"The staff and check in was exceptional. We received a very personal touch. The facility is amazing, the beach was also clean and very pleasant. The pictures don't do justice to how beautiful the facility is. The housecleaning and room service was also top notch. I'd recommend this place for anyone seeking a vacation on this part of Crete. The location is very close to Agios Nikolaos a very pleasant seaside town."

For me & every tourists nightmare - I lost my passport on the plane. The concierge, Mariana, knew how stressful this was and was on the phone to the airline, the airport, and the police for us right away. She found it for me. Just incredible. Thank you, and thanks to the airport staff and police for being well prepared for these events."
