My stay at the hotel was really enjoyable. The picturesque design makes it feel like a charming village, and there are plenty of activities to keep everyone entertained. The food was fantastic, but I found the rooms to be a bit lacking in some basic amenities. Overall, I appreciated the relaxing environment and the variety of options available for dining and activities.

The hotel offers a beautiful area with engaging activities and decent food. However, the room conditions don't match the expected 5-star standards, and there seems to be a notable preference shown towards French guests, which can be off-putting for others. While the overall experience has its charm, it's important to consider the distinctive treatment based on nationality.

Rooms

The rooms were clean and spacious but quite basic. The bathrooms showed signs of age, and some rooms had issues with ants.

While some staff were friendly, the reception team could improve their English and overall approach to customer service, especially for non-French guests.
Location

The resort is situated in a picturesque area with easy access to various local attractions, but it can feel isolated from other dining options off-site.
Dining

The dining experience was generally okay with a fair variety, but the quality of the drinks and the limited access to a la carte options left something to be desired.

I had a wonderful stay at the hotel, enjoying the luxurious amenities and the overall tranquil environment. The dining options were varied and delicious, but the drinks included in the all-inclusive package could definitely be improved. While I loved the elegant design of the resort, I found the room cleanliness could be inconsistent at times. Overall, it was a fantastic place to unwind and experience the spa facilities, even though there were a few hiccups.

I recently spent 10 days at this resort, which has fantastic facilities and a lively atmosphere, particularly if you enjoy a predominantly French environment. While the majority of the entertainment was in French, I found the quality to be impressive, and the all-inclusive dining options were delightful, although some offerings could improve. The service was excellent but could be a bit inconsistent with language barriers. Overall, it's a beautiful place to relax, especially with access to the Zen pool for a quieter experience.

The resort offers a beautiful blend of Cretan charm and modern amenities, creating a pleasant atmosphere for relaxation. However, the overactive entertainment schedule can be intrusive, particularly for those seeking peace and quiet. The food quality and variety are commendable, but the value of the all-inclusive package could be clearer. Overall, there are some standout features, but improvements in guest service and communication would enhance the experience.

Rooms
7.0
The rooms are spacious and cozy, but they lack certain toiletries like hair conditioner and bottled water, which is disappointing. They are cleaned daily, but the consistency of linen quality could be improved.
Service
6.0
While some staff were polite and professional, I encountered communication issues due to language barriers, which limited my ability to engage in activities. Response times can be sluggish, and improvements in guest interaction would help.
Location
8.0
The resort is conveniently situated, close to the beach and main pool with easy access to shops and restaurants within walking distance. However, if you're hoping for nearby attractions or neighborhoods to explore, you might find the surroundings a bit isolated.
Dining
8.0
Dining options were abundant and diverse, with meals consistently praised for their quality. Yet, the gala night format disrupted normal dining routines, and a clearer explanation of restaurant options would have been helpful.
Facilities
7.0
Facilities are well-equipped and plentiful, with various pools catering to different guest needs. However, excessive music and animation can deter a peaceful ambiance, especially in the evenings.
