A very pleasant stay and we will most likely return at some point.
Pros:

A very pleasant hotel in a wonderful elevated location, with unobstructed views of the sea. The location is convenient if you have a car. There is also a local bus service nearby, although I don't think the buses run particularly frequently.

Normally, there is a staircase leading directly down to the beach, but unfortunately it was washed away during this year's devastating floods. Hopefully, it will be restored by next year.

It's also worth mentioning that the breakfast is varied and very good. The hotel staff are always friendly and helpful. The housekeeping staff do an excellent job, making sure the rooms are thoroughly cleaned every day. No shortcuts when it comes to cleaning!

Cons:

If breakfast were served until 10:30 instead of 10:00, it would suit our lazy habits a little better. :) Of course, we missed having the stairs down to the beach, but the heavy floods was obviously beyond the hotel's control, and the staircase will most likely be restored by next season.

Hotel an der Durchgangsstraße in Ferma
Pros:

Das Personal war durchweg sehr freundlich und bemüht. Wir hatten ein Problem im Bad, das schnell behoben wurde. Die Zimmerreinigung war stets gründlich. Es gab extra Pool-/Strandhandtücher.

Cons:

Das Frühstücksbuffet war umfangreich, wir hatten aber große Schwierigkeiten etwas zu finden, das uns wirklich gut geschmeckt hat. Manches war wässrig, manches gummiartig, manches aus der Dose. Es gab keinen "richtigen" Kaffee, nur löslichen, den mochten wir überhaupt nicht. Die Säfte schmeckten extrem süß und künstlich. Das Zimmer war OK, das Bad allerdings schon etwas in die Jahre gekommen, man duschte in der Badewanne, manches hat gequietscht. Der Preis pro Nacht war unangemessen hoch.

Schönes Hotel mit einer ausgezeichneten Lage und sehr ruhig
Pros:

Kleines bis mittleres Hotel mit einer ausgezeichneten Lage. Sehr schöner Blick über eine kleine Bucht. Das Hotel Gebäude fügt sich sehr schön in die bestehende Landschaft ein. Sehr schöne Anlage, sehr ruhig und ohne Kindergeschrei.
Das Personal ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Würde ich wieder buchen.

Cons:

Das Frühstücks und Abend Buffet hat bezüglich Vielfalt und Geschmack deutlich Potenzial nach oben. Wird dem schönen und netten Hotel nicht gerecht.

Pros:

Frühstück und Abendessen im Hotel waren sehr gut, das Personal sehr freundlich. Wir hatten ein herrliches Zimmer mit sehr großem Balkon und direktem Blick auf das Meer, auch ist der Zugang zum Meer über einen gut ausgebauten Weg möglich. Die ganze Anlage ist sehr ansprechend und ruhig gelegen. Wer "action" haben will, ist hier fehl am Platz. Für uns war es ein guter Ausgangspunkt, um den Osten und Süden zu erkunden und im Anschluss den Pool und Strand zu genießen.

Pros:

un’eccellenza sotto ogni punto di vista!

Abbiamo soggiornato in questa splendida struttura a Creta e non possiamo che esprimere il nostro più sincero apprezzamento per la qualità del servizio, la pulizia impeccabile, la gentilezza di tutto il personale e, soprattutto, la straordinaria professionalità della direttrice.

Ciò che ci ha colpito maggiormente è stata la capacità di affrontare una situazione estremamente difficile, segnata da una grave inondazione che ha compromesso anche l’accessibilità della spiaggia. Nonostante le difficoltà, i disagi e le circostanze eccezionali, la direttrice e il suo staff hanno dimostrato una dedizione, una disponibilità e un’attenzione agli ospiti davvero fuori dal comune.

La struttura si distingue per la cura degli ambienti, la pulizia costante e l’attenzione a ogni dettaglio

La consigliamo assolutamente a chiunque desideri trascorrere una vacanza a Creta all’insegna della qualità, della professionalità e dell’ospitalità autentica.

Complimenti a tutta la squadra
