I was on holiday in Crete at the end of September. The weather was excellent, not hot, you could sunbathe, walk, the sea was warm.
I chose the hotel for a quiet and relaxing holiday. It is located in the south of the island in Damnoni Bay, where you can enjoy the untouched nature of Crete.
The transfer to the hotel is long: 2-3 hours, but during this time you can see the island.
The hotel is small, there is a restaurant, a pool bar with a beautiful view of the sea.
I had a standard double room with panoramic windows offering a wonderful view of the sea and mountains. It is not big, there is a TV, a refrigerator, a tea set, slippers, a bathroom, towels, a hairdryer, a safe, air conditioning, and a balcony with a clothes dryer. Wi-Fi signal is good and fast throughout the hotel.
The food is tasty but monotonous: chicken, fish, meat, meatballs, vegetables, fruits, sweets, cola, tea, cappuccino, tequila, gin, local vodka, wine, beer. No one will remain hungry.
There is no animation.

The beach is not far, 5-10 minutes leisurely. Those who find it difficult can use a free minibus that takes them to the beach. The sea is magnificent, the water is clean and transparent. The beach is sandy, the entrance to the sea is gentle, no coral is required, no sea urchins. The hotel has its own sun loungers and umbrellas. On the beach there are changing cabins, showers, and taps for washing your feet from sand. Beach towels are provided against a deposit of five euros.
There are many beautiful bays and beaches nearby. You can walk through the olive grove to the village of Plakias, where there is a promenade, many taverns and restaurants, supermarkets and souvenir shops. A small yacht runs from the hotel beach to Preveli Beach, Marmara Beach, Loutro.
I really enjoyed my holiday here, the sea is gorgeous, the nature is amazing, there is something to see and places to take a walk. This is the place for those who want to take a break from the hustle and bustle and enjoy the sea and mountains.
