Peaceful and relaxing
My sister and I stayed at this lovely hotel for 1 week from 30/06/26 to 07/07/26. We arrived in the early hours of the morning on the 01/07/26 and were met by a very helpful and friendly gentleman who checked us in then offered us a light meal and a drink before taking us to our room. (402) The room was much smaller than we expected for a superior double and I queried the size and location with him. He said that he would leave a message for the manager. The very next day we spoke to the manager Nikolas who is so nice and he arranged to move us to a larger room which still had a very good sea view. (220). Nothing was too much trouble for any of the staff. They were all very friendly and helpful. The buffet breakfast was lovely (thank you Cha) and rooms were cleaned by Christina to a very high standard. We ate lunch every day at the poolside bar and everyone was attentive and friendly.(Sophia and Mariana) The atmosphere was always happy and the view was superb. The hotel is located about half an hours walk from the town centre and although we walked in once we decided a taxi was the best option for us. We will definitely return to this hotel when we come back to Crete. It is so lovely and the staff and the beautiful well kept grounds make it the perfect choice for a nice relaxing holiday.

Cretan hospitality at its best
Vasia Ormos gave us an experience we’ll never forget. Having breakfast in front of the charming harbour made us feel like a little piece of heaven.
The staff and the director went above and beyond, treating us with the warmest Cretan hospitality.
The surprise of Cretan wine and a birthday cake with candles for my son’s 20th made us feel truly at home. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Claudia, Luigi and family
