We had a great 10 days stay in the hotel. Excellent facilities and a great pool area on the top of the hill. The room was advertised as a swim-up room with a little misleading picture here in Expedia. Instead of the swim-up rooms that share a long pool on the terrace area we lived at the pool site around two buildings with approx 10 room. Actually the better choice as it was very calm, was equipped with sunbeds for e very room and additional canopies. Had a great view towards the sea and the sunset every night. You just need to beware if you expect the same room as shown in the pictures. Great selection of food with different themes every day. Staff was a little slow at times, but still friendly.

Das Hotel ist perfekt für alle, die Erholung suchen. Durch die Hanglage hat man einen tollen Blick auf das Meer. Es gibt zwei Gemeinschaftspools, einen davon an der Poolbar. Viele der Zimmer haben einen eigenem Pool (empfehlenswert), andere teilen weitere größere Pools, die dann auch nur von den Zimmern mit „Swim-up“-Option genutzt werden können (diese sind nicht für die Allgemeinheit - bspw. der auf den Fotos zu sehende „schlangenförmige“ Pool). Das Essen war gut und abwechslungsreich. Der Service war sehr freundlich und bemüht. Alles war super sauber, sowohl unser Zimmer als auch der Rest der Anlage. Für Unternehmungen ist ein Mietwagen empfehlenswert, da fußläufig nichts erreichbar ist (nach Ierapetra sind es ca. 25-30min zu Fuß). Wir hatten einen tollen Aufenthalt und können das Hotel uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen.

La struttura in sé per sé merita, è molto scenica, con una bella piscina con bar; la camera è molto pulita e spaziosa, con piscina privata anch’essa molto pulita, la maggior parte del personale è cordiale, apparte un paio di elementi più scontrosi! Ma sono alcune le lacune che ho notato, in primis la spiaggia dell hotel è tenuta in pessime condizioni, con sabbia sporca lettine tutti disordinati e sporchi, poi non mi è piaciuto il servizio pulizie : la camera è pulita, ma non si può uscire alle 8.00 del mattino e alle 12.00 ancora la camera non è stata riordinata, con un bimbo piccolo diventa molto difficile; ultima cosa che mi ha davvero molto deluso, non per il prezzo ma per il gesto: mi è stato fatto pagare un caffè macchiato preso nella sala colazioni durante la colazione, prima volta che mi è capitato nella vita: secondo loro è stato preso nella beach pool, ma non è stato così! In conclusione con 350€ a notte ci si aspetta molto ma molto di più e soprattutto maggior attenzione alle famiglie che hanno bimbi piccoli, evitando di dare camere alla fine della scalinata

Worst hotel experience in Crete – avoid if you have a baby or mobility issues We stayed in 3 hotels during our trip to Crete, and we visit Greece twice a year – this was by far the worst experience. The hotel is absolutely not suitable for parents with a baby or anyone with reduced mobility: steep slopes, stairs everywhere (bar, restaurant, beach). We booked a sea view room as shown in the photos, but got a noisy room facing the main road, with constant traffic and hotel staff passing. They dared to say it was “better for a baby.” No baby cot was provided – just an unsecured sofa. How is a 5-month-old supposed to sleep on that? We asked for a change – they said “we’ll call you tomorrow.” No one called. Worse: they claimed they called the room while we told them we’d be out. Result? Wasted our time and ruined our day. They don’t know how to manage anything. No apology, no empathy, just “that’s how it is.”

Not for me.

Nice room & amazing view. Lovely welcome fruit platter & bubbly. However my room offered no shade after 2pm. No umbrellas. Apparently because of wind. Guess they don't know about concrete base umbrellas. So impossible to sit outside most of the day. Food very average. Built on a hill. Golf buggies available to drive you back up. Wouldn't want to be dependent on that in high season.

Wunderschönes Hotel mit super netten und hilfsbereiten Personal und extrem hoher Sauberkeit. Das Essen war super vor allem das Frühstück und das à la carte Essen mittags an der Beach Bar. Der wirklich einzige Kritikpunkt ist die Straße zwischen Hotel und Strand, die sehr befahren ist (gibt aber eine Unterführung zum Strand) & das weder ein Supermarkt noch Souvenir Shop direkt am Hotel sind.
