Smiling and friendly staff. Everyone is trying to help you. The rooms are bright and clean as is the hotel. Cleaning, change of towels every day. Replenishment of the minibar too.
A huge range of dishes in the main restaurant with a large presence of local and foreign dishes, a separate praise for desserts and a variety of cheese. 5 themed a la carte restaurants.
Really want to come back next year again.
Upon arrival at the hotel, we were given bracelets and settled within 15 minutes. We got a room in a bungalow opposite the pool. The room is all done in blue and white and gold. The room is excellent, everything is there, even scales for those who watch their weight. Upon arrival, our room was greeted with a welcome bottle of wine and fruit. In front of the room there is a terrace with a table and chairs for sitting in the evenings.
The hotel has a main restaurant, bars, a la carte restaurants - Italian, Mexican, Greek, Asian, there is sushi. We visited all the restaurants, the cuisine is excellent, a large selection of dishes, everything is very tasty. A chic selection of delicious ice cream, we don’t eat at home for the whole year, how much we ate during the holidays! There is a champagne bar that opens at 6pm. They give different types of champagnes, make cocktails based on champagne.
The hotel's beach is located across a small road, from both exits from the hotel there is a pedestrian crossing. Beach towels are issued against a deposit of 20 euros, you can change every day, on the side of the pastry shop at certain hours. Beach with small pebbles, like sand. The entrance to the sea is small pebbles, a little further stones. When the sea is not calm, algae may appear on the shore. There is no bar on the beach, but the hotel's pool bar is located across the road, and there are always staff walking along the beach and offering drinks from the bar. Sea water in the pools is not heated. Animation is carried out near the pools. Live music in the bar in the evening.
We did not take excursion programs, as we went only for the purpose of a beach holiday, and this hotel provided us with such a holiday. We are very pleased with the service at the hotel.
I'll tell you about my impressions in order:
1) Settlement.
Check-in was quick and comfortable. While our room was being cleaned and prepared for our move in, we had a relaxing lunch in a beautiful restaurant.
When we left the restaurant (about 1 pm), everything was already ready.
2) Number.
Rooms next to friends could not be obtained. But still, the rooms themselves were very nice.
We had a bungalow, a room on the first floor with a terrace.
The room has a spectacular large bed, really a lot of free space, furniture a la vintage, wooden floors, everything is very stylish and fresh.
There was also a bottle of wine as a welcome sign from the hotel. The mini bar had water, beer, fizzy drinks. Cleaning daily. The bathroom has all accessories - bathrobes, slippers, soap, gel, shampoo, etc.
3) Restaurants and food.
A huge selection of dishes, without exaggeration. I remember blue cheese, piglet, lamb, mussels, shrimp. Waiters offer drinks: beer, juices, water, wine - white, red, rose. Very courteous and smiling.
During the holiday we visited Italian A la carte, Mexican, Greek. I liked everything very much, the portions are huge, everything is delicious. The hotel has many bars. Including champagne - bar, cocktail bar, pool bars, crepes with coffee and cakes. Drinks are all worthy, there is a cocktail menu. There are plenty to choose from.
4) Animation.
During the day, Zumba, water gymnastics, stretching, Pilates were performed. In the evenings, children were mostly entertained.
5) Beach.
The beach is located across a small road on which cars rarely drive and athletes run in the morning.
The entrance to the sea is different everywhere, there is not very convenient, but there is also a good one. There are places where there are stones, and there are places without them.
I would like to summarize my review: the hotel is excellent, new, "delicious" in the literal and figurative sense! I liked everything very much!
The hotel is of a very high standard, real 5 stars. from the design of the hotel and the decoration of the rooms, to what you can’t show in the pictures, that is, to the service and attitude of the hotel employees. We felt like welcome guests from the first minute until the very departure.
The hotel is brand new, not shabby by tourists, the wear is invisible. The design of all public places is stylish, pleasant music plays, light is thought out.
The territory is not small, while it is cleaned very well, flowers grow everywhere, flower beds are broken, the grass is green, not withered.
there is an artificial lagoon with boats - canoes /
The food in the main restaurant is top notch. The choice is large, the food is very tasty. I can't even complain about anything. .
During the week we visited all five a la carte, unexpectedly liked Japanese and Mexican.
Blinnaya is also a good place. here are pancakes with a variety of fillings (from spicy to sweet). In general, gourmets will like the hotel.
The beach is pebbly, there were stones, but we quickly understood exactly where they were and successfully avoided them. Slippers may be needed, they generally remove problems.
Sunbeds and mattresses are of high quality and free of charge.
In general, the rest was a success, it's a pity now there are no such good offers...
It was the first time in Crete. Before that, they rested on the island of Kos, the island of Rhodes, near Athens...
The hotel is new, 2011, beautiful, the territory is well-groomed and clean, the original configuration of pools with sea water, bridges across the pools create the feeling of a small city. The rooms are spacious, clean, overlooking the sea, pools or flowering shrubs. Rooms are cleaned daily. The food in the main restaurant is tasty and varied, plus there are several a la carte restaurants on site... Friendly staff and pleasant service throughout the hotel. In the evening, there is live music in the open area near the restaurant. For children - animation, and during the day - playgrounds, a mini water park... Of course, there is not as much greenery on the territory of the hotel as we would like, but in two or three years, undoubtedly, it will be a truly paradise of Crete. One thing: the beach of the hotel, as it seemed to us, somewhat does not correspond to a 5 * hotel.
You can rent a car at the hotel, but it will be more expensive than, for example, in the neighboring town of Hersonissos, which takes about an hour to walk slowly. Well, somehow, we and our friends were satisfied with the rest, we didn’t want to leave at all.
