Poor parking space. Busy street and no pedestrian crossing nearby. Good pool area. Had to buy drinks at dinner. Poor quality of food. No soundproofing in the room doors. All noise comes from the corridors and other rooms.

I would not rate this property 4 stars. The ‘all inclusive’ was very limited. The dining area is very small with only a few choices at meal times. The walk to the beach was unpleasant. The hotel is on a noisy main road. I think the pictures are not a realistic reflection of how the hotel looks

Wir waren Anfang Oktober eine Woche in dem Hotel. Das Hotel ist insgesamt in Ordnung hat aber ein paar Mängel, die uns gestört haben:
Zimmer zur Straßenseite sehr laut. Die Straße ist wirklich stark befahren (auch nachts). Schlafen mit geöffnetem Fenster oder Sitzen auf dem Balkon ist nicht möglich.
Zimmer sind ganz geschmackvoll renoviert, allerdings mit Mängeln und u.E. nicht 4 Sterne Niveau (Kleiderschrank viel zu klein für Dreibettzimmer, Plastikkleiderbügel, Badezimmespiegel fleckig, Türgriffe lose).
Der Service an der Poolbar und abends an der Bar war sehr schlecht (unmotivierter Kellner, der kein Wort sprach, dreckige Plastikbecher am Pool). Man fühlte sich nicht willkommen, sondern eher störend.
Es gibt einen riesigen Unterschied zwischen All-In und HP Gästen was die Getränke angeht. Man wird als All-In Gast beim Essen kein 2. Mal nach einem Getränk gefragt.
Auch von der familiären Atmosphäre und der "herzlichen Besitzerin" haben wir nichts gemerkt. Insgesamt scheint das Hotel viele langjährige Stammkunden zu haben, die hier anders behandelt werden.
Positiv hervorzuheben sind:
Rezeptionspersonal
Essen (es gab jeden Tag etwas anderes)
Späterer Kellner an der Bar
Wir hatten einen schönen Urlaub würden dieses Hotel aber nicht nochmal buchen.

Hôtel très classe. Cinq minutes de la plage, caution pour les serviettes de plage. Chambre spacieuse et très agréable, à 5 minutes du centre, on peut se garer facilement. Seul bémol le restaurant ce n était pas très bon et le vin rouge je le déconseille.

Hôtel très bien décoré, adapté aux enfants avec 2 piscines.
Chambre spacieuse : nous avions une chambre familiale avec vue sur la piscine, au top.
Buffet pour le petit-déjeuner et dîner varié et très bien cuisiné.
Personnel souriant et à l'écoute. La directrice parle français ce qui est très appréciable.
Seul bémol sur les finitions notamment dans la chambre qui ne fait pas 4 étoiles.

Bra hotell
Fint hotell som ändå var hyfsat litet o mysigt. Bra pool område o nära till havet och en liten stad med mat o några butiker. Bussen gick till Rethymno och kostade 1.2€.
Det enda som var lite "negativt" var att det var väldigt lyhört från korridoren utanför men då det endast var ca 10 rum i en korridor så funkade det ändå.
Sen kunde man inte ha AC igång när man inte var i rummet så när det var dags o sova fick man köra AC under tiden. Fanns sleep mode som var lite tystare men AC satt vid huvudändan av sängen så den blåste kallt rakt på en när vi skulle sova.
Annars är vi super nöjda med vår vistelse. Vi hade inte all inclusive men fanns inte massa alternativ i baren så vi är nöjda med det valet.
Finns många bra resturanger i närheten med mycket bättre mat än hotellets.
Mycket variation på frukosten med allt från mackor, ägg, pannkakor, yoghurt o flingor, omelett, frukt så finns något för alla

Très bien
Hôtel très bien. Tout service sur place. Très jolis extérieurs. Très propre. Seul bémol c’est qu’à notre étage il y a eu beaucoup de bruit la première nuit des gens qui n’ont pas respectés. Une porte donnant sur l’extérieur était cassé. Et du coup il y a beaucoup de vent qui s’infiltrait dans le couloir.

Wir hatten ein Zimmer zur Straße, dass war sehr laut. Da hätten wir gar nicht schlafen können. Zum Glück haben wir dann in der zweiten Nacht ein Zimmer zum Pool bekommen, dann war es auch noch nicht optimal, aber besser.
Die Sauberkeit im Restaurant könnte auch noch verbessert werden.
Das Personal im Restaurant und an der Reception war klasse. 👋👋

Great little hotel
My partner and I stayed for one week with our 5yr old son. Hotel was nice, staff all very friendly, smiley and happy to help. Pool was clean, room was clean apart from under beds. A lot of people seem to go all inclusive at this hotel, we went half board. This meant they use cheap soft drinks so you can't get a coca cola for example. Supermarket is very close though. Would be nice to make the pool bar into a bar you can sit at during the day instead of a serving counter as it is at the moment with table and chair seating only. Bar staff and kitchen staff very friendly. 5 minute walk to the beach, not the nicest of beaches but it was ok. Much better beaches around. 1€ per person to get bus into Rethimno. All in all we had a great stay and would recommend. Our only complaint was our bed was like concrete, our sons bed was better so uck of the draw I guess.

Familiäre Hotelanlage
Die Hotelanlage ist zwar deutlich kleiner als auf den Fotos,was aber auch als Vorteil gesehen werden kann.Die Zimmer sind sauber und modern eingerichtet, Klimaanlage funktioniert. Die Lobby ist modern gestaltet, auf den Gängen und tw in den Zimmern sind immerwieder Rohre-da wird scheinbar noch etwas renoviert.
Die Poolanlage ist top und bietet für die Anzahl der Gäste ausreichend Liegemöglichkeiten auch im Schatten. Im Garten gibt es außerdem ein Beachvolleyball Netz, Dartscheibe, Riesenschach und einen Tischtennistisch zur freien Benutzung.
Der Strand ist ca 5min zu Fuß über eine kleine Straße erreichbar. Dort gibt es Liegen zum Mieten, aber auch die Möglichkeit einfach so am Strand zu liegen.
Das Frühstücksbuffet ist mehr als ausreichend, man kann drinnen oder draußen genug Plätze finden.
Abendessen kann man zb. in einer der 300m entfernten Tavernen oder 5min mit dem Auto entfernt in Rethymnon.
Besonders hervorheben möchten wir die freundliche Rezeption und die Möglichkeit am Abreisetag kostenfrei einen Umkleideraum incl Dusche benützen zu können. Super Service, wenn man nicht voller Sand und Salz im Flieger sitzen möchte!
