We had a wonderful holiday at this resort! The staff went above and beyond to ensure we had a great experience, and the lively atmosphere made our stay enjoyable. The views of Elounda were breathtaking and added to the charm.

My stay at this hotel had its ups and downs. The views were simply breathtaking, and the service from the staff was a highlight, especially George who was incredibly helpful with transport.

We had a nice stay overall, although the experience didn't completely match the 5-star expectations. The service, while friendly, often lacked the level of care and attention that one would hope for in a luxury setting.

The location is decent for exploring, but the extra costs for amenities added up quickly.
