Darius, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We had a lovely stay with our 2 year old. The property is well kept and staff is excellent. Enough dinner options (included in halfboard is the buffet or a discount in the other restaurants). Pool was great and it felt like a small village. Perfect for a relaxing holiday. The resort is a little outside of the village and we rented a car for a few days to explore part of the island.
Amy, 10-night trip

Beautiful hotel, great food and location just by the beach. If you’re traveling with children, it’s a great place to stay.

Great place. Lots of kids.

Great location, Amazing building, food and service. Maybe toooo child friendly for such an amazing place. Most areas are littered with Toddlers running around or making noise.
Kevin, 7-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very family friendly, comfortable hotel

Lovely resort, incredibly family friendly. Kids club is great if child is over 3 years old. Very relaxing stay, only downside is beach is quite rocky compared to others visited in Crete, but you can always use the pool.
5-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Lovely hotel, main pool quite busy but the private beach was amazing with great beach bar and chilled music. We avoided the buffet and had incredible food at both the Cretan restaurant for breakfast and dinner and the Italian for dinner. Charming staff, just needs a minor rethink in bathroom as shower was narrow due to placement of soap holder. Overall a fantastic experience and would highly recommend and return
Stephen, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Relaxing and comfortable family holiday.

Very comfortable stay, friendly staff, good breakfast, nice pools. Good place to stay for a relaxing family holiday. One minor downside is the beach, which is not the best around for accessibility to the water for kids. But largely made up for by the rest of the experience. Would recommend.
Erik, 8-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We really enjoyed our stay here! The facility is beautiful and offers many things to do. We didn't need to leave the resort at any time to do something else. Staff was mostly very sweet and friendly. Defenitely recommend or will come back someday :)
Claudia, 5-night trip

Great hotel.

We had three different room types. Best was beach villa. Fantastic personnel at beach bar! Great breakfast! Only issue was all the rocks in water. Hurt my foot badly.
Jan, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Wonderfull. Very beautiful resort. Nice restaurants with decent prises. One widget though: They could improve the teenage program and the gym could be bigger. All in all a really great hotel. We will definitely return.

We’ll come again!

We had an absolutely great time at the hotel, the staff was very welcoming and the hotel facilities perfect, offering everyone the right alternative: with kids at the pool, quiet at the river pool or with some good chill out music by the beach - we’ll come again!

Well organized staff very gentle creating a wonderful relationship with the guests. Always someone nearby waiting to delight and fulfill your expectations. Wonderful meals.
André Karl, 9-night trip

2/10 Poor

Rocky Beach with broken umbrellas and dirty loungers, tiny gym with broken equipment (you have to book timeslots to secure a space) only limited timeslots available for restaurant reservation. Claustrophobic layout (with beautiful design elements. Food was good and staff friendly but we had to leave early because we found it impossible to relax and the place to crowded. Not your typical design hotel.
Valeria, 6-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great stay in Melia again

Nice hotel with all facilities. Breakfast and dinner have very big selection in the buffet. Restaurant is above average. Rooms are small and starting to show wear.
BENEDICT-J-S, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We had a brilliant stay - The facilities are lovely and you couldn't wish for a whole lot more when trying to relax with a young family. Only negative was that we could hear our neighbours through the walls, which wasn't ideal as we both had v small children.
