My experience at the hotel was quite mixed. While the views from the balcony were stunning and the beach was lovely, the room itself left much to be desired. The service was poor, and the dining options were not satisfactory at all. It has great potential with its location and views, but I wouldn't recommend it based on my stay.

I had a wonderful stay at the resort, with a great balance of comfort and convenience. The rooms were spacious and clean, though I wished there were more amenities like a kitchenette. The friendly service added to the intimate atmosphere, but at times the staff seemed a bit overworked. The location is perfect for beach lovers, just a short drive to the stunning shore. The on-site dining is a highlight, with delicious meals but is a bit pricey. Overall, I'd say it's a fantastic spot, just a few minor improvements could make it even better.

The rooms were modern, clean, and quite comfy, offering relaxing views that change from olive trees in the morning to a starry sky at night. They were a tad on the smaller side compared to other places I've stayed on Crete, but it was more than adequate for my needs.

Staying at this resort was a delightful experience for my family. The staff made us feel welcome and at home, which we really appreciated. Both the location near the beautiful Elafonisi beach and the delicious food at the taverna are major highlights. However, the room in the older part could use some updates, especially in terms of amenities. Overall, it was a fantastic stay, and we can't wait to return.
