Great location, Staff were lovely and nice, vegetarian food was not great but there are loads of resturants around within 10mins walk. Beach was lovely. They upgraded us to a suite (sea view) which was absolutely lovely of them to do but it was quite a bit of track to get the room. Would love to go back and would recommend this hotel.

The food was extraordinary! A lot of variety, every day there were different themes, the flavor is incredible and many options for all tastes. Mainly at dinner. My congratulations to the chef! He always looked very aware of everything. The breakfast is varied. The snacks on different days there are options of gyro, pizzas and bbq that were incredibly delicious. There are different drink options and the service in Marina and bridge bar is very good. The rooms are very comfortable and spacious. I loved the hotel

Mycket fin vistelse! Jag och mina 3 barn (11,14,17år) hade en fantastisk vistelse här på höstlovet. Stranden är fantastisk! Strandbaren likaså. Läget mycket bra, roligt att kunna strosa runt i små affärer på kvällarna. Stor super market precis bredvid. Bra platt trottoar för löppass, går att springa till Chania om man vill köra långpass. Gymmet dåligt, men bra löpband där. Maten helt ok, ffa tema-dagarna. Mycket vänlig personal, ffa Stratos i baren! Mycket prisvärt! Kan varmt rekommendera hotellet och vi kommer gärna tillbaka!

Fint og rent hotell. Vi fikk et stort rom med stor balkong og havutsikt. Bassenget var iskaldt (oktober), men det var heldigvis bra temperatur i sjøen. Praktisk at hotellet ligger rett ved stranden. Vi hadde all inclusive. Maten var god og variert, men vinen og drinkene var av dårlig kvalitet. Det var veldig mye bråk i restauranten, av og til sånn at det var vanskelig å snakke sammen. Helt unødvendig å spille musikk der, det ble bare ekstra mye støy. De ansatte er veldig hyggelige og hjelpsomme.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Our view from the balcony was very nice. The biggest upset was at the time of booking was when we contacted an Expedia customer service agent to confirm if the room was in fact all inclusive (as it was advertised as an all inclusive hotel) the agent confirmed that this room was all inclusive but that he couldn’t book it through his system and that we had to do it ourselves online. Unfortunately when we checked in we were told our room doesn’t have the inclusive package. Very disappointing for the price we paid for 4 nights and the dated condition of the room and hotel.

The property is as advertised on Expedia. I recommend staying at the start or end of the tourist season. There are more room options available so you can get an upgrade and there are no crowds. We're considering coming back next year with the entire family. The only problem was the lack of 24/7 maintenance and administration during the slower months. Not a big deal for non-emergency requests. Otherwise, the property is clean, has amenities galore, and the area has amazing restaurants, and the view from our balcony garden to the sea is spectacular.

Hyvä hotelli perhematkailijalle

Hotelli sijaitsee parinkymmenen minuutin matkan päässä Hanian lentokentästä. Hotellin lähialueella on paljon ravintoloita ja peruskauppoja, joten alueelta ei välttämättä tarvitse lähteä pidemmälle. Hotellilla on oma rantapätkä ja varsinkin pienten lasten kanssa matkustaessa loiva hiekkapohjainen ranta oli mitä mainioin. Hotelli oli mielestäni hyvä 4 tähden hotelli. Huoneet siistejä ja riittävän tilavia kahdelle aikuiselle ja kahdelle pienelle (5 ja 3 vuotiaat) lapselle. Kaksi uima-allasaluetta varmisti sen, että tilaa riitti sekä uimareille että auringonottajille. Ainoan miinuksen annan aamiaisesta. Vaihtoehtoja oli rajallisesti ja laatu vain keskinkertaista.

Der Zustand der Zimmerausstattung ist allgemein ein bissche alt. Die Zimmerausstattung und die Sauberkeit des Zimmers entspricht weit nicht einen 5-Stern Standdard. Der Personal ist sehr freundlich.
