“Low-rise garden resort with immaculate seaside grounds. Rooms with floaty linen curtains have excellent sea views from their large glass windows. Suites and private villas have personal pools. A good selection of bars and restaurants. Explore the surrounding islands or simply lie back and relax.”

Hotel Review

Sea views from a lovely infinity pool, villas with private pools, a minuscule semi-private beach and lushly landscaped grounds full of palms and pines combine to make this medium-sized hotel very appealing. One of the first wave of luxury hotels on Crete, its public areas have a definite retro 1960s feel, with huge picture windows and plenty of polished terracotta floor tiles and exposed stonework, themes that are carried through into the cool, bright and airy rooms and suites.
