An unforgettable stay 🥰🥰🥰
Pros:

This was our third stay at this wonderful hotel, and once again, everything was perfect. The hotel is located just one minute from the beach and has a lovely swimming pool, making it the perfect place for a relaxing holiday.

It is a family-run hotel, and you can truly feel how much care and dedication the owners put into making every guest feel welcome. The hotel is exceptionally clean, with daily housekeeping and fresh towels every two days.

A special thank you to Manolis, who was incredibly helpful throughout our stay. He was always available, responded promptly to every request, and made sure everything was perfect for us.

Thank you very much for your warm hospitality. We are already looking forward to coming back again!

Cons:

The sunset from our room takes my breath away every single evening as I admire it from the huge balcony.

Pros:

Minden nap takarították a szobákat. Takaritó hölgy roppant kedves. Egész hotelra a tisztaság jellemző. Medence vízminősége és tisztasága kiválló. 200 méterre egy kiválló étterem van. Mind látványban, személyzetben , és ízvilágban. A tengerpart 50 méterre kb és jól megközelíthető. Apró kavicsos homokos néhány szikla képződménnyel. Gyereknek könnyű búvárkodási lehetőség. Élővilág szerintem sűrűnek mondható ahoz képest hogy 10 métert kell bemenni , hogy az ember lásson halakat, rákokat. Rethmyno felé ami nincs messze van egy kisebb városka amiben minden megtalálható.

Cons:

8 napot töltöttünk ott. Reggeli az árban volt. Viszont minden nap ugyan az a választék ami nem volt túl sok. Sonka fött tojás valami szalámi féle, 2 féle sajt , 2 fajta lekvár , 2 fajta kenyér , vaj , joghurt és még valami joghurtos csípős mártás. Kávé az nem volt jó viszont a narancslé számomra kiváló volt. Illetve volt 2 fajta zabpehely amit jughurtal ettek. És itt vége is a kínálatnak.

Splendida vista sul mare
Pros:

Struttura a gestione famigliare, buon rapporto qualità-prezzo. Carina la signora che ogni mattina insegnava nuove parole.
Meravigliosa la vista dalla nostra camera, il tramonto sul mare spettacolare.
Hanno reso disponile check-in in tarda notte e l’ombrellone per la spiaggia.

Cons:

Struttura un po’ datata, soprattutto la doccia, ma nulla toglie alla gentilezza dello staff (camere pulite)

Bon séjour dans cet hôtel
Pros:

La piscine
La proximité de la plage et des commerces
La vue mer, même si les balcons ont été rehaussés et qu’on ne la voit pas assis sur le balcon

Cons:

Les draps trop courts qui se défont sans cesse
La douche avec un rideau trop petit
Les lits faits à la va-vite et les serviettes qui ne sont pas changées alors qu’il n’y a rien pour les faire sécher.

Příjemné ubytování, pokud máte rádi klid. Výborné snídaně.
Pros:

Velmi čisté a útulné, kousek k pláži, k obchodu i k taverně. Bazén velký a čistý, díky nevšední lokalitě a menšímu hostů jsme měli soukromí. Snídaně byly vynikající. Příjemný, ochotný personál.

Cons:

Slabší signál WiFi, zejména na balkoně. Malý sprchový kout se závěsy.

Tento hotel nedoporučuji!
Pros:

Lokalizace, hned u rychlostní cesty.

Cons:

Ani jednou nám nebyly vyměněny ručníky. Sdílené balkony byly velice neprivátní a častokrát zde byli kuřáci. Když jste si sedli na židle na balkóně, neviděli jste ani na výhled…

Pán, který nás hostil byl arogantní a ani nás nepřivítal s chodem hotelu, musela jsem se neustále vyptávat na informace. Například jsme na pokoji nemohli najít ovladač na klimatizaci. Nakonec ho měl hostitel u sebe na recepci.

Snídaně byly strohé, jednotné a nebyla zde voda. Tu jste si museli objednat na baru, kde pan hostitel s otráveným obličejem čepoval vodu. Když jsem ho prosila, aby mi dal nějakou větší láhev či karafu - abych si 1 skleničku nemusela chodit čepovat 3x - byl velice neochotný a žádné jiné varianty se nám nedostalo…

Pokoje byly čisté, ale byl zde takový ruch z kuchyně a ostatních pokojů, že se zde prostě nedalo vyspat - ani se špunty v uších.

Pros:

Si tratta di un hotel a gestione famigliare. A due passi dalla spiaggia e a due passi da fermata bus e autonoleggio.
Piscina e possibilità di prendere ombrelloni senza supplemento

Cons:

Posizione un po' fuori mano per passeggiare.Se senza macchina i posti per mangiare non sono molti e bisogna camminare un po'.
Il personale è di poche parole. Nessuna indicazione su come muoversi, suggerimenti su dove andare,dove mangiare,cosa che normalmente si fa.
La mamma invece è davvero molto carina e disponibile
