I enjoyed my stay , good value for money and the area around is magic. The only thing they could improve is being more welcoming and enjoying explaining about the area and what to visit. I could tell they didn’t really care about it, at least for my experience. Maybe because of a language barrier.

Short Stay!
Great location, quick walk to the beach. We had a great view from our room! Breakfast was great, although not complimentary. Staff was so friendly! Not so great things: we were in the main building which is not sound proof at all. To the point where we could hear the person in the room next to us turning their lights on and off. It just so happened to be their little one who clicked it on and off over and over and over again at 6am. The bathroom was a bit different. The shower had no door/curtain and there was a drain in the middle of the bathroom for the shower water. The bathroom was also riddled with mold.

Beautiful hotel, limited location without a car.
We stayed for two weeks in a beautiful part of the island, not particularly geared for tourist as there were only two places to eat within walking distance of the hotel with children. There were other towns about 30 minutes walk, one not particularly safe walking but the owner of the hotel knows the taverna owner and they came and collected us but were too busy to return us so we walked home in the dark, not too bad as we didn't have the kids. The town the other way is a better walk, but still a 3 mile round trip, with a Taverna called BOURAKIS RESTAURANT, with beautiful food. We hired a car and this enabled us to get to explore further afield. I had read reviews about the friendly nature of the owners and the staff at the hotel, sadly we did not experience this, helpful but not usual Greek friendly. The pool was beautiful, but no pool bar or snacks/drinks available to buy, as advertised, however there is a shop in walking distances and the small fridge in the room, meant cold drinks could be available throughout the day. Hotel was very clean and finished to a high standard. Chania is only 30 minutes away and well worth a visit.

Creta Vitalis Family Holiday
We had a lovely time in Crete exploring the surrounding area, beaches and the harbour city of Chania. The hotel staff were excellent, friendly and very welcoming. The downside was that our bungalow balcony was next to a busy through road and the fridge located in the room we slept in was very noisy. The swimming pool was great and the hotel was convenient to get to local shops and the beach!

Very friendly, helpful owners and very generous. Breakfast was delicious. We shared a night cap of Raki with a nice young gentleman who works there. On our last day the owners allowed us into a room to shower after we checked out and spent the day at the beach.

Lovely place, Highly recommended!
Lovely traditional family hotel, we felt welcomed from the start and the owners are down to earth, kind and caring people. We didn't have beach towels and they gave us 2 :) Me and my boyfriend had a lovely 3 nights' time there. They have a nice pool facing the sea. Our room was sea view and really comfortable. Had a TV, air conditioning, wardrobes, a desk and a nice clean bathroom! Really pleased with the room. Breakfast was lovely and tasty! Khalatas Beach is really close and I really recommend to go there. Also, if you have a car, have a go at Stavros beach too :) They have a delivery option for food - try Taverna Irene, either takeaway or go there, they are the owners' family and they have the best greek food! Also give a try at Sunset Restaurant too :) lovely food and service.

The property is beautiful, and well kept. There are flowers everywhere, great for back drops for pictures. There is a fast walk to the beach, which is AMAZING. As we did visit other more known beaches, we stayed close to ours due to the fast walk, and nice clam waters.
