We had a lovely stay with our 2 year old. The property is well kept and staff is excellent. Enough dinner options (included in halfboard is the buffet or a discount in the other restaurants). Pool was great and it felt like a small village. Perfect for a relaxing holiday. The resort is a little outside of the village and we rented a car for a few days to explore part of the island.

Lovely hotel, main pool quite busy but the private beach was amazing with great beach bar and chilled music. We avoided the buffet and had incredible food at both the Cretan restaurant for breakfast and dinner and the Italian for dinner. Charming staff, just needs a minor rethink in bathroom as shower was narrow due to placement of soap holder. Overall a fantastic experience and would highly recommend and return

Very comfortable stay, friendly staff, good breakfast, nice pools. Good place to stay for a relaxing family holiday. One minor downside is the beach, which is not the best around for accessibility to the water for kids. But largely made up for by the rest of the experience. Would recommend.

The resort is stunning, absolutely beautiful and the staff was very nice and friendly. Very good resort for families so would recommend if you want to have a relaxing week with your little ones, would suggest for up to 3 years old as they have more activities for the little ones. In terms of food I was expecting a bit more for the price and with the half board only one restaurant is included (excluding drinks) so it’s best to get the all inclusive, feel booking through Expedia wasn’t very clear and there was a confusion on what was included and what not. Drinks were amazing especially cocktails and the wine was very nice. Beach was a bit disappointed as i was expecting more as it was rocky and small. Informations were a bit unclear sometimes but overall was a nice relaxing holiday with our little baby.

Rocky Beach with broken umbrellas and dirty loungers, tiny gym with broken equipment (you have to book timeslots to secure a space) only limited timeslots available for restaurant reservation. Claustrophobic layout (with beautiful design elements. Food was good and staff friendly but we had to leave early because we found it impossible to relax and the place to crowded. Not your typical design hotel.

Amazing hotel but they need a sunbed policy..
Amazing stay.. amazing hotel.. amazing beach, bar and restaurants..the only major problem is to find a sunbed at the pool or beach as SO many guests gets up very early in the morning to block sunbeds they might want to use later in the day.. the lack of hotel policy and total lack of actions to prevent this will prevent me from booking this hotel again..
