accommodating it is. OR. It is most convenient to nearly all Crete has to offer if adventuring. The staff are tremendous. Above and beyond always with a smile. The hotel is perfectly appointed with something for everyone.

Top notch service from the moment you walk in. Everybody, and I mean everybody there provides the best service/friendliness/helpfulness. Whoever does the hiring there does a great job finding such incredible employees. The resort itself is amazing. Clean, beautiful, beautiful views, great pools, good food. I can’t say enough about this place. I guess the one negative (or positive for some people) is that it’s quite a drive to get anywhere. But I guess that’s just Crete being a big island with everything spread out.

This must be my best stay at a hotel ever (i’m 37 years old and travel alot). BEAUTIFUL hotel & our room was gorgeous! Nice, polite and service minded staff that always helped me and my gf if needed. Great location with a private beach, great pool area with a nice bar. Spa, gym and 3 restaurants! Our week here was worth every penny and we will love to visit again soon 😊 also thank you for your lovely farewell gift bag with Greek olive oil and candy. 12/10!

This was our last stop on our Greece vacation and we were looking forward to relaxing, but that was not what happened at this hotel. This hotel has a lot of work to do to make it a 5 star. We had three different rooms during our stay (and we aren’t picky people at all) our first two rooms had a very bad sewage smell so we asked to be moved. They ended up upgrading us (which we appreciated) to a room that smelt fine. It was at the top of the resort. Rude staff - The staff at the front desk as well as some staff at the main restaurant staff were rude. They made you feel bad for asking for anything. There were two members of the staff looking at TikTok’s as we entered the restaurant one night and didn’t acknowledge us to seat us. There was also some weird tension from the servers in the main restaurant one night, didn’t make for a good environment. Repairs - The hotel is new and looked great in pictures but it felt like it had been open for 10 years. There are things that need significant repairing already - some of the pools leak, our door lock was broken in one of our rooms, tiles are chipped and cracked, the lift broke down one night. Cleanliness - there were ants on food trays that were left outside of rooms for 12 hours. There were also cockroaches around the hotel area. Overall feels like they can do better on the cleanliness.

Good quality rooms + pools - poor food + location
A good quality hotel with some disappointing elements to our stay. The rooms are very comfortable and cleaned very well. We had a shared swim up room and it was very spacious even with 3 people in one room. The pools are very good and sun loungers really comfortable. Service by the pool was in general very good, however the drink quality was more "all inclusive" than al a carte (even though you are paying for it). Don't be fooled by instagram, the drinks don't look like that around the pool. They are very quickly made and of average quality. The breakfast buffet is by far the worst I have ever experienced. For the cost of a room you would expect some level of freshly cooked food, but its all buffet. They have a lady making omelettes, but its poured out of a 3 litre pre-mixed jug and tasted horrible. Buffet eggs were under cooked and pre-cooked boiled eggs were raw. There was plenty of pastry / pancakes etc so young children would probably be happy. In a nut shell they are serving a cheap buffet breakfast that you would expect in a lower class of hotel. You can have breakfast in your room / pool on a floating platter - but its just the buffet brought to you so don't waste your money. Location is poor you can't walk anywhere - the sister hotel on the beach in front is separated by a motorway, there is a free shuttle. You have to get a taxi to visit any restaurants outside the hotel or the sister hotel - 18 euro to small town / 50 euro to the large town

We had an amazing stay here. The property itself was spectacular being new.. the staff were flawless .. extremely hospitable and willing to please.. we had spa treatments which were ok… but the rest of the resort and the staff negated that.. the annexed resort by the beach means you can have the best of both world .. water sports offered at the sister resort .. would thoroughly recommend to anyone wanting a luxury break. Food wise the half board main restaurant option was decent .. ate at the other restaurants but were not to my taste but despite all that I would still thoroughly recommend !
