Relaxing holiday at a lovely hotel
Enlarge letters A A Downsize letters A AHaving read reviews of this hotel meant we went with a lot of trepidation. On arrival we were pleasantly surprised. A quick friendly check in. Our room was in the main hotel with a lovely view of the sea & pool. We would admit the room was not 4 star but it was clean and adequate with towels and linen changed frequently.
The restaurant was run very efficiently by Mr G. & his staff. Plenty of choice. The Sunday evening meals were the best as they were traditional Cretan evenings with real Greek food although we did hear complaints "why are they serving Greek food". Why go abroad if you don't want to try the local cuisine.
The leisure facilities were excellent. 2 large outdoor pools with plenty of loungers, an excellent children's pool & a lovely indoor pool.
The beach was just across the road and was very sheltered by the harbour wall, the only complaint was that we don't agree you should have to pay for sun beds on the private beach if you are on a all inclusive holiday.
What was nice to see was that the owner was making sure everyone was having a good holiday. It was not beneath him to even clear the tables of dirty crockery.
The area outside the hotel was quite scruffy but we think is because of the economy of Greece, which was a shame.
