The resort is a beautiful oasis of calm. The staff are charming and helpful and the whole place is so beautifully designed. It is a short walk (5-10 minutes) into the tiny town of Plaka, but it is a town packed with excellent restaurants.

Beautiful resort, extraordinary staff, delicious breakfast, thoughtfully designed rooms for families, nice gym and pools, convenient and easily walkable to the beach and town. Truly an extraordinary stay in every way. Kelari Restaurant is delicious and unique, and we had two amazing dinners there with exceptional service and lovely Cretan wine. One of the best resorts in which we have had the pleasure of staying. We'll be back!
