We went for 9 days, and loved our stay. Location wise it’s perfect when you love the old town of Chersonissos (we love it’s little square with all the good restaurants, the Pub and the lovely locals). Also you can take a walk to Piskapiano and Koutoulafari (it will take you like max 30 minutes). A walk to Chersonissos boulevard and sea will take a little longer (say 45 minutes) and we took a taxi back to the hotel. The hotel staff was really nice and everyday when we needed, we got new towels and the room was cleaned. The room itself was beautiful and modern. Lovely roof terrace with a pool (and bar) and nice over Chersonissos, and the sea (see photo). When it’s quiet you’ll even hear some mountain goats 🙏. Breakfast was good and you’ll have more then enough choices. When something is empty, they will fill it back up even at the end of breakfasttime. At the last day we had to leave early and they even gave us a lunch packet. Thank you so much, we’ll come back!
If there was 10 stars that what I would rate it. Maria on reception is the most wonderful human being EVER. She is ELITE. We received such a lovely welcome . The hotel is gorgeous. Great facilities. Delicious breakfast . Fabulous housekeeping staff. I would recommend this hotel to anyone who wants a lovely hotel in Crete.
I recently stayed at this 4-star hotel and had a wonderful experience. The room was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped, and the staff were always friendly and attentive. From check-in to check-out, everything went smoothly. The service was excellent, and we truly felt welcomed and taken care of. 😊
We stayed at this hotel about a month ago and we were pleasantly surprised. The hotel is very well located near the city, the rooms are very clean and confortable but the main quality is the staff. Everyone is so nice, ready to help at any moment and the service is gold. We wanted to say especially thank you to Anastasia who were so kind to us every evening, so happy to help us with any demands. We will definitively come back!
