The hotel offers a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms, although clean, had a slight unpleasant odor, possibly from the carpet or furniture. On the bright side, there were nice complimentary offerings like 'champagne', fruit, a Cretan cookbook, and a bottle of olive oil. Additionally, a free lunch provided one day added value. The service was superb, with attentive and helpful staff across all areas. The location, situated above a sandy beach in a scenic bay, was perfect for a peaceful getaway. The dining experience, although missing some traditional tastes, was enjoyable. Overall, a stay with ups and downs but with exceptional service and a stunning location.

I absolutely loved staying at this hotel! The location is fantastic, the rooms are clean and comfy, and the staff is extremely friendly. The dining experience could use some improvement, but overall, it was a wonderful stay. The price was reasonable, though some amenities required additional payment.

The hotel offers a charming experience with spacious rooms featuring a lovely curved roof and a balcony overlooking the bay. The rooms are clean and spacious, and guests receive delightful complimentary treats like champagne, fruit, a Cretan cookbook, and a bottle of olive oil. However, the hotel is not ideally located, contrary to the description, with multiple levels to navigate. The serene setting with tranquil bird songs adds a relaxing ambiance for sun worshippers. Dining options are varied but may require patience due to queues, while the dining quality varies. However, the hotel offers great views of the bay and surrounding mountains.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were tired and dated, but the balcony with a sea view was fantastic. The cleanliness was impressive, and the view of Istron Bay from the balconies with tables, chairs, and sunbeds was breathtaking. The towels were old and small, which was a downside.
