The most amazing views and wonderful staff. The food is unmatched, always delicious and reasonably priced. We especially appreciated the gluten free options. Close to the beach and bus stop to get downtown. I will DEFINITELY be back!

A great stay here in Crete, if you’re planning to come here from Heraklion I suggest renting a car (around 1 hour and 30 minutes from there). The resort is stunning, all new and with attentive staff. The food offered at the buffet was great, many options and with excellent desserts. The room was modern and stunning, I loved the pool on the balcony. The beach is long and stunning with nice beach beds. Overall I loved my stay here.
