Amazing place!
Love this place! The apartments are clean and functional and the air con works perfect. The resort is nice and small and there is always room around the pool. Andreas and his family are very attentive and eager to help if they can - they printed all our covid paperwork for our return trip without charge. Great location 15 minutes from Chania old town by bus (number 21 bus). Beach is a stone's throw away too.

Second visit, just as good.
Second year coming here and just as good. We have a different apartment this time but it is equally well equipped. Aircon works well and there is a nice area out the front of the apartment with tables and chairs. Service is great as usual, and the pool is perfect!

Quiet, Comfortable, Nice and Small
Wow, what a place. Tucked out of the way but just 5 minutes walk from an amazing beach, within 2 minutes of a bus stop (take bus 21 to get in to Chania) and supermarkets right outside the complex. We took the Maisonette apartment, which has a bedroom, bathroom (with shower) and balcony upstairs, kitchenette (with Hob, Grill and Oven and Fridge), 2 sofas/beds and TV downstairs. Outside is a small seating area. Fully working Air Conditioning both upstairs and downstairs. The pool is not too big but very deep and warm. Small bar where you can buy a range of drinks and snacks - at reasonable prices. Andreas and his Wife are excellent! Cleaners cleaned every day. I cannot fault this place and look forward to visiting again.

We had a great 8 night stay. The staff were very friendly, it’s in a great location and we were lucky to have an apartment with 2 balconies, one for the morning sun and one for the afternoon. The place was cleaned to a very high standard.

Quiet and comfortable
Great little family run apartment hotel. We felt comfortable and safe there. Our little kitchen was great for breakfast and to make morning coffee. There was a nice eating area, patio and living room. We only put our feet in the pool but it was nice too. The host was so nice and welcoming and offered great advice on the area. We walked to the old city each day.

We had a wonderful stay. Host was very accommodating to our needs. We had to arrive very late, after mid-night, due to a long drive. No problems, we arrived, he gave us the key, and said it's late we can do the formal check in tomorrow sometime!

Family trip to Chania
We had a great time. The location is near Chania, however far enough to be away from the hustle and bustle. Lots of parking and nice pool available. Good value for money. The beach is super near and very nice. 24x7 grocery available within 300m walk and some nice bakeries also.

Great apartments and right next to the sandy beach
Great apartments, new looking building, clean and tidy. Rooms are spacious, clean and pretty modern. Everything you need is there. The beach was closer than I thought it will be- literally 2-3min walk and sandy beach is at your feet. And there are few amazing beaches near by (ie iguana beach) Staff always with the smile and very helpful of you need anything. Close to Chania town and supermarkets. Would be staying again.

I stayed at Elmer's for 3 nights and was made to feel most welcome by Andreas.The hotel had a good pool and sun loungers and the studio apartment was really good value.It was quiet at night apart from the sound of waves crashing against the shore reminding one of how close the beach was.I would return without hesitation.

Very Pleasant Relaxing Stay
Was very pleasantly surprised with this place. It's very well run and an excellent deal for a two floor townhouse with balcony. The atmosphere was great. It was a perfect location for me being quiet and secluded yet close to everything. 3 minute walk to the beach. Just before the beach there's a nice dirt walking/bike path which runs along the coast. There's a convenience store, grocery store and outdoor cafe/restaurant just next to the property. Very family friendly and perfect environment for kids.
