This is such a brilliant hotel for young families. It’s a really beautiful place with some lovely restaurants, bars & some cute additions like the gelateria & the little on-site kafenio. The staff are brilliant with kids and they’ve thought of everything you need. Malia isn’t the prettiest area, but parts of the Old Town are charming with some lovely, great value restaurants. My only criticism of this hotel how expensive the restaurant are. We chose not to go half board or all-included but I wish we had – I think it would’ve been much better value overall!

We had a lovely stay with our 2 year old. The property is well kept and staff is excellent. Enough dinner options (included in halfboard is the buffet or a discount in the other restaurants). Pool was great and it felt like a small village. Perfect for a relaxing holiday. The resort is a little outside of the village and we rented a car for a few days to explore part of the island.

Well kept and lovely decor. Nice beach setup. Very big and more suited to families. Don’t think we have ever seen more babies, didn’t bother us but be prepared for a lot of baby strollers. Only disappointment was food. Breakfast buffet is excellent but dinner is at best mediocre. Problem is the restaurants cater to all inclusive guests and a la carte, which in this case meant ok service and disappointing food. Also Malia, the nearby town, is strictly bars and nightclubs, zero charm. Agios Nikalos 30 minutes away much nicer.

Relaxing and comfortable family holiday.

Very comfortable stay, friendly staff, good breakfast, nice pools. Good place to stay for a relaxing family holiday. One minor downside is the beach, which is not the best around for accessibility to the water for kids. But largely made up for by the rest of the experience. Would recommend.

Lovely hotel, main pool quite busy but the private beach was amazing with great beach bar and chilled music. We avoided the buffet and had incredible food at both the Cretan restaurant for breakfast and dinner and the Italian for dinner. Charming staff, just needs a minor rethink in bathroom as shower was narrow due to placement of soap holder. Overall a fantastic experience and would highly recommend and return

Rocky Beach with broken umbrellas and dirty loungers, tiny gym with broken equipment (you have to book timeslots to secure a space) only limited timeslots available for restaurant reservation. Claustrophobic layout (with beautiful design elements. Food was good and staff friendly but we had to leave early because we found it impossible to relax and the place to crowded. Not your typical design hotel.

Amazing hotel but they need a sunbed policy..

Amazing stay.. amazing hotel.. amazing beach, bar and restaurants..the only major problem is to find a sunbed at the pool or beach as SO many guests gets up very early in the morning to block sunbeds they might want to use later in the day.. the lack of hotel policy and total lack of actions to prevent this will prevent me from booking this hotel again..

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Very nice garden and property, large swimming pools, and sunbeds available for all. Rooms are comfortable and nicely designed. The main buffet-restaurant has no charms and feels like a sort of high end canteen... The other restaurants (Mezze, Almyra) are nicer. The beach was a big disappointment, with lots of rocks in the water. We had very windy and wavy days, and it was simply impossible to get in the water on the main beach... The hotel is isolated from Malia. Not much to do around without a car.
