The hotel offers a spacious atmosphere with great pool facilities and views of the beach, making it quite enjoyable. While the rooms were basic and the beds a bit hard, the clean environment and good Wi-Fi connection were definite perks. The location is ideal for families and couples, close to local attractions, even though the walk to the city center could be better. The service was generally friendly, but some situations could have been handled more effectively.

This hotel offered a quiet family holiday in lovely surroundings with a friendly staff. While my room was nice and secluded, it could've been quieter and better equipped. The location was great, not far from Malia, and the all-inclusive dining options were a highlight, even if the food was pretty standard. Overall, I felt it was a good value for money, but the lack of air conditioning in my room was definitely a downside.
