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.

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.
