A great hotel but beware of listing
The hotel is fantastic, but look at the hotel website for clarification on the room spec. Hotels.com stated the room came with private pool but it didn’t. The great service at the hotel ensured we had a great time. It’s a fantastic peaceful hotel but be mindful of the star rating as some facilities don’t meet the mark I.e spa, food variety

Lovely rooms, very clean, great food and lovely staff. On the downside the drinks were pretty average. Coffee not great, wine not great, soft drinks varied, spirits weak. Also found it very odd for a supposed 5 star to have to pay extra for things like pool towels, some “premium” sun beds and bottled water? Not expected. The dining areas could really do with better lighting and some added character - they feel a bit canteen-like. However the food was really very good. Fresh, varied and tasty with lots of options. Deserts were also excellent. And the staff are great all round. It’s a quiet hotel, peaceful, with little or no evening entertainment even in peak summer. But if that’s what you like this is hard to beat. We walked into the village one evening which was so nice with a few good local restaurants, and only took 10/15 mins to walk. The grounds, pool area and rooms are so well kept and can’t be faulted. We were in the swim up rooms which were very lovely with great views. Best of both worlds. Overall I would definitely recommend it, and would certainly go back.

Friendly and helpful front desk. Bars were understaffed and slow. Food was hit or miss. Some was very nice while other selections were bland.

Great Holiday
Stayed in the hotel for 2 weeks with extended family. Food: tasty, always warm, a lot of variety (appreciated a lot of seafood choices) Room: pick a room with a sharing pool Staff: everyone really friendly and accommodating Main pool: nice with a poolbar in the middle and really good for small kids as on two parts depth gradually increases Beach: we did not visit often as it was windy and wavy, so you really appreciate all the pool options Animation: no animation (minidisco etc) for kids, 1 greek night and 2 one man shows in two weeks - as a family with small kids we would apeciate something more in the evening time, but the hotel is still relatively new and maybe still developing in this area Cleanliness: very appreciated the cleaning team work - towels changed every day Advice: rent a car and discover Chania area

Nous sommes restés neuf jours dans une chambre accès piscine, en all inclusive. Dans l ensemble, le complexe n est pas trop mal. Bonne literie. Le buffet est plutôt bon. Le ménage moyen. En option payante : serviette piscine, transat à la piscine collective... L unique possibilité de restauration à distance piétonne en dehors de l hôtel est une véritable arnaque...Mais vous trouverez tous commerces en quelques minutes de voiture dans le bourg de Kolympari. La vue est pas mal, mais y a mieux ailleurs, désolée. Un rapport qualité prix donc un peu élevé pour la prestation.

Hotel in buona posizione con ottimo potenziale ma io ho prenotato sulla carta un Resort di lusso a 5 stelle. Purtroppo non è all'altezza delle 5 stelle... E' un mediocre 4 stelle per i servizi che offre. Piscine voto 9, ma per esempio il bar della piscina offre poco, cocktail che non sono veri cocktail, c'è solo una fornitura di spuntini vari la mattina e stop, quando finiscono non c'è più nulla. Inoltre quando alle 18.30 pensi di andare a fare l'aperitivo in piscina... il bar chiude.. mah Il ristorante ha poca scelta ma i prodotti sono molto buoni (anche se non da 5 stelle); la sala principale è pressochè scarna (tavoli apparecchiati con tovagliette in pvc che vengono leggermente pulite tra un cliente e l'altro) struttura pulita ma non da 5 stelle. Solitamente un 5 stelle dà possibilità di avere un'alternativa al ristorante principale, anche a pagamento, ma quello è l'unico. Camere comfortevoli, pulizia giornaliera molto molto superficiale (anche qui non da 5 stelle) Finiture di tutta la struttura molto molto economiche (rubinetteria, letti, pavimenti, pareti divisorie - cartongesso poco insonorizzate - sedie e sdraio) Spiaggia inesistente o meglio non curata e bruttina con 5 (e dico 5 !) ombrelloni piazzati a caso con 4-5 sdraio mezze rotte. Inesistente il bagnino in piscina ed in spiaggia, inesistente un baby club per bambini (solo una stanza con 4 giochi abbandonata e due scivoli che di notte sono quasi al buio e di giorno sotto il sole a 40 gradi). Personale gentile

Fantastiska pooler men trist mat och dryck
Rummet och poolområdet är fantastiskt. Allt är nytt, vackert och fräscht. Städningen var bra. Stranden ligger precis bredvid hotellet. Personalen var hjälpsam och trevlig. Däremot fanns ingen bra AC i frukostmatsalen vilket gjorde att det var väldigt varmt. Dessutom är mat- och dryckservice helt anpassat efter att man har all inclusive, så om man inte har det kan det bli krångligare att äta eller dricka på restaurangerna eller i poolbaren. Al a carte restaurangen var bara öppen en dag i veckan, men det framgick inte vid incheckningen. Jag rekommenderar att man äter på restaurangerna vid stranden än på hotellet.

Personalen på hotellet var väldigt hjälpsam. Speciellt Antonia och Nikos i receptionen, heder åt dessa två Tyvärr är avståndet från rummen till reception och matsal ganska lång så för den som är lite handikappad är det långt att gå Som tur var ställde personalen upp med transport Det är annars en bra vistelse

La valutazione della struttura nel complesso è positiva anche se ci sono tante piccole cose ancora da migliorare, di seguito alcuni suggerimenti. Ad esempio migliorare la colazione a buffet per chi non mangia salato. Le macchinette che erogano caffè cappuccino latte liofilizzati non sono all’altezza. La frutta è tagliata grossolanamente messa in un frigo e poco invitante. Abbiamo chiesto di riscaldare un latte di mandorle in quanto era disponibile solo freddo e ci è stato risposto che non era possibile….da un resort non me l’aspetto così come mettere a pagamento l’utilizzo della cassaforte quando ormai tutti la includono nel prezzo.

Das Personal ist durchweg freundlich und zuvorkommend, v.a. die Rezeptionsmitarbeitenden. Die Architektur von Pools und Zimmern ist ansprechend und aufwendig gestaltet. Die Sauberkeit lässt teilweise noch zu wünschen übrig. Im Bad sieht man noch die Schuhabdrücke vom Reinigungspersonal und der Toilettenbürstenständer ist durchgerostet und läuft aus. Insgesamt ist das Hotel ein Neubau aus 2020, dem man die eher günstigere Verarbeitung und Auswahl der Materialien ansieht. Bauschutt und Rückstände aus der Bauzeit sind in der Umgebung noch zu erkennen. Das Hauptrestaurant erinnert eher an eine überdimensionierte Kantine ohne besondere Atmosphäre.
