Firstly there are alot of steps down to the hotel so if you have big suitcases it’s a bit of a pain. Considering the  room was booked a year ago , when we arrived at the Hotel, our room was not ready so had to stay in a suite which was lovely but a bit of a trek when we had big suitcases. We then we had to change accommodation again a couple of days later because the suite  was not available and we then had the dreaded trek back to the reception with all our luggage with no assistance. 

THERE IS NO LIFT which it states on their website . This would have made our lives a lot easier than having to carry our luggage up all the stairs the Hotel has . 

Unless you go to breakfast really early there are not enough tables so afew times we had to go and eat out for breakfast which again wasn’t a problem but something we had paid for when we went bed and breakfast.

There is not alot to do in area and would suggest only a week as 2 weeks is way too long . 

To get to the main strip is about a 20 min walk .

The hotel was clean and to be honest we  did not really see any members of staff to ask for any information .

Would we stay here again ?? Definitely not !!

Not the dream holiday we expected , pleasant enough but would not stay in this part of Crete again .

The room was the best thing about our 15 night stay it was cleaned regularly and it was comfortable,other aspects of the hotel were not as advertised in the brochure. 
There's no pool bar open which has not been in use for a long time,It also states that the beach is 100m from the property which it is if you jump off the cliff down to it .
The 1km walk into town with it's ups and downs well , the thought of having to walk back after a meal a taxi was the only answer at 7 euros a time.
There are 14 sunbeds with 5 parasols which was not enough to go round. I really don't want to complain about the place but there's no mini market which is also advertised so unless you paid double for water at the bar you would have to walk!
The staff in some cases were blunt and not  attentive in any way,for instance three staff could not make a coffee because one of them were tidying the cushions in the bar , i could go on but iam having a lovely time 😆

Corky's night  mare

First the good, the rooms are beautiful. Huge comfy beds and a great sea view
 Shower /wet room was amazing. Always plenty of hot water. The cleaners came every day except Sunday which is more than brilliant
 Now the not so good.
The pool area is OK but they are advertising a pool bar that has clearly never been open for years, which would be OK if you could get drinks and bring them over from yammas ( Hotel bar/restaurant) but we were told this is not possible.
The breakfast room never had enough tables and we always felt pressured to move straight away as people were waiting to sit and it 'wasn't allowed ' to take a second.coffee to your room or even sit over in yammas to eat or drink a coffee.
Yammas , the food was OK but overpriced and we always felt that we were just tolerated in there, no real chat or friendliness. We didn't find this in other restaurants or bars in agia pelagia, in fact it was the total.opposite as you can see from my other reviews
The beach is a climb down a steep slope but worth the walk, be aware there are a LOT of hills everywhere
I am sad that I can't give full marks as the hotel is beautiful in honesty , the cleaner got them to a 3 ! It is a beautiful area and I put the issues down to it just not being for us 

Good amd bad 

A good hotel overall, front of house can be a little "funny" sometimes but overall I would recommend this hotel.
It's a nice quiet location close to a lovely little beach which is separate from the hotel. Down a hill (as the hotel is situated on a cliff) but its not a bad wonder down regardless of other reviews.
Nicely located only a 10mins walk from Agia Pelagia
Breakfast is good, nice continental plenty of choice and the breakfast staff are very welcoming.
Pool is small but with the beach so close its not really an issue tbh.
Amazing views from a sea room!

Overall a good hotel

Imagine having the most magical wedding where everything goes perfect to then spending your honeymoon in hell. Yes the room was lovely if you remember your walking boots as it's a hike from the hotel to anywhere with friendly people. Don't bother attending if you aren't the finest all inclusive couple with all the money you could ever wish for. Night one we attended the resteraunt attached to the hotel as part of our half board package. Rattatloulie ? Or the scrapings out of the pan they had left over from the bottom of the pan. School gives you great preparation for deciding on what you want to eat for the entire week as god forbid you actually want to adult and decide what you want to eat on the day. Reflex skills are needed as they like to just launch menus and receipts at you with no warning or no eye contact. Yes the rooms were clean and the maids very polite. We witnessed several disagreements over breakfast were the staff didn't want people sitting down and relaxing. If you have no other choice book here however 
Go out for a meal on a night there are several restaurants with nice Greek staff who don't treat you like dirt. Kaniski near the bay he's a lovely man and clearly knows how to make the best food for bargain prices. 
Avoid the hotel at all costs if you want breakfast get a table first otherwise it's not worth the hassle
Don't use the private cove the sunbeds are way more expensive 
Hiking boots remember hiking boots!!! 


Not a place for a honeymoon or a holiday in general

This comfortable hotel is situated in Aghia Pelagia. The 60 welcoming rooms offer a perfect place to relax at the end of the day. Undergone a full renovation the past two years this hotel offers ergonomic double rooms, Suites and Master Suites and a specious residence with two separate bedrooms. This hotel is suitable only for adults. Pets are not allowed at this property. Guest in our hotel can enjoy our a la carte restaurant, two bars and a swimming pool.
