Pros:

Wir waren eine Woche mit unseren (älteren Söhnen) hier. Tolles deluxe Zimmer. Wohnzimmer ( 2 Einzelbetten,) Schlafzimmer ( doppelbett/ 2 einzellbette) je was man mag. Tolles Hotel , Tolles Essen auch wenn wir größere Auswahl gewohnt sind. Es findet sich immer was für einen und alles schmeckt fantastisch. Der Barmann ist toll und auch der Inhaber Stavros immer sehr hilfsbereit bei allen Anliegen. Das ganze Personal war sehr nett und gut gelaunt. So saubere und gepflegte Pools habe ich noch in keinem Hotel erlebt. Lage top wenn man mit ein Mietwagen hat. Alle wichtigen Hot Spots in max 90 Min erreichbar. Kann das Hotel bestens empfehlen.

Cons:

Nichts.

Pros:

Erittäin siisti hotelli, jossa iloinen ja palvelualtis henkilökunta. Mukavat uima-altaat. Monipuolinen ruoka. Ilmastointi toimi moitteettomasti. Parvekkeelta upeat näkymät merelle.

Cons:

Aurinkotuoleja varattiin pyyhkeillä aikaisin aamusta, vaikka se ei ollut sallittua. Tähän voisi henkilökunta puuttua.
Kehitysehdoitus: Ruokien allergeenit voisi merkitä lapuilla, jotta ei tarvitsisi häiritä henkilökuntaa jatkuvalla kyselemisellä. He kyllä ystävällisesti selittivät mitä voimme syödä ja mitä pitää välttää.

Atmosfera stworzona przez ludzi sprawiła że długo będziemy pamiętali ten wyjazd
Pros:

Ludzi,ludzi,ludzie. Obsługa hotelu wspaniała w szczególności witający manager Starvros oraz barman Sasha. Jedzenie bardzo smaczne. Lunch i kolacja w szczególności i codziennie coś nowego.
Błyskawiczne dojście do plaży, która mimo że jest kamienista to przyjemna. Dno morza jest piaszczyste.
Animacje co drugi dzień i nie da się przy nich nudzić.
Blisko sklepy z pamiątkami oraz lokalny market.
Parking bezpłatny i bez problemu można było znaleźć miejsce parkingowe.

Cons:

5 euro za dwa leżaki na plaży za cały dzień. Dla gości hotelu mogły by być darmowe.

Très bon séjour
Pros:

Emplacement TB pour graviter dans l'ouest de la Crète, dans environnement calme et reposant.

La plage n'est vraiment pas la plus belle mais l'eau reste bien claire et ça change de la piscine . Piscine non chauffée, un peu fraîche en octobre mais faisable. Quelques bouées et ballons à disposition. Serviettes de plage sur demande gratuitement.
Shorts de bains acceptés.
Piscine et extérieurs TB entretenus

Chambres propres. Frigo bruyant la nuit . Kitchenette inutile.
Les murs sont fins par contre . Heureusement, dans l'ensemble , résidence calme .

La nourriture est bonne . On retrouve chaque jour des indémodables crudités, tzatziki, feta ...mais le plat varie avec toujours une spécialité crétoise . Les produits font qualitatifs. Pour les enfants frites ( maison) ou pâtes à tous les repas possible.

Personnel du restaurant discret . Personnel à l'accueil efficace .

Wifi très efficace.

Cons:

Les desserts sont moins appréciables car beaucoup de gâteau mousse. Et les boissons toujours chimiques ! Ce sont les 2 points faibles niveau nourriture.

Les 3 animations hebdomadaires sont adaptées aux retraités très présents dans cet hôtel . Nous n'avons pas aimé ( chant, karaoké,...)

A noter, on rejoint le restaurant par des passages extérieurs et quand il pleut , ce peut être gênant.

Cela reste un très bon séjour pour nous qui aimons le calme. On le recommande bien sûr.

Good stay
Pros:

Very clean and well kept, staff are nice and the room was big.

Cons:

We thought the food and drinks could have been a bit better and there is nothing near the hotel apart from the beach. The evening entertainment was poor the nights we were there.
