The rooms and air conditioning are outdated and need renovation. The restrooms in the main area have an unpleasant smell, so adding air fresheners would help. The food is decent, but the plates and glasses are often dirty. On a positive note, I really appreciated how helpful and friendly the staff were.

Amazing holiday experience at this hotel: super tasty food, extensive choice of drinks and cocktails, super attentive and welcoming staff. Cannot thank you enough: attention to all guests, all staff goes extra mile, excellent service. My mum had a birthday and a treat was waiting for her in the room. No request is a trouble for staff. Thank you very much!

We recently stayed at this hotel during our vacation in Greece. The best part of our experience was the staff – they were very friendly, helpful, and made us feel welcome. Five star to Janis, he is excellent he goes above and beyond for clients. That said, the hotel itself would benefit from some renovation, as the facilities feel a bit outdated. The restaurant could also use more attention to cleanliness. Overall, the people made our stay enjoyable, but with some updates and improvements, this hotel could be much better. Aleksandra

It was all very good. The personal is awesome and the food was realy good. The room was super clean and very nice. The kids pool had no shade and no toys for the kids. Also did the entertainers not let our 15 month old play at the kids disco, this was sad because she did like it a lot.

Hotel needs a renovation. It is not like in pictures. It’s an old hotel with old decor, but it’s clean. Also, location is not the greatest. There is not much in the area unless you go to neighboring towns Sissi or Malia. Sissi is walkable, Malia is not. Beach is sandy but going into water, you’ll need water shoes. There are huge rocks in the water.

The best was the personell as well as the food and beach. The Entertainment Programm is a bit over the top. There could be more Programm like acoustic Guitar, soft Music so that one have their Programm and other guests can enjoy their peace during holiday. Every day is too much. Nevertheless the personell tried to be helpful and always looking for a solution. All in all we had an enjoyable yet not too peaceful vacation.

Un des meilleurs hôtels visité sur l'île de Crête. Personnel attentif, aimable. Accueil parfait d'un vrai hôtel 5* Architecture faite pour vous sentir bien et en vacances. Tout compris et tout est mis à disposition pour que vous soyez bien. Boissons et glaces à disposition à la plage. Petite plage abritée des grosses vagues. Manque le sable pour que vous puissiez entrer facilement Les repas bien présentés et mis en valeur. Les chambres sont bien disposées. L'unique point négatif ce sont les salles de bains qui doivent ^être rénovées ainsi qu'une protection du soleil qui ne permet pas de garder au frais la chambre, étant donné que la climatisation s'éteint quand vous sortez de la chambre.

- Bereits beim Frühstück ist aufgefallen, dass Geschirr und Besteck teils dreckig waren. Die Auswahl des Buffets war überschaubar, nicht besonders zufriedenstellend. - Das Hotel macht generell einen abgenutzten Eindruck. - Es gibt nicht genügend Poolliegen und auch Liegen am Strand im Schatten sind stark begrenzt, weshalb die Menschen die Liegen schon vor 8 Uhr morgens reservieren. Wir hatten keine Chance auf einen Schattenplatz. - Die angebotenen Cocktails, Longdrinks und Softdrinks schmecken künstlich und sind somit nicht genießbar. - Das Zimmer, das wir erhalten haben war alt, dreckig und Möbel sowie Türen und Wände defekt/ abgenutzt. Es lagen Haare im Badezimmer und es wurde nicht richtig geputzt. Das Bett ähnelt einem Feldbett, was nicht für Komfort spricht. Die Einrichtung des Zimmers ist sperrlich. Die Handtücher alle dreckig, sodass wir nach neuen Handtüchern baten. - Es folgte ein Gespräch mit der Managerin und damit verbunden ein Zimmerwechsel, jedoch erst auf dem darauffolgenden Tag. Die Managerin war sehr freundlich und zeigte großes Verständnis für unsere Situation. - Das neue Zimmer bietet mehr Platz und das Bett ist etwas komfortabler. Der Zustand des Zimmers jedoch ebenfalls unzufriedenstellend. Es ist abgenutzt, teils kaputt und dreckig. Im Badezimmer sind Ameisen. Auch hier befinden sich fremde Haare im Badezimmer. - Ein sehr schlimmes Erlebnis: ein Kissen roch stark nach Schweiß, sodass es nicht nutzbar war. Das hat einen großen Ekel verursacht und di
