Situated in a quiet part of Elounda, the hotel offers stunning views across the bay.
We had a very relaxing stay. Here’s the pros and cons.
Pro’s:
1. A small but pleasant shingle beach. Comfortable padded sun beds readily available. Very few guests reserve sunbeds, which is a nice stress-free experience.
2. There is a nice little bar on the beach, open from around 10/10:15am, serving coffee, cocktails and various alcoholic and non alcoholic options. There is also a large chiller cabinet where you can grab water, beer and soft drinks as often as you like.
3. There are grab and go lunch boxes available on the beach from 12 noon - salads and sandwiches.
4. All the staff are incredibly friendly and helpful.
5. Rooms are clean and cool.
6. The bar in the amphitheatre area is a lovely place to have sundowners. Try the Hugo cocktail!
Cons:
1. The swimming pool area is tired and the sunbeds were a bit dirty. There is paint peeling off the swimming pool floor. The pool is painted a very dark colour, making it very uninviting.
2. The dining options are not great. Breakfast is fine, with plenty of options. The buffet dinner, however, is not of a good enough standard for the resort. The Ampitheatre offered some nice Italian options, but the Greek souvlaki options were really disappointing (you can book this restaurant twice per week), and the Sushi was good at the Yellow Sea restaurant - but no starters were offered, and dessert was just one option.
