I have just had a Cretan massage and facial at the hotel spa with Vasiliki and the experience was exceptional! Have left feeling very relaxed and floaty!

The hotel was lovely, and the spa was especially amazing. Everyone was so welcoming, and it was so relaxing! Vasiliki and Aimilia were great, my sister in law and I left feeling extremely relaxed.

Amazing location. Lovely atmosphere around the hotel. Relaxed throughout. Stunning accommodation. Made use of the spa facilities and experienced a treatment which was excellent with Aimifia.

We’ve just got back from this hotel as a family of 3 and had a wonderful time. We got upgraded from a bungalow with a pool, to a villa with a pool which was bigger than we booked so we were very happy with this. My son spent most of his time in our pool. The view from most of Hotel was just stunning. The room was cleaned everyday and comfortable to sleep with strong air con. I’ve seen some reviews about the service but we didn’t find this an issue at all. There may of been only 1 person serving at the bars but the wait was never very long. We did get the free transfer to the little private beach which was lovely and tranquil and has its own bar and toilets. The guy serving there was super happy and chatty but we didn’t catch his name. Most of the staff friendly and helpful and will do anything to help. We had a late flight home and got late check out which was fantastic as we had most of the day still at the pool. We did visit the water park which was great fun, and also has its own bar. Only a few minutes to walk from the main pool. There are golf carts that the staff will come and pick you up/ take you where you want to go around the complex. There is nothing close to walk to at this hotel but that suited us as there’s plenty to do. You can get a taxi to the nearest town about 20 mins away which costs 20 euro each way. Plenty of bars and restaurants and beautiful beach front there. The transfer from airport is about an hour and half. If you are wanting premium first class food for each meal then this might not be for you. We always found food to eat every time and there’s plenty of selection but it’s probably not in keeping with the rest of the hotel. The hotel has a luxurious vibe but the main food buffet does not. We did have one evening in the Italian which was very nice. This is the only reason for the 4/5 as we had an excellent holiday.

The hotel itself is stunning, with beautifully arranged spaces, amazing natural surroundings, and wonderful sea views that create a very relaxing atmosphere. The property truly looks and feels luxurious. Unfortunately, the experience did not match the hotel’s luxury standards when it came to the food and service. The food selection was very limited, portions were small, and the taste was disappointing overall. During the day, the bar was also poorly stocked, with several drinks unavailable. Although the staff were kind and respectful, it was clear that the hotel was understaffed for such a large resort, which impacted the quality and speed of service.
