I got a last minute cheap flight and chose to stay here, I wasn't really expecting too much but it was excellent. I was upgraded to a 2 bedroom apartment with 2 balconies with lovely views to the mountains and sea. The owner, Costas, is very friendly and often gives you fruit etc., and is always ready for a chat. The apartments are spacious, clean, simple Greek style, maybe slightly dated but everything works OK. The bed was comfortable, and the only downside that I can see is that there is no air-con, which might be a problem particularly in July and August. There is a small pool with plenty of very comfortable loungers. I'd certainly return here, a real bargain for what I paid.

Great little find, Kostas and Georgia were superb hosts, brought us fruit everyday that Kostas grows onsite. Rooms cleaned every other day with fresh towels too, the grounds always clean and tidy. We had a problem with the hob so Kostas bought up to us a electric ring and even started cooking us our meal, he supplied us with some of his lovely olive oil. The only negative and not Georgia or Kostas fault was the music in the afternoon from Star beach the bass was too much and spoilt the tranquility. Will definitely return

This hotel is ideal for people who like an easy-going holiday in a friendly traditional atmosphere. Everything was clean and towels and bedding changed every few days. If you like to explore the area on your own, then Kostas will help all he can. The hotel is well situated for the decent local bus service, taxis and a 20 minute stroll into the town. Beaches of all types within walking reach, or plenty others a short bus or taxi ride away. Plenty of tours to places like Spinalonga or Chrissi islands. Things to do for teens in the area include go-kart track and water park and lots of other things such as para-gliding. Views from the upper rooms of the mountains on one side and the sea on the other is a morning experience to be envied. The hotel is not suitable for small children as the pool goes up to 2.25 metres and you can dive into it. There are also old style crazy paved steps up to some of the rooms, so you would need to be mobile. The rooms are fairly basic but plenty of storage and easy to live in. Best enjoyed in early or late season when the teperatures are probably around 30 degrees. Give me this any day rather than mega-sunbed hotels where you are far removed from the real Crete experience.
