Our stay was just perfect and all we wanted: a place in the sun directly on the beach. Super friendly personnel, very helpful and charming. When you arrive, the first you get is a welcome drink - so vacation starts right away. Good food with great variety every evening. Corona precautions were well observed, so you can really feel safe there.
Unexpectedly we got a room upgrade because of the two separate beds we had ordered. What a nice surprise!
There is also bus station just 5 min away, so you can go to Heraklion for a day trip, it takes about one hour. The street in front of the hotel is very very touristic but nonetheless you can find good quality products like olive oil. There is also a good choice of (touristic) restaurants and bars (i can recommend the beachcomber for high quality cocktails, about 5 min walking distance). But as said: When you're up for a beach vacation with good quality to a fair price - that's your choice.
Going into the sea is quite easy because it stays very flat for a long time.
Thanks to the whole team, especially to Emanuela and the Manager (whose name i unfortunately forgot, but he was there literally everyday). I wish the hotel team just the best to withstand the current crisis.
In the end we even got a small bottle of olive oil to take home :)
