Reviews and Ratings
I was pleasantly surprised by my stay at the hotel. The rooms were spotlessly clean, very inviting, and had a nice touch with separate bath and shower areas. The beds were comfortable, and the balcony provided a quiet retreat when the door was shut and the air conditioning was on. However, the hotel would benefit from better organization in terms of seating arrangements at the restaurants and little swimming pool, and it seemed that the staff could use some more help to avoid feeling overwhelmed.
The hotel had comfortable and nicely decorated rooms with fresh towels and a private pool, making a great first impression. The service was excellent, with attentive staff offering a range of amenities. The location was serene and perfect for relaxation, with easy access to the airport. The dining experience was enjoyable, especially with the option to have food by the pool. Overall, a great value for a pleasant stay.
The hotel boasts a beautifully designed structure with exceptional staff and concierge services. However, some room discrepancies and view issues may arise. The number of pools is a definite plus, offering a variety of options for relaxation.
The hotel offers clean and spacious rooms with comfortable beds and a very good air conditioning system, although it is away from the main pool. The staff is polite, friendly, and very helpful, including the child-loving Jessy and the service-minded Captain Andreas Lemontzis. The location is quiet with shops, a harbor, and tavernas nearby, perfect for exploring the charming small town. The dining experience is fresh with a wide selection and especially great service at the Greek restaurant for breakfast. The facilities are well-maintained, providing a convenient and pleasant stay.
The hotel is overall a decent choice for a pleasant stay. The rooms are comfortable, but lack the luxurious feel advertised. The service is outstanding with friendly and accommodating staff. The location is convenient for exploring the Chania area. The dining options are tasty but can be a bit repetitive at times.
