Beautiful resort, extraordinary staff, delicious breakfast, thoughtfully designed rooms for families, nice gym and pools, convenient and easily walkable to the beach and town. Truly an extraordinary stay in every way. Kelari Restaurant is delicious and unique, and we had two amazing dinners there with exceptional service and lovely Cretan wine. One of the best resorts in which we have had the pleasure of staying. We'll be back!

Staff were without exception helpful, polite, professional, and extremely friendly. Pool area was stunning and not overcrowded. Room had its own mini pool as well. Excellent breakfast. Main restaurant seemed quite pricey but Plaka village only a short walk where there were a myriad of eating options. Fantastic place and would thoroughly recommend.

This is a really excellent hotel. Not only the staff was amazing alt all times, the entire resort was very well built and comfortable. The owner is local and owns a construction company and you can feel that by how well the hotel is built. There is a funicular lift for the rooms which are built on a steep hill making it very easy to access the rooms. The room has got a great size and the bathroom and toilet are separate and very good. There is plenty of storage space which I feel sometimes is lacking in hotels. The view from the room is impressive and the private swimming pool is quite good size. There is plenty of free water, a welcome pack. The gym is well equipped. The breakfast is excellent and at request some vegan options were available (although not a lot in terms of hot food). There are 2 large swimming pools and the beach is a 4 minute walk. They provide a shuttle to the beach. There are electric car charging points and electric cars for rental.
