Comfortable hotel, lovely swimming pool, nice outdoor area to sit and have a drink or eat your food. Dining room was a bit dreary, a bit like a school canteen. On the whole the food was ok, the Greek Salads were lovely though as were the trays of baklava that were sometimes part of the dessert choices, otherwise it was the usual jellies and instant whip and fresh fruit. It was a bit off putting to see people rooting through bunches of grapes and bread rolls with their hands even though tongs were provided, I guess this can happen anywhere. Room itself was very comfortable and because we were on the ground floor right beside the pool we are able to pick up the WIFI perfectly. WIFI is only available in reception and poolside. I was very thankful for this as the only British tv channel available was a rolling BBC news channel. Lots of German channels were available as the majority of guests in this resort are German, I think were the only Brits there bar one family. The bed was extremely comfortable I have to say. Location is great surrounded by gift shops, bars and eateries and the lovely sandy beach was just over the road. There's a good bus service into Rethymnon - which is well worth a visit. The all inclusive drinks were very limited, a choice of white wine, rose or beer, thankfully all drinkable- a little more choice would've been nice though. You could pay for different drinks but the bar wasn't permanently manned so if you wanted something different you'd have to seek out a member of staff and pay, a bit of a pain. Afternoon snacks weren't great - rather dry looking mini croissants or sausage rolls, the slices of cake and ice creams were ok the coffee and tea was decent too. There is no entertainment in this hotel which would've been nice but I knew this before we booked. Pool table wasn't free, air con in the room was 5 Euros a day but we needed it so we paid for it. Lots of people were playing UNO including us! I had a lovely relaxing week in this hotel, thankfully it was lovely and sunny every day. We had a good value break and whilst I'm not complaining about this hotel as it was clean and comfortable it was a little impersonal. If I were to return to Crete which I hope to, I'd probably pay a bit more and chose a hotel with a little more going on.
