Pleasant week of rest and relaxation

4.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 12 Jun 2016
This is a nice complex consisting of a small number of rooms in the main building and a series of two or three storey Bungalows spread around a larger area. On arrival we were met by a porter and escorted to our room. We booked a superior sea view room and as the main hotel rooms have recently undergone a refurbishment. They are very well decorated clean and luxurious with a King sized bed and a large Jacuzzi bath. The issues with the room would be a lack of wardrobe space and the outsized items make the room smaller than it needs to be. The pool area is Clean and tidy the pool bar is simple and effective. The entertainment is limited except for the Wednesday BBQ which is sold to guests every meal time by the staff. All inclusive guests are also required to pay 15 euros for the privilege of the BBQ and entertainment, poor in my opinion. The restaurant is small but adequate, it works in a disjointed way but it works. The food is nice simple but nice. although the layout is again all over the place its a small serving area so easy to negotiate around. All in all a nice place value for the money paid but lack something to make it special. Would go back for a quiet week of relaxation.

I enjoyed our stay at this hotel. They gave us a free upgrade after we asked for a room with evening sun. Even though we didn't use the additional room we were really happy to get the chance to enjoy the evening sun on our balcony. Thank you very much!!

Someone of the staff saw me inflating my air bed for the pool. He came to me and took it away to take over the inflation process. Very attentive!!

Vivi is the BEST cook I've ever met in an all inclusive hotel. As I do have food allergies, I needed some help. She was always there and helped me or arranged me some "special meals". Thank you Vivi!!

What I didn't like is, there is no non-smoking area on the patio for all meal times.

As well I didn't like is, some of their male staff is too flirty to ladies traveling without husband/boyfriend. At some point I felt uncomfortable and couldn't be as friendly and thankful to them for giving me the drink I ordered at the bar, because they acted a bit over flirty. I was there to enjoy my vacation not find a boyfriend.

The gym is ok, but really needs maintenance!!

There are no pool/beach towels available.

Lovely hotel good food lovely staff the usual who gets up first gets the best sun beds but plenty of them luckily I get up earlier than our German guests ha ha
The location is Stalis but close to Malia if you're young and want nightlife it's a great base for seeing the area and Stalis is shopping city

Booked this hotel minute and was not disappointed! The hotel staff are all very friendly and go out of their way to help you, the whole complex was kept nice and clean. The rooms vary, but we were in one of the ground floor bungalows and it was perfect for our needs. 3 single beds, flatscreen tv (not many English channels though) hairdryer, shower over bath with constant hot water. The room was cleaned every day, with fresh towels and bedding. The food was varied and tasty. Lots of choice so always something you'd enjoy. The entertainment was good, Greek dancing night is a must. Really funny and you will participate dancing around the pool. You have to pay extra for the BBQ night, which is a bit pricey to be honest for what was provided, and did find that the people who did not pay were unable to use the pool bar that night. The hotel is located in between Malia and Stalis. Both 10 mins stroll in either direction. 2 mins to beach through the hotel opposite. I would recommend this hotel and I look forward to visiting again soon!

A really lovely hotel with friendly staff who go out of their way to help you. The location is great, shops, bars, restaurants and beach near by. Our room was basic but did the job. We were all inclusive and the food was great...something for everyone!

Very friendly and helpfull staff. The room was big and cleaning in top. The matress quite hard. The hotel is situated in a typical turist area, with shops and restaurants. The all inclusive food from the buffet, was variated and good, the wine was not tasty.
It was overall a good week, meeting the hospitality of Grece and enjoying a week of relaxsation in nice surroundings.
