This is the first time I'm even writing a comment about an "all-inclusive" hotel because this hotel doesn't qualify to be called an all-inclusive hotel. It's my second day at this hotel, and I already felt the need to write a comment so people know about this so-called "all-inclusive" hotel.

I am a well-traveled person and have experienced many different fantastic all-inclusive hotels from various countries, but this hotel is not all-inclusive.

The alcoholic drinks included in the hotel's "all-inclusive" package contain everything except alcohol. They're just sugary drinks that you end up paying a lot for. When you're on vacation, you want to be able to drink something with alcohol in it.

This is the first all-inclusive hotel I've paid for that does NOT offer Aperol Spritz or Mojito in the all-inclusive package. It's really bad.

The hotel doesn't even pay for Spotify/YouTube Music, so you have to listen to all the ads that come between each song.

The hotel doesn't provide guests with water bottles, except for one large water bottle upon arrival. Additional water refills are in paper cups, which is positive for the environment, but the water you get tastes like anything but water. The hotel exploits this because they don't care. Or you can buy a water bottle with clean water in the market for 1.80 euros, and remember, you're paying all-inclusive to have to pay for water.

The hotel should consider non-smoking guests and create a designated smoking area because, as it is now, people smoke everywhere, even on the beach.

The all-inclusive food is okay.

Not worth anything - you can find a much better hotel than this one!

there where a lot of ants in my room and also there wasnt much to do. There is one pool wich gets boring fast and it was out of order the last few days. the cours where fine but thes gave us broken rackets.After 2 days it got repetetive. Overall not much to do.

boring…

🏨Hotel
It is a very nice facility with great food and direct access to the pebble beach.
I rate the hotel as elegant there is a relaxed and informal atmosphere without unnecessary excess, and at the appropriate high level of culture, this place is visited mainly by guests from Poland, the Czech Republic, France, and Sweden.
The hotel's staff tries hard and is very helpful. It is easy to communicate in English. Check-in begins at 3 p.m. and ends at 11 a.m. There is no special luggage room. Luggage can be left in a separate part of the lobby where someone from the hotel's front desk looks on (it's a bit disconcerting, but everything was OK).
The property is friendly to families with children. However, Animations are run by representatives of your travel agency, not hotel staff. Unfortunately, there is a lack of animation and attractions for adults (only once a week there are evening activities organized by the hotel - traditional Greek live music along with dancing).
The food is excellent, but during windy days (and they happen often) there is a lack of space in the dining room inside the building.
My room was in the renovated part of the facility, these rooms are cleaned daily and there is a daily change of towels, in the rooms.
The hotel has two pools of its own. One is for small children with small slides, and the other is a large one in the central part (it has a shallow and deep part).
This is a really good place to relax on a trip with the family.

🏖️Beach 
The beach is accessible directly from the hotel, at the entrance there is a hotel bar with snacks and drinks (available free of charge in an all-inclusive stay). On the beach, the hotel provides guests with free sun loungers in umbrellas, the staff looks after this part and ensures cleanliness.
The beach is pebbled, and the sand at the bottom of the Sea appears only at about 2-3 meters deep.
During my stay on the beach, there was no lifeguard - you could freely swim and snorkel. However, parents should watch the children on the beach in the water themselves.

🗺️ Surroundings:
The combination of mountain and sea views looks amazing. Naturally, it is a very nice place. 
About 10 minutes walk away is a souvenir store and a pharmacy. Outside the hotel, unfortunately, the streets are not very clean, the wind spreads garbage, and the buildings are often unfinished or abandoned, this is unfortunately on the downside, this fact, however, does not directly affect the hotel itself.
Near the hotel, there is a gas station⛽️.

📸 Attractions:
Not far from the hotel starts Safari Fun, a 4x4 car tour on the eastern part of the island, highly recommended!
Note that visiting the main attractions of Crete (Knossos Palace and attractions near Heraklion) involves a commute of about 2 hours one way (we are in the southeast of the island).

💡What is worth remembering?
This is an island where the wind blows, it is often very strong, it is worth remembering this in order not to feel disappointed on the spot. It is necessary to mention that Greece is a country where you can smoke in public places and unfortunately, people smoke. In bars, on the beach, by the pools - only the interiors of the hotel buildings have a ban on smoking.
In Crete live cicadas - insects harmless to people, but very noisy. You can get used to it, and with the windows closed you can not hear them inside the buildings.

🥇My subjective rating 4.8 / 5.0

Beautiful Views, Relaxation and Great Food

After returning from a week-long vacation, I can say that my stay at this hotel definitely exceeded my expectations – this place is wonderful. 
The hotel is located in a quiet area, which is a big advantage, allowing for relaxation, and you can explore the surroundings by renting a car. The room was nice, cleaned daily, and the sea view was amazing. 
The positives are endless – delicious and varied food (everyone will find something they like), direct access to the beach with sun loungers, a great pool (beautifully lightning at night), free tennis court, a rich animation program, and tasty drinks. 
However, the biggest advantage of the hotel is the staff – the friendly ladies at the reception, the housekeeping staff, the bellboys, and the bartenders. But special thanks go to Nikos – he is very professional and everything in the restaurant was perfect, his warmth made spending time there an absolute pleasure. Thanks also go to the wonderful waiters – for every smile, kind word, and help in every situation. 
The only thing that could be improved is the number of sun loungers by the pool, as they are often all reserved after breakfast. 

I consider my vacation at this hotel to be one of the best in my life, and I will definitely return – see you maybe even next year!

Quiet area, beautiful views, delicious food, wonderful staff - I will definitely visit this hotel again.

We stayed here with our baby and felt really welcome. The staff is quick to accommodate if you need anything and even made the baby bed every day. The buffet has a high quality and good variation of food. The beach and beach bar is only a few steps down from the hotel which also is very nice.

Friendly staff and great food!
