"We booked a bright room with windows based on advertised photos but were placed in Unit 4A—a dark, ground-floor corner room with zero natural ventilation. While every adjacent unit had proper windows and active exhaust fans, our room lacked basic livability and safety standards. Management needs to understand that you simply do not put a family in a room like this. The air was so stale and musty that we had to run a dehumidifier constantly and leave our main entrance door wide open just to...

"Upon arrival we had a few issues with the property, but the owner sorted these for us straight away. The villa was amazing! Clean and bright with great outdoor space. The pool was perfect, as was the view. 'Martin' the visiting cat was a welcome guest! Highly recommend this place for a stay!"

"This place is a hidden gem. Tucked away in the hillside far away from the hustle of a town however close enough to go to the beaches and local tavernas.
They staff are excellent always welcoming, the rooms were clean and we booked a suite with a private pool this was amazing. We loved the privacy and the fantastic view over the hills.
I would definitely recommend this place and hope to come back again."

"Wir haben zwei Zimmer (eines für unsere Tochter) in den Bali Suites gebucht. Optisch modern, zeigt der Alltag aber deutliche Schwächen.
Zimmer & Ausstattung:
Der Minimalismus ist extrem: Es gibt keinen Schrank (nur 6 Bügel). Das Waschbecken ist zugleich Küchenspüle (Spülzeug muss man besorgen). Steckdosen fehlen. Die Betten sind angenehm hart. Die handwerkliche Qualität ist mäßig (Fliesen), Zimmertüren schließen nur mit viel Schwung.
Klima & Sanitär:

"The most picturesque hotel! The grounds are beautiful. The pool area is really relaxing, perfect for a late afternoon dip after being out exploring or at the beach. The staff were all really lovely and helpful too. Breakfast is one the biggest perks. A huge range of options with some really delicious traditional options. We stayed in the Aquila suite which was situated right at the other end of the compound where there is only one other room. This was great for us as it was really private! The majority of the rooms are either near the pool area, or to the east of the restaurant. We also had dinner at the restaurant one of the nights and can confirm it was delicious and very fresh ingredients.
The only ‘con’ I would say is it is quite remote. This hotel would be perfect for people who are either looking to stay at the hotel for the majority of the day, or don’t mind doing 1+ hour car trips. It’s 1.5 hours to Chania or Heraklion, 1 hour to the beaches in the south, and 2+ hours to Agios Nikolaos. We found being in the car so much had a negative impact on our holiday overall. However, highly recommend going to Rethymno old town! Roughly 30 mins from the hotel, and some great restaurants and shops. Overall it’s a beautiful hotel, and if you don’t mind the remoteness/driving quite a bit then we would highly recommend!"
"A beautifully maintained resort with great amenities, though room logistics could be smoother.
Overall, the resort was beautiful and well-maintained. The location is convenient, with several shops and restaurants within walking distance. Most of the staff were helpful and welcoming, though a few felt slightly distant—perhaps due to a language barrier, as I do not speak Greek.
Our stay had a rocky start when our reserved room wasn't available on the first night. I was placed in a bungalow and told it was an upgrade. However, once I moved into my actual reversed room the next day, I realized the reserved room was significantly better. It was modern, upgraded, and featured a wonderful view, whereas the bungalow's (room 654) view was largely blocked by a large tree. Additionally, the bathroom sink water had a strong, unpleasant odor throughout my entire stay.
The dining experience was typical for a resort—a mix of great, average, and mediocre options. My friends and I dined at the main buffet and the Italian restaurant, enjoying both. They offered a wide variety of choices, and the bread, crepes, lamb, and drinks were personal highlights.
The pool & beach areas were kept spotless, with attentive staff ensuring guests were comfortable. A special shoutout goes to the spa team, especially Erika and her colleague, who were incredibly friendly and kind while booking guests around the property.
Tip: The bungalow featured an international converter outlet that should added to all rooms."
"We stayed in the suite which was a great size had a lovely large wrap around balcony with fabulous views of the beach and a hot tub. The ac in the room was a noisy unit. Bed was ok and they provided extra bedding, robes and slippers which was a nice touch. Plenty of storage space. Good location. Breakfast was ok not the best for my taste, no fresh juice and the coffee was not the greater, however plenty of fresh fruit."
"Rooms were large and clean. The staff were great and did all they could to make our stay memorable. The pool was great and the food was excellent, breakfast, lunch and dinner were all very well done. The only caveat to that was the Tomatini restaurant which to our surprise was a little disappointing.
This part of the island flies under the radar and is an absolute gem."
"Property is very quiet and in a location that is a five minute walk to the main strip of restaurants, cafes, bars etc
The property is only 20 mins from the airport by taxi and is associated with a beach bar a couple of mins walk away that you go to for breakfast and use of the beach and pool. All the facilities are excellent and clean and fresh. Check in was easy and any questions we had were dealt with confidently by staff."
"Great place for an experience of a local village stay .
Great friendly staff . Only about 20 minutes from the centre of Hereklion.
Clean and well maintained"
