Positives. Does indeed have an ocean view. Staff are pleasant on the whole. Good sized balcony. Free air con. Lots of pools and Sunbeds. Grassy areas. Clean. Neutral. Food. It was obvious the kitchen tried very hard. Some dishes were good, especially the vegan ones. Lots of fresh fruit, salad and ice cream. Evening meat of the day was usually good. Food repetitive and limited local varieties. Never hot. Alcohol and soft drinks. Local but were ok, bar staff nice. Awful plastic cups, very flimsy. Shuttle bus ran x3 a day to beach and town, last return very early. Bus often crowded and scruffy. Negatives. Under no circumstances book what the hotel describes as the economy double! No photos of this room appear to exist anywhere. Small is an understatement, and a small double bed is pushed up against a wall. The one bedside table is at an angle to be able to fit, hand-held smelly shower in a dingy shower room. Very cramped, dated, ugly, and hot. Also has the drains outside and room for one outside chair only. After some argument, we paid to upgrade. It is possible it was a mistake by our travel agents, however this was not the room we saw online during booking and certainly the word economy didnt appear anywhere. Upgraded room had toilet seat attached with velcro. Toilet leaked. We asked on 6 days for extra pillows, we gave up. It is not walkable to beach if you have any mobility issues at all. 800m but only in a straight line! Not by road. Questionable evening entertainment. Best by far was a cretan night. Worst was some form of 'guess the music'. Sunbed cushions often dirty. No kettle in the room. Tea and coffee not available overnight or early morning. We were the only native English speakers there. Not an issue but best to be aware.
