We stayed at this hotel in the second half of June 2012. We chose this hotel due to reasonable prices and positive reviews. All expectations were justified. We were met by the wife of the owner of the hotel (Dimitras), Renata, and gave us a wonderful room on the second floor with a sea view. The rooms are quite simple but very comfortable. Two rooms: a bedroom with two beds that can be moved together and a TV and a living-kitchen with a stove, refrigerator and all necessary utensils, as well as a table, chairs and 2 more small beds. And a bathroom with hot water. Large balcony with dryer, table with chairs.
Rooms are cleaned every day, linen is changed every 3-4 days.
The hotel also has a wonderful swimming pool and WIFI zone. Airplanes fly, but you quickly get used to them, it’s even interesting to look at them while lying on the beach.

The beach at the hotel is quite narrow and was completely flooded by the end of June, but this is not a problem, since the neighboring beaches belonging to various taverns and cafes are very comfortable, while staying on them is free and unlimited, subject to the purchase of something from the menu, at least water. The prices are pleasing.
In terms of food: we went a couple of times to the neighboring Ambrosia, everything is really very good, but then we found a place where we liked it even more. If you walk to the right of the exit from the hotel along the embankment, there will be a tavern with a yellow sign, which, in my opinion, is called "Tavern" : ) Unlike Ambrosia, there are much fewer visitors there, due to less advertising, but at the same time chic, a varied and inexpensive menu from the hostess and, concurrently, the chef - Doni, as well as the incredibly hospitable attitude of the waiters (the friendly Michalis was especially remembered : ). This tavern has one more advantage over Ambrosia: the absence of insects on the tables and in the air : ) This is explained by the fact that on each table there is a small pretty flower, which for some reason they are afraid to fly up to. In general, the dishes in taverns are very large, along with the bill they always brought a "gift from the establishment" in the form of watermelon slices, cakes and a decanter of Raki (local grape vodka). Considering the size of the dishes, the food comes out pretty cheap. For two with wine and cocktails about 25 euros.
There are several shops near the hotel, and a giant supermarket is a 20-minute walk away. Comfortable buses run constantly to Heraklion. We managed to walk around this beautiful city several times and even take a ferry to Athens.
In general, we all really liked it and, if the opportunity arises, we want to return there!
