Amazing Hotel All Staff helpful and happy Rooms clean and cleaned every day. Breakfast was very very good (Omelettes Especially)and plenty of it covering all nationalities. Large complex but transport by sea or by road always on hand. Restaurants a little expensive but to be expected as 5 star hotel. Private beach swimming pool and hot tub and pool area managed well towels provided and no hassle for sun beds . All in all we had a fantastic week and if not for missing our dogs would have stayed another Highly recommended

We've spent a full week at this hotel, came especially for the golf course and a hopefully relaxed holidays. The golf course experience was good, very decent price and challenging enough course for a teenage beginner . Relaxation has pros and cons alike. First of all I was suprised by the huge number of babies and toddlers in the resort. This made breakfast ,beach and most of the restaurants at dinner very noisy and hectic. We've been in various turkish all incluive resorts were children were 50 times more, but there we are talking about huge spaces , at least half a dozen restaurants and so on. Room was ok, service was good and consistent throughout the resort . A special mention to the beach service in the Elounda Villas area , and for Nikos , the breakfast restaurant manager. The only downside of the stay was the lack of a minimal entertainment , music was so low as non existent, the hotel bar was very unwelcoming and open only during evenings , but completely empty and the so called DJ-nights at the restaurants (Il Borro and Sumosan) were a bad joke of a so called entertainment.

This hotel has so much to offer. Almost all the staff deserve high praise for being so incredibly helpful, welcoming and friendly, from Reception and breakfast staff to the smiling cleaning ladies and junior pool/ beach staff. Nothing was too much trouble. The breakfast buffet is superb with an excellent selection of various foods , very fresh and delicious. Fantastic facilities for children with a wonderful kiddies pool and so close to the beach and stunning bay. Our Grandchildren had the best time. Our room and our Daughters room who was with her young family both came with problems. Spotlessly clean and spacious but a little tired and dated. Over the bath showers in the large bathrooms. We both moved rooms because the air conditioning wasn’t working hardly at all resulting in stiflingly hot rooms. The systems were also very noisy. Our room was next to the lift which was also noisy and kept us awake. The rooms we moved to were better, our Daughter was upgraded to a pool suite which had been refurbished and was lovely. Our new room which all have stunning sea views by the way still had very noisy air con but did at least work. Our biggest moan though was the 6.30 am scramble for sun beds. We arrived at the beach at 9am to find virtually every sun bed draped in towels with guests belongings on them. These same guests then often don’t turn up till midday or later. As we needed two parasols for three small children and four adults we decided we had to play the same game. Rising at 6am , which is far from what you want or need when on what is meant to be a relaxing holiday and costing a lot of money and when you lead very busy day to day lives. Arriving at the beach though what did we see ?, only the pool/ beach employee so so kindly bringing from his hut so many guests belongings and placing them on the sun beds. Towels, Lilos, books, beach bags full of stuff were placed on the sun beds . This we witnessed daily. This did actually spoil what could otherwise have been a perfect holiday.
