Not as described on hotels.com
Hotel was completely unsatisfactory and the description of hotel misrepresented the hotel. 1. Description says hotel is air conditioned and that was a requirement for our selection as Greece was quite hot. Hotel advised us that air conditioning would not be turned on in room unless we paid 8 euros additional a night. We fought with them over this for a long time and finally got the air conditioning. 2. Description says all rooms have wifi. No rooms have wifi and the wifi available in the lobby is non-functional. 3. Description said rooms had a sea view. Our room had a road view and a further view of a weed filled lot. 4. Bathroom was so small, there was not even room to mount a roll of toilet paper on the wall. 5. Furnishings were spartan and very low end. 6. Parking was limited or inconvenient. This is the opposite of the description of the hotel.

Regarding this review we have to say the following: 1) The guests were checked in an air-conditioned room which is also 20 meters from the sea front /beach but wanted to change because they didn’t like it. The reason is that this room has twin beds and not a double bed. So the reception had no other solution but to move them to the only available studio which was garden view. 2) Twin beds can easily be converted to a double bed studio but not at 10pm as our maids are not in duty. Since they just stayed with us for one night this offer was rejected. 3) The bathroom in studio they didn’t like is of course bigger that the bathroom in the originally booked studio. 4) Air-conditioning was given to them as a courtesy. 5) Our reception hours are from 9am to 9pm. Our receptionist stayed till 11:30 pm in order to find a solution. 6) There is FREE WIFI. However technology sometimes fails………. It is not our fault that the signal and the internet speed sometimes in the area is weak. 7) When they asked for wired connection the receptionist indicated a place (at the lounge area where the internet hot spot is located) to plug in. 8) There is a huge parking area at the entrance of the hotel (covers almost 1/3 of the whole plot. 9) Pictures of the studios and apartments can be seen in the photos (furniture also)

Dear Guest, Thank you for your choice to visit us for one night. The room you were offered as well as the whole floor were renovated this winter. You were the first to occupy it something which may excuse the detection of a slight odor. Our tavern ,poor since it is the beginning of the season opens at 08.00 Breakfast is being served from 07.30 after the 15th of June. Finally a first floor sea view with privileged balcony studio which faces south does not need something more than heavy curtains to block the light. Anyway we thank you once again for your nice words for the staff and the area and hope to be able to accommodate you for a longer period sometime in the future.

kiva pieni hotelli lähellä lentokenttää
olimme yhden yön, aamulla aikaiseen lento kotimaahan. Hotelli tähäntarkoitukseen erittäin viihtyisä, viikkoa samassa kohteessa... hmm... Palvelu oli erittäin ystävällistä ja kodinomaista.

FERIE - null stress!
Har vært her en gang tidligere. Praktfull beliggenhet. Kan ikke finnes bedre på hele Kreta. Greie leiligheter - ikke luksus, men helt fint. Litt dårlige nettforhold - men helt perfekte forhold for oss som liker å lese og å bare være... Flott restaurant ytterst på odden med masse god mat - og desserter. God drikke. Gode snorkelforhold. Ta med svømmeføtter og snorkelutstyr! Anbefaler stedet for alle som vil ha FERIE.

albergo con rapporto prezzo qualità corretto
location tranquilla ed adatta a famiglie con bambini piccoli, spiaggetta piccola e su cemento ma mare pulitissimo e quieto, vicina una spiaggia molto bella, un po' piccolo lo spazio in acqua per i bambini. c'è però un ottima piscina. camera spartana ma funzionale, pulizia un po' sommaria specie del bagno. manca totalmente di confort, televisore veramente micro anni'80 e bagno con doccia provvista di tenda in plastica scomoda, un box doccia in plastica sarebbe costato davvero poco. nel complesso corretto il rapporto tra il prezzo e la qualità, il personale si è mostrato molto gentile ma poco efficiente nel gestire le eventuali problematiche, come la mancanza del letto matrimoniale anche se specificato nella prenotazione. la cosa è stata risolta al meglio con l'unione dei due letti singoli ma purtroppo per la settimana intera non abbiamo avuto la disponibilità di lenzuola matrimoniali.

