We stayed here from 6th to 14th of August. And it was absolutely amazing. I read some of the reviews before booking and I was concerned, nearly didnt book, but we got a good deal, so I chanced it, and my goodness, so glad we did. We arrived at 9pm, and the guy on reception took our cases and showed us to the restaurant, even at that late hour, the food was well stocked and extremly clean and loads of choice. A porter took our cases up the room, now, the room is my only slight gripe..... its quite small for 3 peeps, and the whole room was furnished like a built 70s TV stand, if you know what I mean, it was dusty, and obviously had not been cleaned, and only 2 cups, 2 glasses and 2 chairs on the balcony but the beds were fresh and really we didn't mind at that time of night. They also left a welcome bottle of wine. The Air con was cold and the view was lovely. The next morning I cleaned the room and unpacked all was good. Plenty of wardrobe space and cupboards for the 3 of us. We weren't intending to spend hours in the room so we just enjoyed it for what it was. The main pool is incredible, wooden sunloungers with cushions and parasols line the pool, usual get up early to reserve, but thats normal. Kids pool with slides and another medium sized pool which our little one liked. The atmosphere was great. The entertainment team were friendly and not over the top, the spa girls that someone mentioned as being pushy just wandered past saying hi, and chatted if you wanted too. The official photographer Alexa was lovely, we didnt buy any photos, but we chatted a few times. Special shout out to the pool exercise team, again we didnt join in, but the energy was admired from the sun lounger! Benjamin in Entertainment was lovely, always a friendly word to say when he passed. The lunch , snacks, ice cream bar, and drinks were amazingly clean, well stocked, fresh fruit available all day, pizza mid afternoon, slushy machine a particular favourite of our 8 year old! We would spend the days by the pool, and after dinner, mini disco and entertainment then walk down to the private beach with cocktails in the evening. Amazing. We sampled the restaurants included in the all inclusive, and again, lovely service. Reception recommended the open top bus to Heraklion, which was a fab day out, and we also hired a car from the guys within the resort, Sunhire, they could not of been more lovely. Security were lovely so was the little dog that lived there! They also supply you with a courtesy room the day you leave, to shower and get changed etc. Which we thought was a nice touch. If you want a zero stress, safe hotel, with as much food and drink this is the place for you. Would go again without hesitation. Gripes, because nowhere is perfect: although housekeeping changed the beds and towels etc the room was minging, not swept all week, last persons dirty glasses, etc. Not ideal! Standard bungalow- very chronic furniture. All built in, no space to swing a cat. The ladies in the dining room get very stressed and really dont mind shouting at you!! I think they were doing a good job though. Proper Cons: no need to take beach towels, they are provided and abundant. Food was amazing Drinks were amazing Amazing atmosphere
