The hotel is well located with magnificent views of the sea. The pool is clean and well maintained, there is also a garden area overlooking the sea. The family who run it and the staff are friendly and helpful. They work hard to provide a relaxing place to stay, and the guests I asked were happy with the level of service provided. The room facilities are basic, but clean with air conditioning provided. The internet connection was excellent and overall I think it is a good location to stay for those who want quick access to the beach (a short stroll) and also a good selection of restaurants. However, it is not the quietest of places, with live music being performed at one of the clubs down the hill on a number of nights I stayed until late. Also beware of non inclusive breakfast, as this caught me out. There are many places to rent cars and bikes, along with a good bus service. So, all in all, a good base to explore Western Crete.
