Very clean, with a lot of nice and good quality amenities and kitchen well equipped. Perfect for a family with kids, as you can also cook, warm the water for the milk and most of all eat in peace and quite at the restaurant of the hotel, which has a nice playground, in shade, close to the tables and viewing the sea.
Nice touch to delight our stay was also the welcome prosseco and nespresso coffee capsules.
What I also loved was the type of bed and mattress, which was great for our toddler, as we could simply put it on the floor, near our beds, thus avoiding falling down from a bed or sleeping with the adults and receiving the usual legs and hands in the face :)
Location was also perfect: great family restaurants in the near, activities for kids also less than 1km away (trampoline, carts and mini-golf club + the "turtle bike ride" to a village/area near by) .
Also the WiFi connection was great, I had two work a day and vpn and the video calls worked perfectly.
Negative:
The sea in the area of Platanias is not super child friendly but maybe were just unlucky with some very windy days. The pool did look amazing and perfect for kids.

- Central
- Sea was near
- Hot temperature.
- Crete, I expected more from Crete. Many tourists and especially Finns like that, but there was nothing original.
- Of course there was beautiful, but maybe I am too old that touristy places.
Negative:
- Hot temperature.
- Crete, I expected more from Crete. Many tourists and especially Finns like that, but there was nothing original.
- Pool was good, but sun beds were all the time reserved, even there were not that many people in pool. People reserve these sun beds and go to the other place, not nice at all.
Summary: Sea holiday

Breakfast and food options were very good (as opposed to exceptional)!
Summary: Fantastic stay, brilliant location and super helpful staff.
