Cooking class
We participated in a fantastic cooking class today, the staff was wonderful and warm. We got to learn a lot of things on the traditional Cretan food. We can’t wait to cook at home the dish we made in class! Thank you for this amazing experience!!
Wonderful vacations
We had such a wonderful time. Thank you so much for everything. We have truly been pampered throughout our stay. The staff does always go the extra mile which is not self understanding at all. A special thanks to Dimitrios, Ilias, Kristina & Effy. Your hospitality did leave us speechless. KR Nia, Lenka & Kevin
Not enough sunbeds near pools
Hotel is quite big and there is a serious issue of small pools and the lack of sunbeds. During our 6-days stay there were 5 days of red flag on the beach (windy, big waves). We were not able to find any sunbed near pools or have 1 sunbed for 4 member family. This is not value of money in 5 star hotel. We are not used to "fight" for sunbed during our holiday. Sorry but no return in the future. Other services are ok, staff is friedly. Rooms are clean. Food in the main restaurant ok, but we were not able to book a la carte restaurants because of no free slots. Indoor gym for hobby sportmen only, not well equipped, no free weights as barbells etc. Outdoor gym almost nothing, no racks, old plates, old and dirty dumbells. Although we have Lux me program, everywere you must present your room number, staff has to check and you get the bill to sign. Strange and time consuming system.
Simply The Best
This was our 2nd visit to this hotel, from the moment we arrived our luggage was taken to our room and a lovely lady i did not get her name was also there to meet us, where we were taken into the hotel for welcome drinks and shown to our room. Everyone is so friendly and welcome, i would like to say how we would often speak to Dmitra in the Lobby bar such a lovely young lady, as were all the other staff. The food is very good in the buffet restaurant also good variety of drinks. The swimming pools are lovely and so is the beach. We would often go into Old town and only 10 euros in a taxi, highly recommend going on the sight seeing bus 90 minutes for all round trip and the train ride. Will definitely be back.

Shout out
Big shout out to Antigoni for her professionalism and support during our stay. The food options were outstanding and the location is great also. Fantastic flow to the hotel, being so close to multiple pools and the beach. A great trip - thanks Antigoni
