Lovely Simple Boutique Hotel in an excellent location to all amenities. The Hotel is simple but very clean located in an excellent Beach location but also having good access to Tavernas & Restaurants. There is a bus stop near the Hotel and a convenient Tour Operator also as well as convenience Shops. All the staff here are a close team playing an important part in ensuring you have a good stay. Really relaxing place to be , everything is easy and straightforward…

The property was very nice. A bit older, but very well maintained. The rooms are generously sized and the bed comfy. We had a small deck with a water and sunrise view. Walkable area and right on the beach. The staff was so nice and very helpful. The free breakfast was typical buffet style with many choices. I would stay here again.

The hotel is very conveniently placed right by the sandy beach. The room was very clean and generally the hotel areas are clean. The staff are very friendly and service was excellent. Could do with outside toilets and changing rooms, so guests wouldn't have to go back to their room after a swim.

Old style hotel, great staff and location

Property is a bit old style. Very friendly and helpful staff. Very good breakfast and in general, food is good Location and s good and got its private beach and sunbeds etc. But its mainly for certain age group, mostly above 60 or so. Location is a good to go to Platanias as well as Chania, short cab or bus drive to both those places for bars, restaurants and night life.

Overall, the hotel is great: clean, spacious rooms, a large and beautiful swimming pool, and lovely gardens. However, there are a few things that could be improved. For example, the in-room beverage facilities could be better. If you want to offer coffee pods, please don't charge your guests for them. You are in the luxury hotel category, so this should be included. It is also standard practice to provide two small bottles of complimentary water each day. A selection of teas presented in a tea box would also be appreciated and would certainly enhance the guest experience. Most guests are unlikely to use more tea bags than you provide, but leaving only two tea bags per day feels a little stingy. On the other hand, you probably don't need to provide bathrobes. Given the hot climate, very few guests use them, so you could save some money there instead. We also couldn't find an ironing board or iron in the room. It could be better if it is available. I was also disappointed with the breakfast selection. There was a heavy focus on eggs and sausages prepared in different ways, while vegetarian options were limited. I had hoped to see more traditional Greek breakfast items, such as feta cheese, local pastries, and other regional specialties. Despite these points, I enjoyed my stay and would happily return.

My husband and I chanced upon this property as we looked for a beach hotel. Our first impression was met with a very warm welcome. During our stay we were so impressed we requested to extend our stay. Katerina was a wonderful host and this request was painless. Nothing is too much for her to make sure you are happy and comfortable and walks in and out of reception to the pool checking her guests needs are met. Excellent customer Service. The pool is clean and sparkling. Breakfast service impeccable. We are so impressed with this small private but comfortable hotel. Gold stars!

Positiv personal som verkligen vill göra allt för dig! Städningen kanon, de kommer 2 gånger per dag. Och så skönt att inte ha ungar springandes i poolen eller under frukost!!

We stayed in the hotel for 2 nights and it was a last minute decision to book there. The position of the hotel is excellent - straight on the beach, with private beach of the hotel, and that’s exactly what we’ve booked this hotel for, together with the wish of having some fresh breeze and sound of the waves entering our room. For this we’ve originally booked a beachfront double, but managed to change for a suite, which had a large terrace overlooking the sea and the beach. As fantastic as it sounded, we could hardly keep the door to our terrace open, as our suite turned out to be just above/next to a kitchen, so instead of fresh air we’ve had smell of kitchen and some grill all the time. The hotel overall seemed to be something of an assembly line, in which there were so many guests, that, either because were not enough hands or time to clean the rooms thoroughly, the room didn’t give us an idea of freshness. The breakfast in the hotel is probably ticking all the boxes in terms of items to choose from in the breakfast buffet, but was very basic and didn’t impress us with the great quality. Then there was some language barrier, too, as a chef at the egg station didn’t manage to understand what “fried eggs” was. That said, the reception staff was friendly and the beach bar was fairly good. To sum up, great location, but only OK hotel.

Great location and amazing private beach. Hotel staff is extremely helpful and friendly. The hotel per se however is outdated. The pool area is not appealing and breakfast could have been better. The bedroom was old, but decent size. Balcony of our room was dirty and with a broken chair, and the bathroom was a little dirty.

The hotel is nice and staff very careful. Unfortunately the first room we had was directly on the very noisy street in front of the hotel and we couldn't sleep at all because of the noise. We asked if we could have an other room and the one we were given had its air conditionning broken...and it was 40 degrees outside. The room didn t get cooler then 30... when we informed the reception they said the technician came and said the air conditionning was working properly and the room was cool but not at all. So at the end, we didn t sleep for 3 days and all we got was a fan! I was so disapointed and it occulted all the friendly staff's effort to make our stay enjoyable.

The hotel was closed, but they didn't inform us

We made a reservation and received a confirmation from Hotels.com few weeks in advance, and our credit card was charged. Called the hotel the day before arrival just to ask a few informative questions. Someone answered the phone and told me that the hotel is closed for the season. Few hours after that, I received an email from the hotel that they are indeed closed and proposed to move me to an affiliated hotel (which did not meet our needs). So few hours before the flight, we had to find another place to stay and change our trip plans and itinerary. COULDN'T YOU TELL US THAT WHEN YOU RECEIVED THE RESERVATION? Called Hotels.com - they were not aware of the fact that the hotel is closed - in their view we had to pay the entire amount because they thought we checked in. Eventually, this was resolved, but that's certainly not the type of service you would expect
