Variety Galore!

The dining options were truly satisfying. I enjoyed the diverse local dishes at dinner, especially the exquisite Cretan corner that made each meal an adventure in flavors. I never felt hungry with all the delicious choices available.

Excellent Room Setup

The family room we stayed in was spacious and designed with comfort in mind. It featured ample space for all our belongings and came equipped with great air conditioning that made our stay pleasant despite the summer heat.

Refreshing Pools

The pool area was fantastic! There were plenty of sunbeds available, and I appreciated the varied depths in the pools. It was refreshing to jump into the water after a day in the sun. The atmosphere was relaxed, and it was easy to find a tranquil spot.

Kid-Friendly Fun

The children’s playground was a highlight of our stay! It was well equipped and allowed our kids to play freely while we enjoyed our meals nearby. It provided a sense of safety and fun, making it easier for us to relax as parents.

I had a truly wonderful stay at this resort! The breathtaking gardens and easy beach access created a serene environment perfect for relaxation. The rooms were spacious and had lovely balconies, though I did notice some slight issues with cleanliness at times. The dining options were satisfactory; I particularly enjoyed the desserts but wish the breakfast could have offered more variety. Overall, a great value for the price with a few minor drawbacks.

We had a fantastic time at this hotel which offers beautiful gardens and a peaceful atmosphere, perfect for a relaxing vacation. The beach is just steps away, and we found plenty of options for dining both on-site and nearby. However, the dining experience could use some improvement as not everything was up to par. The hotel pools were lovely, but we noticed that the availability of sunbeds could get competitive during peak hours.

We had a relaxing week at this hotel, enjoying its beautiful gardens and peaceful atmosphere. The beach access and pool facilities were really enjoyable, and we found various dining options nearby.

This hotel offers a lovely balance of tranquility and convenience, with a peaceful location just a short distance from the lively center. The rooms provide stunning sea views and enjoyable outdoor spaces, making for a pleasant stay overall. However, families with young children might find the accommodations slightly challenging at times. Dining options are somewhat limited, which could be an area for improvement, though there are great restaurants nearby.
