The staff showed genuine care and attention! kallia especially was amazing, always greeting us with a smile and offering excellent service. the private beach area with cabanas was great. I liked the option to order drinks and snacks directly there. the food selection had a good variety and the chef was also helpful regarding our allergies.
it was slightly annoying that the gym only had a limited number of machines.

I appreciated the recently renovated building. The updated interior was modern and clean. Housekeeping provided daily cleaning, changed towels, and supplied bottled water. The main restaurant offered buffet-style meals with breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I found good variety with vegetarian options. Access to the private beach and pools was a highlight.

I really liked my room with its two sunbeds right outside. The whole hotel was very clean, which I appreciated. The staff was helpful and friendly, something I value a lot! I also enjoyed the convenient location near the main bus route to Heraklion, made exploring easy.
The all-inclusive cocktails tasted somewhat weak, a small thing I noticed.
