We’ve stayed at a few all-inclusive hotels before, but I’ve never felt the need to leave a review—until now. I literally had to download TripAdvisor just to write this 😀 (and that’s saying something!). We arrived late at night, and the lovely receptionist offered us food, showed us to our room, and explained everything. She was so kind and helpful, and that same warm atmosphere continued throughout our entire stay. I’ve honestly never experienced such friendly and accommodating staff—from reception and housekeeping all the way to the kitchen crew. The bartenders constantly made sure we were having a great time, and the same goes for the head chef. I love Greek cuisine, and the food here was genuinely delicious. I always found plenty of great options, even though I don't eat fish or any seafood! 😀 The evening entertainment was fantastic too, with a great variety ranging from live cooking shows to live music. It’s no surprise that people keep returning here. Thank you for a wonderful stay!
I have only positive things to say about this hotel! The staff is very friendly and polite, and they are always checking on you to make sure everything is okay. I have never experienced this level of service before. I really felt welcome throughout my entire stay 😊 The food was delicious, and the rooms were always clean. I would definitely recommend this hotel!
We’ve been here for 9 nights. We were put in a room below pool level and we found it quite dark for our liking, did ask twice if we could swap but was kept being told we had to wait for a manager ( wasn’t in both times).
For first 2 days 5 of us had to share 2 sun loungers as there wasn’t any or if there were they already had towels on ( some people were gone all day)
Our air con in our room wasn’t great, but worked brilliantly in the children’s room.
No WiFi unless went around the pool but was told this anyway
Choice of drinks very limited unless you pay
Snacks are sandwiches, wraps or cakes these were available between 4.30 for just over an hour.
We found the food quality and beautiful, shame there wasn’t any ice cream at all
They have entertainment on 2/3 times a week which we enjoyed especially the Greek night, but If you here for longer than a week it’s the same entertainment.
Lovely friendly staff
Sometimes struggled to find tables for dinner outside being a family of 5 as the tables were sometimes took up by a lot of the hotels families and friends
No pool entertainment but if you would like a quiet and relaxed holiday I would recommend.
Lock your money/valuables away in the free safe. We hid €15 euro on our bedside table and put things on top of it and the cleaner came in and took it all even though it was hidden, luckily we went in the room just as she walked out and we went up to her and asked her if she had taken it and she said she thought it was a tip which was fair enough if it was on show.
Clean hotel (just not under the beds, so please watch your children as there were tablets out of the packaging and other stuff)
Beach right outside your door ☀️🏖️
Shops walking distant and buses cheap if you wanted to go into main city near airport
Always cleaners about
Just wanted to give you an honest review but all in all I would recommend as it’s been lovely, just wish there were more going off for teenagers etc. this is not like your typical Spanish all Inclusive holiday If that’s what you are used to ( I know this is Greece but If you used to Spain like us) this is a more relaxed, chilled holiday.
Amazing beach, wonderful crete and good hospitality ✨special thanks to ilias
We had such a wonderful experience with Chef Ilyas! His pizza was absolutely delicious — fresh, full of flavour, and clearly made with passion. 🍕 Everything we tried was beautifully prepared and tasted amazing.
