Pros:

酒店位置非常棒，就在海边上，我们定了两个房间，店家给我们安排了相对私密的两个相邻房间，还帮我们升级了其中的一个房间，房间的露台很大，面朝大海，风景棒极了！房间很干净，泳池在隔壁不远的日落酒店，很大很干净！

Pros:

Πολύ εύκολα να το βρείτε. Υπάρχει και παρκονκγ. Ευγενικό προσωπικό

Cons:

Μας δώσανε άλλο δωμάτιο, όχι αυτό που κλείσαμε. Δεν υπήρχε πυστολακι στο μπάνιο. Ούτε σαμπουνι,σαμπουαν και τλπ.η τιμη που πληρώσαμε περιμέναμε κάτι καλύτερο. Κρίμα διαβάσαμε πολύ καλά σχόλια, είδαμε πολύ όμορφες φωτογραφίες αλλά στην πραγματικότητα......Για να πας στην θάλασσα θέλει λίγο υπομονή. Το μόνο ευχαριστώ έχει πολύ καλή μόνωση και δεν ακούγεται φασαρία καθόλου από έξω.

Nice Room, but Amenities are not on Property Despite Description
Pros:

The room was very large with a nice bathroom, mini-fridge, and immediate access to the water/beach within a few steps of the property. Very short drive to the airport and port, which was nice. Staff very welcoming.

Cons:

Location/area is quite rundown although the hotel building is nice. The pool at this property wasn't actually available, so we had to access amenities at a sister hotel about a 5 minute walk away. No drinks/food allowed at that pool area unless purchased at the bar and the prices were higher than we'd been paying elsewhere in Crete. The wifi was not good.

Pros:

Siamo arrivati e mancava l’acqua. Poco dopo anche la luce. Comunque rispetto alle foto non è esattamente identico, meno nuovo e meno pulito

Decent for one night
Pros:

We liked the big bed and view of the water and Dia Island. Decent breakfast

Cons:

NO wifi at all, which is real hassle when one is flying overseas the next day. The staff didn't bother returning our message about this.
Expect a LOT of noise from landing planes

Pros:

The hotel is very nice. It’s not convenient to have to check in 100 meters down the street or go there for breakfast or to use the pool. The noise of the airplanes going overhead is very noisy.
