The hotel is more like 3* hotel, but had everyhting we needed for a relaxing Cretan holiday! The staff is very friendly and ready to help if needed, the place is clean, the beds comfortable enough (even with back issues), all-inclusive had a decent variety of different foods, pool is great and there are plenty of sunbeds available throughout the day, the overall athmosphere is really laidback and peaceful which we enjoyed, and the location on a hill means both a quite sweaty walk uphill from the stores, restaurants and beach, but also excellent views! You can see all the way to Rethymno and the sunsets here are breathtaking! We had one of the upper balconies but you can also see the gorgeous view from the bar deck and the restaurant terrace! Taxi to Rethymno was 14e, but there is also a cheap bus option if you walk to the ”main street”. We rented a car through the hotel, is was also pretty cheap and they delivered the car to the hotel and back, there is a free parking area. You can ask the reception for a beach recommendation, they will give you information on the free sunbeds available at a beach close by. Few things to improve would be the gym and its equipment. It seemed to be in the development still, with only two gym machines. Some weights and a couple gym mats would already go long way. Also, the A/C in the rooms is okay, you can sleep etc, but has to be on all the times you are in the room, so it doesn’t cool the room too efficiently. Te bathroom gets quite wet after a shower, somekind of a tool to help the water get to the drains would be useful. But these were just small things, the overall experience was great and relaxing, we had read all these bad reviews beforehand but were very positively surprised, we enjoyed our holiday a lot and would even consider coming back!
