Perfect!
Pros:

The food is super tasty. They really put heart in cooking. They also have a different theme of the day, like Mexican or Chinese day, but on that day you can still get a proper local food.

The view from balcony at 9th floor is breathtaking. People are super nice. We will definitely come back.

All the best!

Amazing
Pros:

We stayed there for a night but what can I tell about this hotel !! Location ? Amazing . Staff always smiling and willing to help. Restaurant and pools were clean and quite comfortable!
What impressed us the most was the stuff at the bar during the night! Stratos and Yiannos if I spell them names correctly!
Stratos with his intelligent sense of humor was not only there to give us the drink but to have a small talk with us every time we wanted to with a huge smile on his face !! Special thanks to this guy for making our night there and recommending some amazing places to visit in chania !!
Yiannos as well was very efficient and quite fast on picking up the empty glasses from our table !
We definitely recommend this hotel and looking forward to come back !!

Generalnie hotel na plus. Godny polecenia.
Pros:

Śniadania był wyśmienite. Dość duży wybór. Obiady i kolacje także były bardzo smaczne. Ryby i owoce morza pycha. W cenie były leżaki na plaży. Ponadto miła, pomocna obsługa na każdym kroku.

Cons:

Brakowało nam nam trochę wieczornych animacji. W piątek była muzyka na żywo, ale w sobotę i niedzielę nic się już nie działo. Może dlatego, że już po sezonie typowo wakacyjnym.
