The property is beautiful and the rooms are nicely decorated. The views are stunning and the staff are also very friendly. There is plenty of parking for a car rental. Despite it being a top a hill which means you can ENJOY the beautiful sunsets and views, we always took the car into the city and parked for free along the street. I am sure the walk, if you take the short cut, is much shorter than some people have written in the reviews. I would book this place again.

The price of the breakfast is not worth what you receive, therefore i would prefer to go to a local bakery for breakfast. Also the coffee was pretty terrible, therefore i would opt for just a room without breakfast.

This hotel was the best hotel I’ve stayed at! The room was great and the views were absolutely beautiful! The receptionist and pool bar staff were also so friendly, accommodating and helpful, which made the stay even better. I didn’t want to leave this hotel and stayed a further 2 nights after this with my friend when she came to stay with me! It’s 20minutes from the town by foot, which was lovely as it felt really tranquil being at the hotel by day but easily accessible to the lively centre. Absolutely faultless, thank you for the perfect stay! I will definitely be back!

The location was ideal, in a forest, close to the city center and on a hill with amazing view! The staff was very friendly and helpful, especially Yiannis at the reception!

I did not like that we did not have access to the gym. Also, at the breakfast they would offer cold coffee but they would charge extra for that (this is not usually the case).

Lovely staff, very welcoming and friendly. Were able to help with any questions we had. Nice rooms, which were kept up by staff daily. Rooms have good air con and a good sized mini fridge which is great for storing water. Pool area is amazing, plenty of loungers for everyone, even in early July. Pool bar is great as well.

Wouldn’t say this is necessarily a bad thing but because of the location, if you choose to walk everywhere like me then on the way back to the hotel you have to go up a hill. However it’s not as bad as some as the reviews make out. There is a direct path to the hotel which is open at all hours and its only a 15 minute walk to the nearest beach. Just something to keep in mind if you have mobility issues.

The hotel was set on beautiful grounds with lots of trees. The staff was amazing, and the food was lovely, lots of choices as I am a vegetarian. The alcoholic drinks was well made, and the prices were good value for money. The hotel room was lovely and clean, with a fridge and working AC. The bathroom was very clean with shower. There was also a lovely private balcony. The views from the breakfast bar and decking area above the swimming pool were absolutely gorgeous

In the bathroom as the shower door did not extend enough to prevent spillage on the bathroom floor, hence water does spread a bit on the bathroom floor after showers. However there was a a drain hole that allowed any spillage to drain

Great location, for us, it was even better that it was on top of the hill - free training. City center is close, 15 min walking down, couple minutes more walking uphill back to the hotel. Great views, great pool, tasty breakfasts, rooms were clean, maybe not big but cozy. A small fridge was available in the room.

Problem with slamming doors noise, especially by night. We woke up many times. Doors are not very soundproofed (I think that must be upgraded), and the locking mechanism when guest are closing/slamming doors is very loud.

Varied breakfast with many fresh products, much better quality than in some 4 star hotels. Hotel room was clean and tidy. The surroundings are very calm, the free and huge parking place is a big plus. Swimming pool was always clean and warm enough, you can actually swim in it if you fancy. Staff was exremely nice and helpful.

Many amenities are only available if you pay a surcharge (billiard table, jacuzzi, etc.). Not enough storage places in the room if you stay for more than one or two nights. You can't have your breakfast outside on the terrace. (It's a pity, really.)

Great view from the restaurant area/swimming pool. Also on our balcony we saw a perfect sunset! We liked to enjoy the pool and the gym while on the hotel.

Breakfast could be better. Location is good for the view, but the way up is not very easy for all people.

The location is great, in the middle of a pine forest, aprox. 15 minutes walk from the centre (up hill!). It's really quiet and the terrace and our room had a wonderful view of the sea. The staff, especially the lady working during the day at the front desk, was really kind, polite, helpful and very knowledgeable of the area. Thank you! The breakfast offered a great variety and was really tasty. The terrace is great during the evenings to watch the sea with a nice drink. The room was very clean and comfortable.

For the light sleepers this is a frequent issue in almost all hotels: the air conditioning system of the hotel makes a humming sound, which can be disturbing during the night. The coffee could be better.

The hotel is up on the hill behind Rethymno with a lovely view of the city and slightly cooler, fresher air than down in the town, which is around a 1km walk ( less than 10 min) away. By foot it is not as bad as it seems when you arrive by car due to the road taking a different route upto the hotel. The path to the town is by the swiming pool. There is one small steep hill but otherwise not too difficult. The staff were very helpful and accommodating and the breakfast was OK.

The room was a little tight so we had to take turns to open our suitcases. When they were closed we could put one into the large wardrobe.
