We zijn echte Griekenlandgangers, en dit was goed. Geen plek voor feestnummers, heel geschikt voor rustzoekers en gezinnen met kleine kinderen. Eigen vervoer noodzakelijk anders sjouw je je een ongeluk naar strand, winkels en tavernes. Wij hadden een scooter, prima geregeld door de receptie. Uitstekende keuken (vonden wij), onbeperkt 3 gangen-buffet voor een tientje. Leuke bar bij een lekker zwembad, apart kinderbadje en klein speeltuintje. Wij hadden een studio, erg groot, erg netjes. Wel gehorig via de badkamer. De scooter bracht ons naar de prachtige natuur in de omgeving, naar Heraklion waar het goed shoppen was, een ontroerend lief klooster en strand. Heerlijke plek om een weekje bij te komen.

we spent one week in APRIL as a family there. Down: bathrooms are very tiny (shower, one sink, WC) / swimming pool is not heated. Nowhere to go on foot Plus : food! excellent meals. Service: extremely nice people, especially Angel at the bar. Very quiet. (in April, mind) There is one tennis court, it is free and there are rackets (ping pong rackets suck but the table is indoor so you can play even if it is windy) Nice walk donw to Lygaria beach and very nice restaurant there. From there you can walk to Agia Pelagia but it is a long way back. Rent a car (leave the hotel, turn right and newt to the supermarket you'll find a car rental) and go to Matala in the South, do some of the gorge hikes (beware: some hikes and some boat trips are not available in April). Go to Agios nicolaos and find a boat to Spinalonga. Go to Héraklion by bus (9:30 from the hotel and comes back at 2:30PM). Go to La Chania and rethymnon. That should be enough Do not choose this hotel in summer, it is too small but it was perfect in April. There is no entertainment, it does not please teenagers much. There are swings for toddlers. Have fun

This was a last minute booking for a few days sun after the rain of our British summer. I arrived at 04.00 a.m., was dropped off at the door by an independent transfer company and was a bit scared; no lights on anywhere. There was a doorbell which brought a member of staff a few minutes later (complete with dressing gown) who I had obviously woken from her sleep. But she couldn't have been more efficient, obviously couldn't wait to go back to bed. I was shown to my room, a studio apartment, and advised to return to reception the next day. My room, on the ground floor, had 2 single beds, mattress was a little hard, and the bed itself seemed on the short side; I found myself waking several times a night having banged my foot on the metal rail at the bottom of the bed. But linen was clean and the pillow was one of the best I have ever had in a hotel. There was no bath but otherwise usual suspects were present. Towels were changed daily and were still fluffy despite it being the end of high season. Room was cleaned daily. There was a clock radio in the room but unfortunately every time I returned to the room it had to be reset as the key is also the electric pass thingy(!!) . Small kitchenette area with basic amenities, fridge, 2 ring hot plate, crockery and cutlery. Small patio outside with stunning views of Lygiria bay. Hotel ammenities include tv and small library in reception; pool table, board games and snacks at the pool bar. Tennis court. Hotel also has small minibus which will take you down to beach at 10.30, 14.30 and 17.30. Other than that its a bit of a hike down (took 30 minutes) to the beach and about 60 minutes back (up a steep hill- don't forget to take water with you). Fortunately the views were great so pretended my rest stops were to take pictures rather than just to fill up on oxygen!! Went on a self catering basis and stocked up on bread, cheese, cooked meat on first day. Hotel has small market attached but only sells non-perishable goods. Does mean you don't have to lug water up the hill though. Hotel has buffet style breakfast and dinners. Lunch can be purchased at pool bar ie pizza, moussaka etc. Only ate at dinner time and menus were in German or French (I was the only Brit there). Ate a few things that remain a mystery to me and avoided something that looked remarkably like what a cobbler might repair your shoes with. Overall though food was to an acceptable standard and some dishes were home cooked from scratch which I liked. Not a lot to do at night time as the 'bus' stops at 17.30. Spent a lot of time on my patio contemplating the night sky with a bottle of Cretan wine (not bad). You would need to hire a car to get the most out of this hotel as it is a little isolated, half way up a hill and as a single traveller surrounded by French and German couples, there wasn't really a lot to do other than eat, drink, read and sleep. Good value for money and would recommend to others with the for mentioned car!
