From the moment my son and I were collected from the coach drop off point in the village in the very early hours I knew we were going to be in for an amazing holiday. |Welcomed with a refreshing drink while we checked in our luggage was taken to our room where a much needed cold meat, fruit & cheese platter was waiting for us (at our request). |Our room was spotlessly clean, extremely comfy beds & pillows and as we were in an end room (316) we had the most fabulous view of the mountains, pool and sea! Fresh bottled water daily as well which was a bonus! I will say that the shower was wonderful, the only little niggle being I couldn’t reach the high bathroom window to open it to let the steam out.|Breakfast was more than we expected. A selection of cooked items and made to order eggs, an array of fruit, deli meats & cheeses, breads, pastries, sweet treats, Greek yogurt, honey & nuts and plenty of tea, coffee and fruit juices which we enjoyed around the pool. We didn’t eat at lunch as we were full from breakfast so can’t comment on the lunch menu. |The evening menu wasn’t really to our taste as we don’t eat fish or a lot of red meat, however the evenings we did eat we enjoyed what we had. The portions are enormous though and we could have shared starters and desserts. There are plentiful tavernas to eat at in the village should you fancy a change from the hotel menu. |The pool area was lovely, quiet and relaxing and we didn’t have any trouble securing sunbeds. Loved being able to order drinks straight to our sun loungers barely lifting a finger. The pool is fantastic, one of the best, quite deep, I couldn’t touch the bottom at 5ft 3 but it’s perfect for swimming, very refreshing.|The hotel had a very wide age range of guests and although I was visiting with my son we didn’t feel out of place amongst the couples, young and older and a few pairs of friends.|The friendly village itself is very small, a 5-10 minute walk from one end to the other with lots of small shops, cafe’s & restaurants and the small but beautifully sandy beach is literally 30 seconds walk from the hotel.|All in all we had an amazing holiday. Every single one of the staff that works there is cheerful, friendly and hardworking, striving to make your holiday perfect. They are all a credit to the hotel and both my son and I will not hesitate to recommend this hotel to friends and hopefully will return. We were definitely both sad to leave this little piece of Cretan paradise.
