My boyfriend and I stayed at this resort for a week. Overall the place was nice and it was always clean. When we arrived on our first night it was super late, so we quickly checked in and went to sleep. To my horror I woke up in the middle of the night to find water pouring on me from the air conditioning, since it was so late we just moved the beds, put a towel down to catch the water and then went back to sleep. In the morning i informed the lady at the front desk, she was very nice about it and within the hour it was fixed. The food at breakfasf was fantastic there were many things to chose from so it never felt repetetive. Any staff that we ever dealt with were extremely acomodating and very nice. I also need to mention that their little store on the premesis is extremely convenient.
The bad: ( and remember its all a matter of opinion)
The pool area is in fact a lot smaller than it seems in the pictures, on our first day we went to put our towels down at 8 and to our horror allmost all the seats were gone, so for the rest of the week we got up at 6 (it might seem extreme but by then many of the chairs had already been taken) put our towels down then returned when the pool opened at 9. There has to be a solution to that, I believe that part of vacationing is being able to sleep in.
The beach issue, this hotel does not claim to be on the beach, i knew that before I booked our stay there. The beach is actually a good ten minute walk away, on a crazy road (almost all the roads in chania seemed crazy) with no sidewalks. Its is very dangerous if you are walking with kids. To actually cross the street to get to the beach you have to cross what I would consider to be a highway or pretty damn close to it. Not to mention if you came back the same way you would have to walk straight up hill, not something i really want to do after spending a day in the heat. I think the hotel could have a shuttle that goes every few hours, charge a few euros per person make it a little more comfortable and safer.
