Arguably one of the best hotels I stayed at, with the kindest staff and a very big selection of food
Pros:

The private sharing pool area at the new hotel building was amazing, im surprised they dont have any pictures of it yet as it would definitely convince more people to book, besides that, the pool bar, food and the staff were absolutely amazing, the hotel was also very clean

Special thank you to the very kind and welcoming young lady who works at the night shift reception, as well as the pool bartenders, they were all amazing and made the stay more enjoyable, will definitely return in the future

Aside from the hotel, the area was also amazing as its remote enough to not worry about your rental getting scratched but also right in the heart of agia marina with plenty of markets, stores and restaurants available by foot so you dont have to always drive to chania

Pros:

Staff were pleasant, helpful and friendly, led by a great example from Anna, the manager.
All inclusive food option amongst the best we have experienced.
Property was spotless and room was of good size.
Even though this was boutique hotel of only about 50 rooms, there were still day and evening activities for those who wanted to join in.
Free parking was easy on a quiet rood just off the main route through Aghia Marina and outside the hotel.
There is a convenient pathway from the rear of the hotel down to the main road, which about 50 yards long. Getting back up shouldn’t be an issue for anyone of average fitness with some steps then up to the pool area, though not suitable this way for anyone with mobility issues.
All in all, we saw many good reviews before we booked and we were not disappointed.
I can think of many so- called 5* hotel chains who could learn much from the way this hotel is run…
Highly recommended!

Pros:

A fantastic and friendly hotel. There are only around 40 rooms making the hotel intimate, communal and respectful. Food is all fresh and higher standard to other 4* hotels l found. The snack bar l felt was little disappointing with just 1 or 2 selections of food (mainly pasties but occasionally hotdogs or pizzas). The beach is around 10 minute walk with sunbeds, bars and hotels. A bys stop is also putside that can tajevyiu to old town. Amenities are with 1 big pool and infant pool is right amount and basic so no water slides. The classes are engaging if you have Pedro. Highly recommend the hotel.
