100/10!! Amazing
Pros:

One of the best stays of my life! The hotel is beautifully located right next to a stunning beach, with several small bays nearby where you can always find a calm place even on windy days.

What made this stay truly exceptional was the staff — especially Voula from the reception. She is an absolutely wonderful person who not only solves every problem immediately, but also anticipates guests’ needs and helps with everything with genuine kindness and professionalism. She made our stay perfect.

The hotel was exceptionally clean, with daily housekeeping, and there is also a very useful shop on site with everything you may need during your holiday. Perfect place for families as well, with a beautiful park and large playground nearby.

A special mention also goes to the restaurant located on the hotel grounds. The staff there were absolutely amazing and created such a warm and welcoming atmosphere every day.

Pros:

Posizione con vista eccezionale, posto molto bello, camera con vista diretta sulla spiaggia, il rumore del mare sempre accanto

Cons:

La pulizia era molto approssimativa, le dotazioni della cucina totalmente insufficienti. Durante il soggiorno, malgrado gli sforzi e la comprensione del personale della reception, non abbiamo avuto acqua calda,

Desolate Wohnung
Pros:

Super Lage direkt am Meer, Poolliegen gratis. Stadtbus in der Nähe.

Cons:

Die Wohnung wurde zwar als Souterrain bezeichnet, war auch total im Keller. 13Stufen!! hinunter, für die Moskitos ein super Platz. Keine Gitter an den Fenstern, Der Wäscheständer blieb wegen fehlender Sonne feucht.
Die Küche in desolatem Zustand..Die grössere Platte erreichte ca 80Grad, Die kleine, nur ca 8 cm musste die Pfannen von ca.25cm erhitzen, was 1,5 Stunden brauchte. Zudem in diesem Kellerraum nur 1 Lampe.

Bel luogo ma brutta esperienza con la pulizia della camera
Pros:

Buona posizione

Cons:

Camera sporca con copri piumone nell’armadio già usato dal precedente ospite, il comodino era pieno di fazzoletti usati e il lenzuolo, faceva intravedere macchie di sangue sul materasso.
Anche l’angolo cucina sporco sia i piatti che gli armadi.
Abbiamo chiesto due volte di provvedere a risistemare la stanza, non è stato possibile fare arrivare una donna delle pulizie e se ne occupata la receptionista in qualche modo.
Non ci sono state scuse né sconti, tantomeno il cambio di camera!
Non è stato piacevole dormire in quel letto!
Servizio clientela pessimo.

Solsemester på stranden
Pros:

Älskar närheten till stranden och havet.
Och att vara så nära staden Chania men inte höra "oljudet" av stad.

Cons:

Hade önskat bättre utrustat kök och något att städa och diska med.

Buen lugar, lindo complejo, pero hay que llevar hasta el detergente para lavar la vajilla!
Pros:

La ubicacion y el complejo. Playas hermosas cerca, a 2 cuadras una avenida con muchos negocios.

Cons:

El departamento esta poco equipado, no incluye desayuno la estadia, y no habia NADA en la cicina, ni esponja y detergente para lavar, ni sal o aceite, no dan productos de limpieza ni shampoo ni crema enjuague. HAy que equiparse con TODO.
La limpieza no es muy profunda, no revisaron como habian dejado la vajilla los huéspedes anteriores (bastante sucia al no tener elementos de limpieza). El pasillo tenia manchas de aglun liquido derramado que estuvieron los 4 dias de nuestra estadia, nadie lo limpio.

Great atmosphere, love the location & swimming facilities!
Pros:

Resort like feel yet family friendly atmosphere. Staff were amazing, there's a good bar/restaurant attached to the property & shop right next to building.
Pool with deckchairs is great & it's only seconds to a beautiful sandy beach if you prefer. Quiet location, nice atmosphere.

Cons:

The mattresses were a disappointment, two singles put together (one ok, one bad). Both divans were uncomfortable (as a bed & a couch), lack of kitchen equipment/cutlery/bowls, could do with better storage solutions but was ok. Wish there was a "do not disturb" sign as the cleaners are diligent but come in too often.

Walk right out to a beautiful beach that is all sand and shallow water for a long way. Wind protected from pretty much a
Pros:

The restaurant has amazing views and the food was delicious. Good snorkeling and I even saw a giant sea turtle feeding two different days.