Günstige Übernachtungsmöglichkeit in schöner Lage
Wir sind Ende der Hauptsaison als Paar angekommen und 10 Nächte geblieben. Unser Apartment war einfach und funktional eingerichtet und hätte gut von 4 Personen genutzt werden können, dank 2 Schlafzimmern. Man sollte keinen Luxus erwarten sondern einfach eine gute Möglichkeit zu schlafen, beieinander zu sitzen, sich selbst zu verpflegen und zu entspannen. Der Strand beginnt nicht direkt vor der "Zimmer"tür, aber ist direkt am Hotelgelände. Die Rezeption ist nett eingerichtet mit ein paar Spielen, vielen Büchern und dem besten Platz für den WLan-Empfang. Sehr sympathische Mitarbeiter, Englisch sollte man aber schon können, zumindest Grundzüge. Das Essen der Taverna des Hotels kostet mehr als in den anderen Tarvernas des Ortes (die wir besucht haben), ist aber optional. Uns hat es gefallen, für den Preis eine super Leistung.

bellissimo posto, sistemazione modesta
La baia è incantevole, il mare cristallino, il personale gentilissimo, la clientela tranquilla ed educata. Ma la struttura sorge in un luogo isolato e un mezzo di trasporto è essenziale, almeno per fare la spesa, dato che il negozio più vicino è a 20 minuti a piedi (sotto al sole cocente) e la corriera per Canea passa 5 volte al giorno a dieci minuti dall'ingresso. Tutto è gestito con estrema parsimonia: la biancheria è vecchia e ingiallita, la reception chiude dalle 21 alle 9 e nessunp presidia la struttura. Vi è una sola addetta alle pulizie. L'aria condizionata e le cassette di sicurezza si pagano a parte, il frigorifero si spegne quando si ritira la placchetta portachiave che fa funzionare la luce e se ci si assenta per la giornata latticini e medicinali sono da buttare. La doccia in quanto tale è inservibile, perche i 9 forellini (contati) del microfono di plastica non forniscono un flusso d'acqua sufficiente e comunque manca la pressione. Il televisore trasmette in maniera annebbiata 4 canali. il WIFI non funziona. La cifra pagata per un monolocale alquanto modesto è stata equa, ma solo perchè in offerta speciale: una tariffa superiore a quanto pagato sarebbe stata eccessiva.

wartość=cena
Oceniam wszystko bardzo pozytywnie gdyż trafiliśmy na korzystną cenę za apartament i za taką cenę nie spodziewaliśmy się niczego więcej. Powiem nawet, że zostaliśmy pozytywnie zaskoczeni wyglądem basenu, widokiem morza i apartamentem jaki został nam przydzielony. Zejście do morza piaszczysto kamienne, leżaki bezpłatneNasz apartament/domek znajdował się praktycznie przy samym basenie i posiadał zagrodzony taras tylko do naszego użytku. Widok z okna mieliśmy na basen, morze i górę. Obsługa bardzo przyjazna, jedzenie faktycznie nie jest urozmaicone, ale bardzo smaczne. Obok jest tawerna z większym wyborem dań i owocami morza. Jakby jeszcze komuś było mało w Stavros są dwa Mini Markety oraz kilka tawern, my szczególnie polecamy tę z młynem. Miejsce piękne, spokojne, idealne do odpoczynku od pracy i zgiełku miasta. Jedyny problem mieliśmy z taksówką, która nie przyjechała na godzinę 4:45 rano. Recepcja o tej porze była zamknięta, a my nie posiadaliśmy numeru do korporacji. W przypadku tak wczesnych wylotów warto się zabezpieczyć w numer telefonu i włączyć roaming. Mimo tych komplikacji i stresu planujemy wrócić do Blue Beach ze znajomymi. Szczerze polecamy.

er godt fornøyd med hotell, nærhet til sjø, basseng, utsikt, personalet. det negative er forlang avstand til butikk.
