Pros:

Start with positives which are few. Pool and pool area lovely. Bed linen clean. Negatives: we were in one of the older rooms, up many steps from the restaurant and pool. Fine for us but many people struggled, although there was a golf buggy available. Room tired, sofas, which must turn into sofa beds looked really stained, so much so we didn’t want to sit on them. The noise coming from other residents rooms awful. Even though there was a living area between our bedroom and the adjoining room we could hear snoring all night. The music coming from their room was awful, in fact had to ask them to turn the volume down. Sounded as if it was coming from the living area in our room. Bath and hand towels a dirty grey, looked very old. Footprint on our living room wall! We are vegan, our choice, but limited to salad and fruit. When checking out staff did not ask how our stay was which if they had asked I would have told them. Disappointing stay to say the least!!!

Mi aspettavo di più
Pros:

Molta buona la colazione e ben organizzata nonostante la quantità enorme di persone. Belle anche le piscine.
La nota negativa è la camera. La nostra infatti si trovava nella parte più datata dell'intero complesso. C'era una moquette macchiata e consumata. L'appartamento era davvero piccolo e una delle camere, così come il bagno, aveva la finestra sul corridioio interno dell'hotel. Mai cambiati gli asciugamani in 3 notti.

Πολύ καλή επιλογή
Pros:

Είναι πολύ καλό 4αστερο ξενοδοχείο, η τιμή που το βρήκα ήταν πολύ καλή , έκλεισα το all inclusive πακέτο , αν δε θες την καθημερινή αναζήτηση για φαι στην ακριβή Ελούντα, είναι μαστ η επιλογή το all inclusive.
Άριστο προσωπικό , πολύ καθαρό , πολύ καλό και με ποικιλία φαι και καλά ποτά.
Το μόνο που ίσως πρέπει να βάλουν στο πακέτο του all inclusive είναι ο fredo espresso , επιλογή για δωρεάν κρύο καφέ μου έδωσαν μόνο το φραπέ

Puutteita muuten mukavassa huoneessa
Pros:

Huoneen parveke oli hieman epäsiistin takapihan/talotekniikan suuntaan. Keittiön altaan hana puuttui, mutta huoneistossa oli kaksi ilmastointilaitetta. Hotellissa pyydettiin Hotel.comin voucheria, mutta sellaista ei minulle toimitettu. Sain vahvistuskirjeen, mutta se oli suomeksi.

Dårlig oplevelse
Pros:

Meget dårlig oplevelse, ekstrem uhøflig og meget lidt hjælpsom reception. Havde bestilt superior værelse, der var intet superior ved det, men ok helt almindeligt værelse. WIFI virkede ikke under vores ophold og igen ingen hjælp fra receptionen. Maden i restauranten var ganske ordinær. Skøn udsigt og dejligt poolområde, hvis man er til saltvandspool. For langt fra den dejlige by Elounda til at kunne gå en aftentur (shuttlebussen kører kun til kl. 17). Vi kommer ikke igen.
