We stayed at the hotel in late April/early May. Arrived at the opening of the season. It was wild to be in a large hotel, where there are 10-20 people resting at most, but it was not for long and by the time we left it was almost completely filled. The contingent of vacationers was most likely associated with the period of our vacation and consisted mainly of foreigners: families with small children and pensioners.
The hotel is located in a very picturesque bay near Agios Nikolas. If on foot, then an easy walking step in 30 minutes. you can walk to the city center. There are also buses, but we didn't use them. There are 2 beaches, which are fenced with an artificial embankment. Due to the location of the hotel and the arrangement of the beaches, there are practically no waves on the sea. Sunbeds on the beach are paid, but only until 15.00, and by the pool - free of charge.
We took a simpler room: a standard with a view of the garden and, going inside, we were pleasantly surprised. Spacious, well furnished room on the sixth floor with a huge balcony and great views of the villas, Agios Nikolas and the bay. The room has tea, coffee, kettle, which is very convenient. Cleaning was excellent, fresh flowers appeared every day, and tips were never taken. In general, there is nothing to complain about.

The territory of the hotel deserves special praise: very neat and tidy. The territory also has its own park, where you can walk and enjoy the views, a chapel, a playground. Everything around is blooming and fragrant.
I really liked the food, everything is very tasty and varied. We had a HB, for breakfast - a buffet, drinks for free, on Sundays champagne, for dinner - a buffet, and drinks are already for an additional fee, incl. and water. Moreover, this board turned out to be very expensive. Our guide advised us a cheap supermarket, which is located just across the road from the hotel, Discount Market. Later we rode around the island, went to a couple of large supermarkets, and it turned out that ours was really quite cheap. Also, the guide advised us a good inexpensive tavern for lunch Kri-Kri not far from the hotel, but it was not useful to us, because. Breakfast and dinner were enough for us.
Right behind the hotel in the direction of Agios Nikolas there are 2 car rentals, or rather there may be more, but given the low season, only 2 were open. We took a car from Kera rent car, everything seems to be fine, without any comments, at least letters to us until they came
Not far from the hotel towards Elounda there is a well advertised olive farm with a donkey, where they will tell you how olive oil was made in the old days and rakia was chased, and they will offer their “homemade” products at rather expensive prices, which are already produced by machine. In general, nothing interesting, except for a tortured donkey harnessed to a yoke.
In general, the hotel made the best impression, consistent style, excellent service, good location. It really is worth it to come back to it again.
