Quite big room, clean and big enough bathroom, close to sandy beach. Very good food, greek and International, wonderful garden , car park on site for free

Staff in the restaurant who took us to the table without any discus where we prefer to sit even if the restaurant was almost empty. Some customers can do much more then others for example take alkohol for free after 11p.m I saw from balcony when some girl poured beer for adult, nobody from staff was in this time behind the bar opposite was one didn't take any action. It happened after greek evening 2th of November about med night. Staff requires more supervision from management. You can see on picture a girl behind the bar

Beautiful resort with lovely architecture and gardens. All staff were amazing and incredibly kind. Our children really loved the kids club and water park. Personally I loved the clean pool, big buffet, architecture of the hotel and great atmosphere for families. We had an amazing 10 days stay with our family with two children and grandparents.

Online thing to mention - the hotel has a few different room types all across the resort, some near the mountains, close to the beach, some near the restaurant and hotel bar so depending on what you enjoy during a holiday it might be worth checking the location and how busy it may be near your room.

Food great, also one dinner we had at the seaside restaurant - very nice! Ask to books “special restaurants” upon arrival to get a spot. Beach is great, baby disco and evening animation we enjoyed. Some nights were truly impressive (acrobatic trio)

The sun beds are 20€/day extra and there is almost no space to come with your own towel, but just keep in mind I’m this extra cost.

Proximity to the sea, a lot of swimming pools (they opened a new one on our last day at the hotel), good food including Cretan and Greek cuisine, slides for children, regular cleaning, ice cream for lunch and dinner as well as the ice cream hour.

Paid sunbeds

Great facilities for a family holiday. Spacious bedrooms with good beds. Staff very friendly.

Had to pay to use the beach beds €15 per day. The shop in the resort only accepts cash. Had to leave a €10 deposit for the use of pool/beach towels. Activation team need more guidance on the activities for the kids.

Swimming pools, water park, bars and beautiful beach everything was perfect. Facility is quite clean and new. Room size was big enough with two double beds. Balcony drying rack was so useful after waterplay for drying all swimming cloths and tubes.

Every breakfast was same, dull and boring a bit. It costs about 20eur for lending two sunbeds and one parasol at the beach.

Good hotel, with excellent food. Personnel is nice and helpful. Free parking. A lot of activities for kids.

Not enough space for all people, crowded near pools, the construction works are in progress near waterpark. Sunbeds near the sea are not included.

Very good quality-price ratio, smiling friendly personel, nice location- lots of small shops and eating places just next door. Coctails are more or less okay.

Really lot of small children, families love the place, therefore not an ideal hotel for romantic getaway. Sunbeds and chairs are not free in hotel beach.

Amazing holiday destination

The rooms near the bar were a bit noisy. Heating didn’t work on the 1st day, when it was still cold. Safe was not free of charge.

We went at the tail end of the season so it wasn’t that busy. Enough sun beds and pools to choose from. Also very close to the beach with all inclusive bar nearby.

Some of the areas require maintenance it refurbishments. Food and drinks was acceptable, far from great. We tried the included a la cart restaurants: Greek wasn’t good, Italian was good, Asian we didn’t try. There is no standard price list for the spa treatments.
