We stayed for one week at the start of June and had the best time. To begin, the best thing about this hotel is the staff. It is a family run hotel and they make you feel like that too. All of the staff take an interest in you and chat to you. We played quite a few games of UNO with Ava! They all work incredibly hard all day, especially Ava and Nick. They were incredibly hospitable and want to ensure you are having a good time. They’ll give you plenty of recommendations, help you book taxis, etc. They’re also great fun to drink with - we had a few late nights around that bar! I cannot fault the staff at all and cannot wait to go back. Additionally, we got a free upgrade to an apartment which meant we had a large living area and kitchenette. The bed was HUGE and the dressing table with a light above and hairdryer next to it was perfect for getting ready. Lots of storage in the room and in the kitchen too. The bed was super comfy and you had lots of options for layers and pillows. The aircon was perfect, and I run very hot so it was a welcome relief that the room got so cold so quick, but it was also easily controllable so the room wasn’t too cold at night. The water pressure was also great. Rooms cleaned well and daily. Not the fanciest room in the world, but homely, clean and comfortable - perfect for a summer holiday. The pool (thanks to Nick!) is immaculate and sparkling blue. All of the grounds are beautiful with lots of lovely plants and flowers. Lots of sunbeds and never a fight to get one. Great options for the shade or sun and lots of umbrellas. The bar is also fantastic. Well stocked and they will get in specifics if that’s what you want. I don’t drink dairy and they made me a yummy frappe each day without milk and let me experiment with the sweetness level - same for my partner but with milk! Cocktails are gorgeous too, I recommend a mango frozen marg! They got to know our evening order straight away and kept us topped up - with lots of raki too! Lovely respite from the sun under the umbrellas at the bar. It doesn’t get too busy but is a great atmosphere in the evening. The food is also brilliant. We sampled lots from the souvlaki to the salads. Our favourites were the Futura Burger and the gyros at lunch! Not expensive either. We didn’t have breakfast as we aren’t breakfast people but we heard great things. The location is also ideal. Less than 5 minutes to a big supermarket, the same for some cafes, and about 10-15 to the coast where there are more restaurants and bars along the coast (such as The Wave and Mythos Bar). We had the best lamb of the holiday in The Passing which is en route to the beach front. We didn’t want the hustle and bustle of the main resort areas such as Chania, so this was an ideal location to be set back from the madness whilst having an atmosphere. Equally, it’s a great location to explore Crete from due to the bus stop right outside and availability of taxis. We did a brewery tour about a 15 minute d
