This was our First trip to Crete, this resort was on the quite side, so if you looking to unwind and relax , this is the place. The meals were pretty good and the desserts amazing. The staff were pretty friendly although I find the bar staff at the pool could be a bit more friendlier.

great location for driving to western beaches.
This is a medium size hotel on a rocky strip of beach in a small beach town. Nice atmosphere but if crowded there is not much space between rooms, chairs on the patio or beach. Pools spaced throughout property is a nice touch. Best part was the location- good driving distance to many great western beaches. Food is okay. Servers working hard during trying times. Several restaurants nearby but not all opened back up after Covid. 3.5 stars. 4 for location.

Adults Only hotel right on the beach.
We had a ten night stay which was extremely relaxing and quiet. The hotel was excellently placed with a 20 second walk to the beach. The staff were very polite, helpful and efficient. Some of the rooms were allocated lie out beds next to a pool otherwise it was first come first served. The lie outs on the beach were rented out at 2.50 euros per day. We left feeling calm and relaxed with a healthy tan thrown in.

This hotel is a lovely place to spend time and has bus pick ups outside which the local tour operators come to directly so you can survive without a car. Everyone was friendly and the week passed by seemingly too quickly.

Awful hotel and management
Awful hotel and management. I have sent the hotel management 2 emails about the issues we encountered during our stay and they do not even bother to reply. Our main issue was we booked and paid in advance for a Beachfront Junior Suite with Sharing Pool but were given a small dark room at the back of the hotel. We were told that there were already guests in the Beachfront room we had booked and that we had to take the other room. The hotel staff were quite rude about it even though they admitted that it was the hotel's fault (although the reason for the mistake kept changing so we were not being told the truth). After I called Hotels.com for help the hotel "found" another available room for us which was bigger but still located at the back of the hotel and it also had no sea view. The hotel manager told us several times that we would receive a refund for the room mistake which was clearly a lie as the hotel has not given us any refund to this date and they do not answer my emails. This hotel has the worst customer service that I have encountered in many years.

The hotel itself is really a 3 star rather than a 4. The staff are excellent and could not be more accomadating. The breakfast buffet is awful. Basic and bland just like the rooms. The location of the hotel was great being near the Habour which has nice restaurants.

We were 4 couples and stayed 3 nights at the hotel. On our check-in, we were welcomed by Alex and the staff and we must say that Alex was very kind and warm and gave us the best service everrr!!! The hotel was on the beach, surrounded by great restaurants in peacefull nighburhood. The hotel's main pool and the shared pool are infinity pools, magnificent view, delicious breakfast and freindly staff. Thank you for great vacation, Alex you are the best!

Fantastic resort in a very peaceful Environment
The resort is about 30min drive from Chania main town or 20min from Platanias (party place). 45min taxi from airport. If you are looking for a chill stay away from all the main crowd this place is for you. Waking up each morning to the sound of the waves and direct access to pool and beach was such a nice relaxing experience. The staff was very helpful upon arrival (7am) and offered us free breakfast and guided us to chill and wait by the pool while the room was getting ready. It's not a party hotel to meet people, the age of guests are most around 60+.

Promised so much, delivered so little
I think the full season started the week after we arrived. Not being totally negative- ,the staff were friendly & helpful,the housekeeping first class with fresh linen every day. .. but it's a bit like trying to hold superbowl in a playpark. the Hotel was just not 4star. No armbands for all-inclusive but then asked our room number everytime. No organisation for-- mealtime seating, where to swim, where the gym or spa were .The free Wifi dropped out every 5 minutes. the swimming pools not heated Outside walkways just wooden slats, some rotten & muddy. There was also dogs in the area, & spoiled the beach a little with their mess. The food plentiful if you like processed but not good Greek food. Little variety and either bland or totally overspiced.... and the first time ever I've seen duck including the entire webbed foot! Again, for a 4 star hotel a little more effort. The soft boiled eggs at breakfast were good though. Lots of local drinks. Very good strong cocktails but the beer and the soft drinks all had a chemical taste that was unpleasant and the local bottled wine tasted corked. There were items totally out of the Hotels control, the beach and surrounding area very run down and scruffy. The bus service to Chania, reported as every 30 minutes from outside the hotel was a 15 minute hike to the far end of town and then up to an hours wait, if you're lucky and the bus is not full. The trip to Chania, however, around 60 minutes, is well worth the journey.

Lovely quiet relaxing holiday
Had a wonderful stay at this hotel. We had a junior suite on the ground floor with direct access to the pool. The room was very spacious , clean and comfortable. When we arrived we had a complimentary bottle of wine and a fruit bowl in our room. Directly outside our room was a balcony with table and chairs with stairs leading down to the edge of the pool. We had our own sunbeds so there was no need to rush down early to get a sunbed. At the end of the pool there is a bar that you can swim up to and the sea is just on the other side of the pool so while you lie by the pool you can hear the waves crashing on the beach. The beach is pebbly but there are sunbeds if you want to lay there. There is very little to do in the immediate area but if you are looking for a quiet relaxing holiday this is a lovely hotel to go to. There is a monastery that you can visit and a handful of shops so if the weather isn't great and you can't really sunbathe then you may need to travel a little further to find other things to do. The meals were lovely with lots of choice. We were all inclusive and you can have beer, wine, local spirits, cocktails and soft drinks. The staff were really friendly and helpful and we had a really lovely time.

Great low-key break
Stayed here for 5 nights on a short break. Booked a junior suite with shared pool, and the room was great. Comfy bed, a patio with sun loungers overlooking the pool and beach. The all inclusive buffet was better than I was expecting and the staff were friendly and helpful. There isn't much else going on in Kolymvari so if you want night life etc perhaps better try somewhere else. But if you're after a relaxing break then this offers great value and a nice, small hotel atmosphere.

Clean hotel with friendly, helpful staff
Overall this hotel was more than adequate. We spent very little time there - checked in after midnight, spent the entire next day off prem at Elafonisi, and checked out super early the next morning - so can't really comment too much on stuff to do at the resort. Bed was comfy, and the room was clean. The staff was really cool and had kept some food ready for us the night we showed up late and prepared a breakfast for us the morning we had to leave early. The weather was really windy, and so the bay/beach outside the hotel was really rough, not really swim-able. not sure if it's like this the whole year, but aside from the bay it was an hour by bus minimum to the next beach. Just FYI in case you're traveling to Crete for beaches. Also the neighborhood outside the resort was a little run down. If you go, definitely hit Elafonisi; I have never seen water that clear. It was literally like a swimming pool.
