Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers a clean and modern stay with a comfortable bed and good shower, although the location and dining options could be improved. The staff are helpful and friendly, adding a pleasant touch to the experience.
The hotel offers adequate rooms with convenient heating/air conditioning and well-equipped amenities. The service is excellent overall, despite occasional exceptions. The location provides easy access to nearby attractions while offering a pleasant beach experience. The dining options are satisfying with a hint of Greek flavor. The facilities are well-maintained and contribute to a pleasant stay.
The hotel is perfectly located just a 2-minute walk to the private beach. The rooms are beautiful, clean, spacious, and well-equipped, making for a comfortable and modern stay. While the dining options were quite good overall, there were a few inconsistencies with the breakfast menu. The service was mostly friendly and professional, ensuring a pleasant experience overall.
My stay at the hotel was truly enjoyable. The rooms were spacious, clean, and well-located for all amenities on the first floor. The hotel had great sunloungers and a good tub, making the stay very comfortable. The only downside was the absence of a beach bar and the need to pay for bottled water.
Upon arrival, I was delighted to find a clean and modern room with its own air conditioning unit and a remote control. The option to open the glass sliding door to let in the refreshing sea breeze was a lovely touch. The view to the pool from the room was beautiful, creating a serene atmosphere for relaxation. The double bed provided a comfortable stay.
The hotel offers stunning views with very well-used rooms but some maintenance issues like threadbare carpets and rust in the bath. The cleanliness falls short with litter and pills under the bed, grubby towels, and unpressed sheets. The service is exceptional, worth visiting for delicious meals, and the staff is very helpful. The location is a bit off, situated on the wrong side of the main road into Rethymnon, though the beach is accessible via an underpass. The dining experience is below par with limited breakfast options. The hotel facilities are adequate but in need of some improvements.
The hotel had clean and comfortable rooms with a few signs of wear at the end of the season, equipped for a relaxing stay. The staff, from reception to the pool bars, were exceptionally friendly and helpful. While some construction work was ongoing and the location was quite remote, the private beach a short walk away was perfect for a relaxing time.
The hotel offers a great sea view from the room and is conveniently located for accessing amenities on the first floor. The rooms could use some sprucing up, with threadbare carpets and unpressed towels as downsides, but overall, the stay was enjoyable.
My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The room had a bed settee for my son and was spacious, comfortable, and well-equipped. The air conditioning was good, and we enjoyed plenty of hot water and a nice tub. The most impressive part was the incredibly comfortable bed and the massive balcony with a marvelous view. However, there seemed to be a plumbing issue as the bathroom floor flooded when using the shower.
The hotel is superbly located near the beach, offering clean and comfortable rooms and exceptional service from the friendly staff. The dining experience is adequate, but improvements could be made. The price is reasonable for the value provided, with some minor downsides like additional charges for certain services.
