We had a wonderful stay at this hotel and would highly recommend it!
The hotel is very cozy and has two clean swimming pools. There were always plenty of sunbeds available, both by the pools and on the beautiful beach, so we never had any problems finding a place to relax.
The staff were incredibly friendly, kind, and helpful. We especially want to thank the reception team, who gave us excellent advice about the local bus routes and explained how to travel to Heraklion and Chania. There is also a bus stop just a 5-minute walk from the hotel, with regular buses to the beautiful Old Town of Rethymno.
When we arrived, the hotel manager kindly upgraded our room free of charge to one with a sea and pool view, which made our stay even more special. The manager and the reception staff were always smiling, welcoming, and eager to help with any questions we had.
The hotel also offers a gym, an aquarium, and evening entertainment such as a music quiz, DJ nights, and traditional Greek dancing.
Our flight was late in the evening, and the hotel allowed us to extend our room until we needed to leave, which we really appreciated.
Thank you so much to the wonderful staff for making our holiday so enjoyable.,especially thanks to manager,reception staff! We would definitely recommend this hotel and would love to come back!
If you’re reading this, don’t hesitate — come here!
I have plenty to compare it with, having visited many countries and resorts with a similar concept, and I can honestly say that this place offers an outstanding combination of quality and value, especially with the all-inclusive package.
Everything here is thoughtfully designed down to the smallest detail. The rooms are excellent and fully equipped with everything you need — and definitely choose a sea view 😉. The staff are wonderful, and the food is absolutely amazing. Special thanks to the chefs!
The whole resort is spotless and gives a true sense of comfort and relaxation. On the beach, the sunbeds, umbrellas, and tables are not crowded together, so there is plenty of personal space.
Although the territory is quite compact, it is perfectly planned and organized. We loved absolutely everything!
A huge thank you to the entire staff, and special respect to the management for caring not only about the guests but also about the employees. Many vacationers here noticed and appreciated that as well.
Your concept is fantastic. I wish you continued success and prosperity! ❤️
And if you’re wondering whether you should come here — the answer is definitely YES! 💕☺️
I am deeply disappointed with my stay at this hotel. It is advertised as a 5-star establishment, but the reality is nowhere near that standard. I completely feel like I did not get my money's worth.
Here is a breakdown of why I cannot recommend this hotel:
Misleading Amenities & Facilities: The description claims there are four swimming pools, which is a massive stretch—in my eyes, there is only one real pool. In the gym, the treadmill was completely out of order. As for entertainment, it was non-existent. The only "entertainment" you will find here is a cat wandering around the property during the day.
Disappointing Buffet & Bar Service: If you don't show up early, the buffet empties out quickly. One evening at 9:00 PM, there was no chicken left. Even though the buffet doesn't close until 9:30 PM, the chef flat out refused to replenish it. Furthermore, they only provide water bottles upon arrival and do not replenish them during your stay, which feels incredibly cheap for an all-inclusive hotel. The bars were frequently left unattended, and the main bar closed at 5:30 PM instead of its scheduled 6:00 PM closing time.
Room Maintenance & Front Desk Issues: My room flooded because the shower drain was completely clogged, and the toilet seat was loose. I had to ask the front desk three separate times to fix these issues. They only finally intervened after I escalated the matter and spoke directly to the manager.
Poor Management & Staff Attitude: I raised all of these points

Läget är helt perfekt, direkt på stranden med endast poolen mellan havet och resturangen.
All inclusive maten var rätt enformig och sådär.
Gymmet var obefintligt.
Hotel mit eigenem Strand, so nah waren wir noch nie direkt am Strand. Reinigungspersonal top, Pool und Strand Top.
Gym ist leider ein Witz, Frühstück könnte besser sein. Aber ansonsten ein Super Hotel.
Fantastiskt läge vid stranden.
Maten var ok men hade förväntat mig bättre matutbud och högre klass på maten.

Das Essen hat uns leider überhaupt nicht gefallen, was nervig war das man nicht selber sein Getränk auffüllen konnte im Essens Bereich und der Zustand am Strand sah auch nicht gut aus. Damit sind die liegen am Strand gemeint sehr unordentlich, war einfach kein schönes Erscheinungsbild. Meerwasser war eigentlich sehr schön wenn die Algenblätter nicht wären, was ich damit meine man könnte auch was dafür tun. Ansonsten war das Zimmer schön, sauber und das Personal war nett.
A várt öt csillagos élményt amit a szálloda ígért meg sem közelíti. Jó esetben is csak erős közepesre tudjuk értékelni. A szállodán belül még elfogadható a környezet és az ellátás de azon kívűl minősíthetetlen. Pár lépésre eltávolodva a szállodától minden televan szeméttel. Nincsenek üzletek a környéken sem éttermek. Ha kellemes környezetre vágytunk akkor be kellett utazni a 14 km -re lévő Rethimno-ba.
The expected five-star experience promised by the hotel was not even close. At best, we can only rate it as a strong average. Within the hotel, the environment and services are still acceptable, but outside, they are unacceptable. Just a few steps away from the hotel, everything is littered with trash. There are no shops or restaurants in the area. If we wanted a pleasant environment, we had to travel to Rethymno, which is 14 km away.
Das Personal ist aufmerksam, freundlich und zuvorkommend. Die Zimmer haben eine sehr gute Größe, nur die Betten sind zu weich ( aber das ist Personenbezogen). Nicht gefallen hat uns, dass der Abfluß in der Dusche sehr stark gerochen hat und das Badezimmer dabei immer unter Wasser stand. Gut gefallen hat uns allerdings, daß man sich Strandhandtücher ausleihen konnte und ein Lunchpaket für die Tagesausflüge bestellen konnte.
