I enjoyed my stay at the hotel overall. The location was fantastic, with easy access to the beach and close proximity to Chania town. The rooms were not completely soundproof and the standard didn't quite meet a 5-star rating, but we managed to switch to a room with a private pool that was lovely until early afternoon, allowing us to take full advantage of the lounge once our child was asleep.
