This is a beautiful hotel right across the street from the sea. Rooms are bright, clean and comfortable and the design of the facility is unique and modern. The breakfast / dinner buffets are outstanding.

Property very nice . Room had plenty of space. Booked room with private pool. Fabulous view. We had buffet breakfast and buffet dinner which were both great. Only downside was property built on hill. So walking down ok, but walking up a little hard if you are older. They will take you to your room in golf cart with a phone call which we used. Only stayed one night

Worst hotel experience in Crete – avoid if you have a baby or mobility issues We stayed in 3 hotels during our trip to Crete, and we visit Greece twice a year – this was by far the worst experience. The hotel is absolutely not suitable for parents with a baby or anyone with reduced mobility: steep slopes, stairs everywhere (bar, restaurant, beach). We booked a sea view room as shown in the photos, but got a noisy room facing the main road, with constant traffic and hotel staff passing. They dared to say it was “better for a baby.” No baby cot was provided – just an unsecured sofa. How is a 5-month-old supposed to sleep on that? We asked for a change – they said “we’ll call you tomorrow.” No one called. Worse: they claimed they called the room while we told them we’d be out. Result? Wasted our time and ruined our day. They don’t know how to manage anything. No apology, no empathy, just “that’s how it is.”

One of the best accommodations we have ever seen. Service was top notch (they even thought of preparing some sandwiches because we checked in really late - and they prepared huge take-away breakfast because we checked out very early). They also offer complimentary dinners in addition to expected breakfast. The view is breathtaking, the parking is easy and the beach is great, too. Beware, though, that you'd most likely want to have water shoes for swimming - the water is emerald and crystal clear, but is not your generic sandy beach, the bottom is lava and slate rock, kinds slippery. Once you get deep enough you are just fine. Of course, they have a terrific pool area with a bar and evening live entertainment. All in all, excellent experience.

Good with mistakes!

Although we were overall satisfied with the hotel, I will describe both the positive and negative experiences we had! The hotel is a complex built in a modern style with a villa-like layout. Our room was exceptionally clean and well-equipped. Upon arrival, we were greeted with a surprise: a fruit platter and a bottle of champagne! The staff was kind, smiling, and helpful. After we booked the room, we found out from the confirmation that dinner in addition to breakfast was also included in the price. It was fantastic! There were so many food options. Delicious, flavorful dishes! And now for the negatives: When we arrived, the room temperature was 30.5°C (86.9°F)! Since we were only given one key card, and the air conditioning only worked with the card, the room kept heating up again whenever we left. The booking photos showed a balcony with a sun lounger but instead, we got a balcony facing a walkway, with just two chairs and a small table, and this was also where the entrance to the room was. I can’t imagine anyone wanting to sit out there! The hotel has several design flaws. Most balconies face common areas, so there’s zero privacy! In addition, the shower leaked, the toilet kept running, and an unpleasant smell constantly came into the room from the bathroom. Every morning, we were woken by the slamming of the cleaning room door and the loud talking of the staff. Despite all this, it’s up to everyone to decide whether they would like to stay here or not.

Hôtel face à la mer!!

Notre chambre était simple mais confortable. Dommage qu'il y ai eu des soucis d'étanchéité au niveau de la porte de la douche. Très belle terrasse, mais problèmes de vis à vis générale au niveau de l'ensemble des chambres. La rue en face de l'hôtel n'est pas gênante -accès facilité à la plage directe- Buffet complet le matin (dommage pas de vrai jus d'orange) et bonne restauration le soir selon les thèmes (nouveaux thèmes tous les soirs; très bien en général sauf soirée asiatique). Et pour finir un bravo générale sur la qualité, la gentillesse et l'amabilité de l'ensemble du personnel !!!

Great place, beautiful beach, extreme relaxation

The breakfast was excellent in terms of choices and quality. The dinner was ok, but being a buffet drops the quality. Still good selection, but it felt like buffet. Not really a problem but being a Greek I am used to have better cooked dinner from restaurants, but for buffet style food was still quite good

Das Hotel ist perfekt für alle, die Erholung suchen. Durch die Hanglage hat man einen tollen Blick auf das Meer. Es gibt zwei Gemeinschaftspools, einen davon an der Poolbar. Viele der Zimmer haben einen eigenem Pool (empfehlenswert), andere teilen weitere größere Pools, die dann auch nur von den Zimmern mit „Swim-up“-Option genutzt werden können (diese sind nicht für die Allgemeinheit - bspw. der auf den Fotos zu sehende „schlangenförmige“ Pool). Das Essen war gut und abwechslungsreich. Der Service war sehr freundlich und bemüht. Alles war super sauber, sowohl unser Zimmer als auch der Rest der Anlage. Für Unternehmungen ist ein Mietwagen empfehlenswert, da fußläufig nichts erreichbar ist (nach Ierapetra sind es ca. 25-30min zu Fuß). Wir hatten einen tollen Aufenthalt und können das Hotel uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen.

