Comfortable stay, a bit pricy
Pros:

Comfortable modern room, very friendly and helpful staff, good location and very convenient private parking.

Cons:

Sea view is a bit small. Overall price is high for the value you get. There are a few other hotels in town where you would get better views.
No restaurant, but they have a bakery nearby which is convenient
There were 2 blankets in the room but a bit too thin for the time of the year (early may)

Stunning place to stay - we loved it!

The rooms are large and comfortable and ours had a gorgeous sea view
Friendliest and most helpful staff of our entire trip

Pros:

The rooms were beautiful, the style is stunning with the rock walls and concrete finishes. The room came with lots of amenities including shampoo (missing conditioner if that's important to you), shower gel and body moisturizer. There were robes and dental kit, it was a nice touch! There was also a few sodas in the fridge stocked which was so kind! Check in was easy and location was ideal, this would be an excellent place to settle in for a few days!

Cons:

The only qualm we have is there was a slight smell outside the room (kind of smelt like cat pee which is understandable with the strays), and the bed was very firm (which we found uncomfortable)

Un cadre exceptionnel
Pros:

Cadre et vue exceptionnels, hospitalité sans commune mesure, literie confortable et chambres spacieuses. Le personnel est vraiment dévoué à chaque client et lui fournit tout gratuitement (serviette de plage, parasol, parapluie (oui, ça arrive en Crète…), café, boissons…).

Cons:

Petit bémol au niveau de la luminosité des chambres durant la nuit. Les volets se ferment difficilement du fait de la présence d’une moustiquaire. La fenêtre de la salle de bain, sans volet, laisse largement entrer la lumière.

A really lovely well-run hotel.
Pros:

Very comfortables rooms. Hotel in a quiet area but a short walk to restaurants and the port. Wanted to write this review to highly commend the staff who did everything they could to help us when bad weather meant we had to extend our stay by a day and did so at a fair rate for the night.
