"An excellent stay. Particularly, all of the staff were so nice to us throughout our time there - they provided us with everything we needed and requested so easily, and made us feel like we belonged despite only just meeting us. The location is excellent as well with a lovely view of the beach, and a nice pool if you don’t want to travel in the day. The rooms are always kept to the highest level of cleanliness I have seen in a long time. I absolutely recommend. It is a bargain for this price"

"We stayed here with our three children, and I can honestly say this is one of the best holidays we have ever been on. The accommodation is beautiful, and the setting is simply incredible. So much time, care and effort has clearly gone into ensuring that the guest experience is second to none. Panos and Miranda, who run the resort, are two of the nicest people we have ever met. Their welcoming smiles and positive attitudes make sure that everyone feels looked after and truly valued. We also hired a car during our stay to explore the island, which I would strongly recommend. It was a fantastic way to discover everything the island and local area has to offer. One thing I can say for certain is that we are already looking forward to returning! 😊"

The cove in the property was one of the best places we've ever swam in. Our room had a great view of the sunset from right outside our window. Within a 3 minute walking distance to the beach which also allowed for some great swims. When we didn't feel like going out of the property to eat, we were able to get a well cooked meal in the bar area. We'll definitely be staying the next time we're in the Chania area."
