Great place to stay! I loved the (semi-)private pool in the room. The breakfast and pool were great as well. The small city down at the port is great to hang out with lot of restaurants. It is also less crowded than other areas in Crete. Really enjoyed the stay!

First of all, thank you Penny from everything. They really want you to enjoy hospitality and the silence. Everybody has sunlounger, so never too much people even if booked a swim-up room, go and enjoy the infinity pool and views. Breakfast simple but fresh and tasty. 3min walk to store, and 5min to the beach. Small village so restaurants are at the beach. End of the road/beach Elia&Thyme restaurant, best beef filee and tunatartar go and try. Rooms are big and clean.

Robin, 6-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We had an amazing stay at this hotel. Everything is super new, the rooms were spotless, the bed very comfortable, and we loved the spacious balcony with its beautiful view. The hotel is in an excellent location, close to Chania, with many lovely beaches and good restaurants nearby. Parking was easy and free of charge, which was a big plus. Breakfast was of very high quality and a great way to start the day. As a small suggestion, having a bit more variety would make it even better. The staff truly made our experience unforgettable. Everyone was incredibly kind and caring, especially Penny and Efi, who were always so welcoming that we found ourselves stopping by reception just to have a friendly chat. When we unfortunately caught the flu during our stay, Efi immediately helped us by arranging a doctor, and thanks to her support we felt better within a day. The restaurant team was also wonderful and took extra care of us while we weren’t feeling well. The hotel also offers a variety of tours, and we tried the JetSki tour, which was super fun and one of the highlights of our trip. Overall, it was a fantastic experience and we would love to come back!

Fabulous hotel in a beautiful location, the road from the airport is very twisty and narrow in places but worth it . The staff are the friendliest we’ve ever met , nothing is too much trouble, they even charged my cell phone when I couldn’t get it to work! Lovely breakfast and the rooftop restaurant is amazing, great food and ambience. We had massages which were excellent too. I highly recommend this place .
