Excellent stay
The hotel was lovely, clean, well designed so rooms were not overlooking each other. The staff were super friendly, nothing was a problem, they even bought us blue cheese out specially at dinner to go with our wine. The food, there was so much choice at breakfast and dinner, and 99% of the time was hot. The rooms are clean and spacious with the comfiest bed I have ever had in Greece. Bathrooms fine, clean and functional. Wasn't keen on Gouves, seemed quite rundown, and possibly not showing at its best after the previous weeks storms. The hotel is up a hill from the town, which wasnt great for someone with mobility problems, but the hotel had a minibus run 3 times a day for those wanting it. Would definitely go back if I were coming back to Crete. Thank you for my birthday cake

Massage review
Very relaxing. Really good massage and would definitely recommend to anyone. I had Anna and was really impressed.
Mike is great
The atmosphere was lovely, with relaxing music and comfortable beds. Mike is a very good massage therapist and made it throughly enjoyable. The value for money was great too, would definitely recommend to friends. Thank you!
Amazing holiday & hotel A+++++
Sadly this was our final visit of 2026 but again my wife & I had an amazing time. All staff were endlessly helpful and nothing was too much trouble for anyone. Nena & Ramonda were especially great in the restaurant & looking after our accommodation. We have already booked for next year and are counting down the days until we return. Also thanks to Anazena, Sagufta & the reception team for being great + special mention to Bogdan! See you in 2027!
