This is a very large complex which is set very close to the sea and within a 30 minute walk of Elounda town & Square. The grounds are beautiful and very well kept and the staff are friendly. There are several pool areas and a beach side sunbathing Terrace with a nice but expensive pool bar. On balance, this being the end of the season, the whole place felt very tired and cleaning standards were not good. Dirty bits of napkin propping up table legs, filthy floors, huge balls of dust in our room etc. plus general maintenance needs and standards were disappointing. Overall, there are parts of this resort that feel five star and others that feel three star at best the rooms feel very dated and tired. We also found that the photos depicting our Seaview classic bungalow did not show the reality of the tiny outside space either. Breakfast is varied and plentiful, but very busy and there is seating inside and outside, but inside sadly reminded us of school dinners in the canteen! Quality of food was generally good but the quality of the coffee was truly dreadful so don’t bother and get one in town instead! Views from our room were beautiful and the resort was generally peaceful at night and the bed was comfortable and we slept well. This resort has so much potential to be wonderful and a real five star experience based on its location and facilities. But poor cleanliness, dated rooms in need of maintenance and lack of attention to details let it down.

The best thing by far was the staff! Always very attentive but the pool, bar, in the restaurants and at reception. I noted that I did not have a preference on Expedia to request two single beds, so I messaged the hotel through Expedia, this message for some reason was not received despite receiving a message. However, the hotel managed to sort a temporary solution and moved rooms after 2 days. The food at the buffet was very good with lots of options. The hotel itself was a little dated, with some rooms different than others. The gym lacked free weights and only had a cable machine and cardio machines, I think that could be improved on. If you don’t have a car it may be a little difficult to get around, though the small town/ village of Elounda is just about walkable. Overall we had a great stay and I would recommend this hotel if your looking to stay in the Elounda area.

This is a lovely hotel built in the style of a Greek village going down a hill to the sea. Our room was modern with a lovely sea view. The buffet breakfast and evening buffet meal in the main restaurant were very good as were the other restaurants. The staff were excellent and went out of their way to make out stay enjoyable.

A fabulous view across the bay this hotel did not disappoint. Great accommodation and we upgraded to the room with a private pool, well worth it. Great buffet breakfast with plenty of choice the alternative restaurants where an affordable treat with an extensive wine list offering both local and regional mainland options.

All considered the place is nice and good quality for money but I didn’t get the “5 stars resort” vibe especially regarding meals. Main pros are service (staff extremely nice) and settings (beautiful views and nice location if you have a car). Main con is food. Meals in the main restaurant weren’t great (other than breakfast). Quite repetitive and while some dishes were nice others were below standard. Other negative point is that even with all inclusive you had to pay for most dishes at the other restaurants available (or very limited choices for dishes included in the all inclusive package) but the restaurants were nice, great settings/service and food was good there. You should be careful to the room you pick because apparently there are different ones under the same category… and they are really not the same. However the staff was very kind and helped us find another room more in line with what we were expecting. Views are amazing especially on the sunrise and the little private beach is great even if it may be difficult to have the flexibility to chose between sun and shadow in certain moments of the day. Swimmingpool area is nice but it is very difficult To find available sunbeds if you don’t go first thing in the morning.

I went on holiday with my friend and the views were amazing, the sea view , the staff were very friendly and helpful. We booked half board and the food was mainly cold and repetitive, they also don’t offer water or drinks during meals and you have to pay for a drink for your meal and not allowed your own drink. Breakfast was amazing , staff really friendly. For the price paid, bare minimum is to offer water for meals. They also offer a room to change for ur flight after checkout which is lovely
