Pros:

L'hotel è esteticamente bello, circondato da bellissimi fiori e piante

Cons:

Purtroppo è un hotel per niente ospitale, il proprietario è scorbutico e maleducato, urlava sempre e addirittura eravamo intimoriti nel passare davanti alla reception per non incontrarlo. Purtroppo non ci siamo rilassati perché dalla stanza si sentivano le sue urla perché era sempre arrabbiato e litigava sempre e in vacanza le liti di famiglia non è qualcosa che si vorrebbe sentire. Peccato, perché la struttura ha un potenziale che viene in secondo piano a causa delle cattiva gestione del proprietario.

Pros:

Beautiful scenery and a great vibe

Cons:

Continuous problems with the internet. The Wi-Fi kept disconnecting throughout the stay, and I was often left without internet access. A big disappointment and a major downside of the stay.

Pros:

צוות העובדים נחמד, מיטה נוחה, חדר מרווח, בריכה שקטה ונקיה

Cons:

ליקויים קטנים כמו נורה מהבהבת במרפסת, סתימה חלקית במקלחת, אם הכיסוי בסדין לא מספיק יש שמיכת צמר.

Great stay for the value
Pros:

The location is great with a car, one of the best sand beaches and one of the best cretan restaurants are close. The young boy at the reception is super friendly and helpful. The pool has a great view and not crowded.

Cons:

You hear a lot of airport activity, airplanes of all kind but you hear them around many places in Crete.

Pros:

The staff were very kind and helpful, and always happy to assist us with anything we needed. The hotel’s common areas were also pleasant and welcoming.

Cons:

One thing we really didn’t enjoy was the military aircraft flying directly overhead every day during training exercises. The noise was very intrusive and, for us, it was a particularly unpleasant part of the experience, especially when trying to relax and enjoy a peaceful holiday.

Cons:

We stay in hotel not in bungalows. Breakfast is very poor. We buy some products from shop for breakfast. View from balcony. Small room and old hotel. Too expensive for this standard even during the summer holidays

Unfortunately, our stay here was far from relaxing.
Pros:

The location itself is beautiful, and that is probably the biggest positive thing I can say about this accommodation

Cons:

The soundproofing is practically non-existent. You can hear absolutely everything, doors being unlocked, people walking in other rooms, conversations, movement around the property. The noise made it very difficult to properly rest, and I honestly feel like I’m leaving more tired than when I arrived.

Breakfast was also disappointing. The food did not seem fresh and often felt like the same items were being served again from previous days. Another thing we found quite inconvenient is that coffee is only available during breakfast, starting at 8 AM. There is no possibility of having a coffee earlier in the morning or later during the day.

The property has a lot of potential because the location and surroundings are genuinely beautiful, but unfortunately the overall experience did not match that. When you come on holiday, you expect to be able to rest and enjoy your stay, and that simply wasn’t the case for us.

I personally would not choose to stay here again.
