The pools were great! The store is wonderful and has all of the necessities and more. The beach is incredible as well! If you choose to go off and explore, there are rental cars and buses very near!
The staff is so kind and helpful. We really enjoyed how we were treated by the staff!
Things we think need to be improved:
Limited kids club hours and it’s not very exciting for children as they often stay in and colour/paint. But the staff is lovely.
The turnover in the dining room is slow and some food service is very inefficient. I do think this is partly due to people not knowing how to tidy up after themselves and/or grab more than they need.

The staff were great and doing their best, but the place is just rundown and not well-maintained. Our air conditioning unit wasn’t working so they moved us rooms and the second one wasn’t working very well either. The pool and pool bar area are wonderful and right on the beach, but they close at 6 PM- really don’t understand that when it’s one of the nicest aspects of the place. Our goal was to visit the Knossos palace and catch our morning ferry- if we had to do it again, we would stay in downtown Heracleon.

On the other hand, the staff in the dining room were not..

The food was nice.

Not a bad Hotel, def not 5*, more like 3-4.
The entertainment is next to non existent of an evening, in fact its the poorest Ive ever had in a complex.
Also in the whole 10 days we was there we never once found anybody else from the UK, Mainly German, French and eastern European.
The spa is good but not cheap!!
It is also a fair way from anything so you will need to get the bus or hire a car.

A rogues gallery! Run away from this place now.

The hotel is beside a massive electrical power sub-station. The staff lacks patience. I had a hotels.com booking and when I went to the front desk they told me they did not have the booking and that there were no rooms. I left and booked another hotel. Then they charged me for the room and justified it by saying that i had not properly read the cancellation policy. This hotel is run by rogues and has lost sight of customer care and the truth. Run away from it.

Nice hotel, unfriendly staff

The room was beautiful and a nice view. Not full sea view as requested though, only partial view. Room was clean and had free water, wine, and fruit waiting for me. Pools and beach were beautiful. Beach restaurant was amazing. Gift shop was full of items and reasonably priced. However, the front desk people were not very friendly or helpful. When I asked for excursions, she said there were none. On my last day I found the guest services room and found there were many excursions available. When I asked for room service info, she said abruptly there was no room service menu. Offered no other info. When trying to get my return to the US Covid test, the front desk just said to sit in the lobby and wait for them to arrive to do the test. After waiting 45 minutes, he still said they would come. I gave up. When I asked the Guest Services lady, who was very nice and helpful, she said they don't come to the hotel. I had to travel by bus to get to them for the test. So the front desk gave me totally wrong information. I didn't purchase the all inclusive room and the front desk never gave me any information on how I could get meals and how much they would cost. Had to find out on my own. No hotel information given such as a map to find things on property, cost of meals, how to get clubs for mini golf, etc.

over all a nice place

Over all we enjoyed our stay at this hotel.
The location is good, not to far from the airport, good from day trips to the mountains Heraklion or Rethymno.
The private beach is very nice and the facilities are good for families with kids.
The dining room offers big variety of food that is over all good (some was very nice and some not too much).
Most of the hotel stuff is very nice but the reception was not kind and not nice at few points.
The communication prior to the visit with the hotel was frustrating - I just did not manage to receive any answer from them in any way for a very long time - what was solved after I called the Expedia support team. they were not much more communicative and was not even that nice during check at some points after.
The most upsetting thins was that GAP OF INFORMATION BEFORE BOOKING AND AFTER ARIVING the hotel. they publish to have an in-door warm pool, but did not say that for kids it's only open only for 1 hour in the morning. They publish they have a gym, but not say it's open for free in the morning and that in the afternoon they charge 10 euros to use it. They publish they have 4 different restaurants in addition to the main dining room, but only one was open only for one day and with extra charge for guest who are not on the all-inclusive.
In general it felt that they did not fully opened for the season at the time we were there, which could be totally exactable if there was not a gap between what they sold us and what we received.

Brilliant holiday!

We went on a family holiday in August and the weather was perfect. The hotel was very family friendly and there was lots of things to keep the children busy. The hotel even had a kids pool with slides. The staff at the hotel were excellent. They were really kind and helpful at all times. We knew our children were safe at the resort and there was security outside to ensure that only residents came in. This is a great hotel for families. The children can enjoy themselves and the parents can relax in one of the many bars, restaurants or pools. There is a lovely spa if you fancy some treatments or a massage. There is not much near the resort so if you like exploring, you may want to hire a car. Overall, a really fantastic place!

OK hotel, but warning for couples!

Ok, so me and my partner wanted to switch off and have a week away all inclusive to be as lazy as we could be and not think of food etc. Still, as we are a young couple I rented out a car with the hope to drive to a couple of beaches and bars etc. So, the hotel delivered in the area of cleanliness, good food etc but I warn you (if you are a you g couple) that there are no bars or beaches nearby for \"fun\". I would definitely recommend staying in Chania as there are plenty of pop up bars and beautiful beaches for you to drive up to every day. Here in heraklion we were bound to the hotel. So, all in all, good experience the hotel was great (and we still managed to drive to Bali beach and the palacw of Knossos which is nearby) but this is a family orientated hotel. Loads of families and kids. If youre young, stay in Chania. Trust me, do the research (unlike I did :D). Ps: also Elafonissi beach is just off the coast of Chania (Elafonissi is one of the most beautiful beaches in the world!!).

This is not a five star Hotel!

Five star hotel?.. I do not think so!... not even four star. I give them three stars. Lobby looks OK but rooms look like you are in the motel. They give you one blue beach towel per person upon request at the reception, and you must return it upon departure or they charge you €30 per towel. I know I made you think now, and yes, they expect you not to wash this beach towel for the entire stay! Housekeeping service was bad, they even did not make beds well. Bathroom did not have exhaust bath fan so there was a lot of moisture after shower use. Bad cleaning. We stayed in the Hotel in the early season so I can not imagine how they handle things in the full season. Hotel is located in the bad nowhere area. Beach is not impressive. There are about eight chimneys polluting air not far away from the Hotel (you can see them on google maps). I would not recommend this place for vacation in Crete to anyone.

Fantastiskt bra hotell med allt man kan tänkas behöva. Rekommenderar starkt att köpa all inclusive för bekvämlighetens skull få det är något du tjänar in fort om du stannar där någon/några dagar.

Rummet vi hade på plan 5 var stort och väldigt mysigt. Det var rent och fräscht på rummet.

Personalen var väldigt hjälpsamma på plats. Vattenkokaren på rummet slutade att fungera och vi fick genast en ny. Vi frågade också om det gick att byta flaskan med det röda vinet vi fick mot vitt och det var heller inga problem.

Vi hade initialt enbart betalt för boende och frukost, men märkte foer att det lönade sig med all inclusive och frågor vi kunde uppgradera vilket inte var några konstigheter.