Et fantastisk sted 25 minutter gangavstand fra strandpromenaden i Ierapetra. Høy standard, stille og rolig, nydelig mat, fantastisk beliggenhet i nydelige omgivelser og ikke minst veldig hyggelige ansatte. Det frister med et nytt og lengre opphold.

Not for me.

Nice room & amazing view. Lovely welcome fruit platter & bubbly. However my room offered no shade after 2pm. No umbrellas. Apparently because of wind. Guess they don't know about concrete base umbrellas. So impossible to sit outside most of the day. Food very average. Built on a hill. Golf buggies available to drive you back up. Wouldn't want to be dependent on that in high season.

Top du top !

Mieux que sur les photos. La maisonette avec piscine est superbe, spaiceuse, grand luxe. Buffet varié et très bon le soir. Idem au petit-déjeuner. Le seul bémol, mais pas des moindres, au vu du tarif on attend que la petite pisicine privée soit chauffée, c'est indispensable pour un sejour fin octobre. Comme elle ne l'était pas, nous n'en avons que tres peu profité, dommage.

Great setting, let down in a few areas

Overall this was a nice stay, the hotel has been designed and built very well. It's built on the side of a hill and as such, the higher you go, the better the view. The view over Ierapetra city at night is amazing. The only comment on the room is that the lighting could do with being better at the bathroom mirror and the wardrobe needs more shelves / drawers. We got a warm welcome on check in but rarely got a welcome at other times. Often no acknowledgement of arriving for breakfast or dinner. During the service of these, the staff often looked over-worked. That being said, overall the food was good. The beach was lovely with decent sun beds. In the near week that we were there the bins were never emptied or the sunbed tables wiped down. The beach bar was good, but would be so much better if they walked round every now and then to see if you wanted anything rather than having to go up each time. The gym was equipped OK, though could probably do with having a set of dumbbells. Nothing to wipe down equipment after use, the air con was limited to 24°C and no towels available which again was a let down, especially as they were strict on limiting towels. The little spa on site is decent - felt very relaxed after a massage. Overall we had a nice relaxing stay and it's almost frustrating that they don't just put a bit more effort in to get it amazing.

Die Sauberkeit der Unterkunft ist absolut hervorragend. Das Personal ist kompetent und sehr freundlich und herzlich. Einzig manch eine Servicekraft mangelt es noch an Erfahrung zum Thema abräumen und den Überblick zu behalten. Das Essen ist abwechslungsreich und schmackhaft. Die Zeiten für den Wechsel der Strand Handtücher waren nach meinem Empfinden sehr eingeschränkt. Die Anbindungsmöglichkeiten sind sehr limitiert, da kein Bus fährt. Entweder man muss sich ein Taxi bestellen um zum nächsten Ort zu kommen oder einen Mietwagen buchen. Der Fußweg nach Ierapetra ist an der Hauptstraße generell machbar aber nicht unbedingt zu empfehlen. Es ist auf jeden Fall ein Hotel in dem man sich wohl fühlt wenn man die Ruhe genießen möchte. Der Strand Zugang ist optimal. Diese Unterkunft ist Ideal für Erwachsene, Pärchen oder wie für mich in diesem Fall als Mutter mit fast erwachsener Tochter. Das Hotel kann ich wärmstens empfehlen.

Wunderschöne und sehr gepflegte Anlage. Sehr freundliches Personal, wir hatten sogar Glück und ein Upgrade bekommen auf eine Maisonette Wohnung mit Pool. Das Essen war insgesamt sehr gut, Preise waren für die Getränke auch in Ordnung. Es gab an einigen Tagen live Musik und einen DJ an der Poolbar. Yoga wurde ebenfalls angeboten was uns persönlich allerdings nicht so gut gefallen hat, die Massagen können wir auch nicht empfehlen. Sollte man es trotzdem machen wollen, auf jeden Fall die Preise nachverhandeln.
