Amazing Room Views

My room had a stunning balcony view of the bay that left me in awe every morning. It was a joy to sip my coffee while taking in the picturesque landscape. The room itself was well-appointed and provided the perfect setting for relaxation after a day of activities.

Fun Kids' Club

My kids absolutely loved the kids' club! They engaged in various activities that kept them entertained for hours. The highlight was the organized games and crafts, which not only made them happy but also allowed me some relaxing time at the pool. A huge win for family vacations!

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. However, the steep hills could be a challenge, especially after a long day, and the dining options, while decent, left room for improvement in variety.

Our family trip had its highs and lows.

5.8/10

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 surroundings and various activities were enjoyable, but the dining experience could use significant improvement. The location is decent for exploring, but the extra costs for amenities added up quickly.
