A fantastic hotel, alone on a hill about a kilometer of milatos ( on foot at the sea along) and 5 kilometer from Sissi ( via car or bus) away. Wonderful, well-kept garden, spacious room and balcony with 100% view of the sea with daily spectacular sunset. Many beautiful corners/ambience, where man/woman peace and relaxation finds. Altogether 13 pools, partially build/or: quiet pool without children. Altogether was the luxury getting a bit old and partly pe …  read more

For the waiters I would like to a neutral state, but this is not. The complex altogether is largely and well, but not deluxe, as the hotel itself calls and also be classified. There are some faults, the 5 star picture cloudy, although certainly in the comparison with other facilities on Kreta the minos imperial an elevated class. 1. Staff You had the impression the season was probably quite strenuous. Nobody was unfriendly, a thank you/you're welcome, etc. Was always in all employees available. Some seemed quite irritated-it is perhaps another mentality, but in a German five star hotel must as employee … read more
