On arrival our check in was quick and easy, the reception staff very helpful and efficient and no wrist band required for all-inclusive is evidence of how personalised their service is to each guest. The hotel is adult only, has a very relaxed atmosphere, no fighting for sun beds in a lovely quiet location, with low key evening entertainment that finishes by 11pm. So not for those that are looking to party. We chose a seafront junior suite with balcony which was spacious, clean and had all the amenities that you would expect (fridge, kettle, pod coffee maker, safe “at extra cost”, ample storage space, bathrobes, slippers etc.) bath and shower and nice size balcony with amazing views of beach and mountains. These rooms are located above the seafront pool access rooms that have their own dedicated sun loungers but as we spend most of our time on the beach, we opted for the views offered on the upper floor accessed by stairs or lift. Rooms are serviced twice daily and the evening maid Georgia was superb (she will change your pool towels on request). The buffet restaurant food was plentiful and varied at all meal times offering an excellent choice of salads and hot food including a selection of Cretan dishes (although in our opinion not utilising enough herbs)! It offers indoor or outdoor terrace dinning which was wonderfully relaxed looking out over the sea, service was prompt and all of the staff very attentive, a special mention must go to Zoe and Mataeo who welcomed us personally at each mealtime to check if all was well and if they could be of any assistance. We can’t comment on the Al La Carte restaurant as we did not need to use it The Beach is sand and shingle so beach shoes are recommended and is not the cleanest, also some of the surrounding derelict properties leave a lot to be desired but I guess this is more to do with the local authority than the hotel. Just 500 yards up the road is a small supermarket and ATM and just a bit further along a few small tavernas, larger supermarket, bank and more ATM’s. Bar service we found to be good (although some long wait times due to only one barman having to make coffees and cocktails) but a special mention must go to Andreas on the beach bar and Costas on the lobby bar for their hard work, skill and politeness For a day out you can catch the bus (which stops right outside the hotel) to the lovely picturesque town of Chania at a cost of 3.90epp each way and takes an hour, they run frequently and times can be obtained from reception. All in all a very relaxing holiday and we look forward to returning.
