Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is situated up a mountain in a beautiful, relaxing part of Crete. The rooms are spacious, nicely decorated, and recently renovated with a very comfy bed and a range of pillows. The service is top-notch, especially Spyros the barman/waiter who is incredibly attentive. The dining options, although disappointing, offer home-made pastry. The location offers stunning views of Elounda Bay, but the exclusive pool for premium suite guests is a downside. The pool was described as high-class, and the hotel looked larger in the brochures. A varied and abundant dining menu was a plus, while the ambiance felt like a staff canteen for some. The hotel provides excellent service like room service, car hire, dry cleaning, housekeeping, laundry, welcome drink, and tours. Some amenities elevated the stay, while the average food quality in dining was a downside.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms, while advertised as spacious, turned out to be very compact, but they were big and comfortable. The noise from the generator outside made it hard to sleep at times. The service was incredibly friendly and helpful, always attentive to any needs. The location was lovely, especially with the beautiful pool, but some areas seemed exclusive only to premium suite guests. The dining options were varied, but the food quality was inconsistent. Overall, a decent stay with some ups and downs.
