It’s a very pretty hotel. It is run professionally. It is in a great location with a very picturesque private beach. Drinks and food is pricey for Greece. The personnel were very friendly. Rooms are getting a bit old but everything was clean and in working order. I wholeheartedly recommend this hotel to anyone considering to stay in this part of Crete.

This hotel does not meet standards for 5* hotel. Nature, beach, sea are wonderful. Hotel itself is old and has not been invested in it or renovated. We had to change room 4 times in 5 days. Staff at reception was really bad and unfriendly with exception of Yannis and Maria who were both very nice and professional. First staff at reception gave us a room with 15C inside and told us that room temperature can not be adjusted. We paid for a room for 3 people. This first room she gave us was extremely small. I asked to give as a room where we could adjust room temperature and she was not honest and told us that they dont have it( not true later we found).I would say it was eco room not a standard one. We were freezing there and requested to change a room and then they gave is a room where it was 30C and told us itwas sunny room. It was very disappointing. It is a shame that management does not invest at all in this hotel because nature and hotel are wonderful. Not having functioning AC is simply not acceptable for 5* hotel. Even third room which was the best we had experience that chair broke on balcony and bathroom door was not working so we had to use another room for one night. Food was amazing. Staff in main restaurant was wonderful. It was very clean. Cleaning lady was coming twice and cleaning. I would say that part was exceptional. I loved nature, food, location. But management and reception staff with exception of 2 people I mentioned before was really disappontimg.
