Rather simple family-friendly hotel. Very tidy and clean with good service and very friendly staff. Had booked half board. Breakfast as a buffet, simply, but sufficient. Dinner two menus to choose, with soup and salad and dessert. Was very satisfied. Distance to the beach approximately 350 meters. The beach is for Kreta very nice. Almost only sand, a few rock. Very much gastronomy directly at the beach. Loungers free. Altogether a very nice beach vacation. … read more
