An exceptional value for money.
Pros:

Probably one of the most beautiful hotels we stayed at during our trip around Crete! We received a very warm welcome, with genuine care and attention throughout our stay. The newly renovated rooms are beautiful, and the food is of excellent quality. We highly recommend this hotel!

Soggiorno di due notti con mio marito.
Pros:

La struttura è all’interno di una baia molto bella. Il mangiare è buono con una grande varietà di scelta.

Cons:

A mio avviso, non è da 5 stelle. Andrebbero curati i dettagli.

Good value for money Hotel with nice private beach
Pros:

- Very polite Stuff
- very nice private beach
- clean
- location close to nice beaches and Agios Nikolaos
- nice sea view

Cons:

- food variation could be better at Dinner
- we booked a double bed but got 2 single beds placed together which is uncomfortable and should be mentioned in the description
- when windy the private beach gets quite dirty from plastic garbage from the sea. I suggest that hotel stuff should try and clean it with a net. It would make a huge difference . However beach and sunbeds in general are nice and clean

Pros:

Everything was great apart from the Internet connectivity, which really wasn't there at all. I managed to get through using a personal hotspot, so it wasn't the disaster it might have been.

Cons:

Istron Bay soggiorno top
Pros:

Camera pulita e confortevole. Avevamo prenotato una standard vista mare all' arrivo, ci hanno assegnato per lo stesso prezzo una executive . Molto bella, rinnovata e con vista mare mozzafiato con il terrazzo abitabile.. Piscina grande , pulita e spiaggia sotto l'hotel riservata x gli ospiti e vicina.Compresa con la prenotazione.

Cons:

Cena al ristorante con buffet un pochino sovraffollato.. forse ci vorrebbe qualche cameriere in più. Erano gentili ma si vedeva che faticavano tanto, correvano per le troppe persone che eravamo.

Pros:

We had an amazing holiday at Istron Bay and couldn’t be happier with our choice. The greatest asset of this hotel is undoubtedly its incredibly friendly and welcoming staff, who create a truly relaxed and family-friendly atmosphere. Their hospitality made us feel at home from the very first day. The stunning sea views and the spacious balconies are simply unforgettable and made every morning and evening even more enjoyable. We leave with wonderful memories and are extremely satisfied with our stay. We would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a peaceful and enjoyable vacation.

Cons:

The only small downside for us was that the mattresses were a bit too soft, but we understand that this is a matter of personal preference. It certainly didn’t affect our overall experience, which was excellent.
