Not as expected..
I would not recommend this hotel it looked nothing like the pictures… also I would not recommend this side of the island if you want to go to nice beaches because all the nice beaches are on the south side. I paid for a partial sea side suite and got a standard room and would and also kept implying that I ordered over Expedia. They also could not refund me because I booked and paid for the hotel over booking so I basically paid for a hotel for 10 days that I didnt even stay in and also had to pay a tourist tax. This was the worst trip to Greece I have ever been on. Try the south side of the island.

Dear Guest, Thank you for sharing your experience regarding your stay with us, since it provides us a valuable insight that helps to improve our service and performance. However, since some of the statements are misleading we would like to make clear that all the photos and the descriptions match the room types offered. In your reservation, as Reception showed you, a Standard room was reserved and not a Standard Side Sea view as you mention. Both parties contacted Expedia and Expedia reconfirmed that the reservation is for a Standard Room, which was the room type that you were allocated in. As far as the tax is concerned , the charge by law, since 2017, is per room per night depending on the reserved nights. Your choice of spending some days of your stay in South Crete cannot change the value of the tax of your reservation. In addition, the location of the hotel is specific and when choosing the hotel it is mentioned that the hotel is located at the center of Hersonissos which is on the north coast of Crete. The fact that you prefer the south coast of Crete implies that a better research regarding the location of the hotel and the area could have prevented any possible misunderstandings or mistakes regarding your booking. It is really unfortunate to receive a review that in fact has nothing to do with our services and your stay here and it is really unfortunate as well that we didn't reach your expectations as it a top priority for the management and the staff to have satisfied guests.

Property is well located, but parking is a bit of an issue. Free WiFi, but difficult to stay connected to. Staff was very kind! But the rooms are not well insulated, so if you have a city view room, you will hear everything going on outside.

Not 4 Star
Arrived and room we were allocated was the worst room ever (room 001) partial sea. view not as we did not even have a balcony, the room had a very small window and the only main door was access straight onto a main road. We were allocated another room to my satisfaction next day with no problems. The breakfast is not up to much so a little disappointed with this. You have to pay for your sun beds at the very small cramped patch of beach allocated, we used a pool bar further along from our hotel which had free sun beds and was peaceful. Had a very enjoyable holiday overall.

Hotel is on the beach and so has no pool.
Our room was plain but comfortable and very clean. Nice shower and plenty of cupboard space. Had kettle, fridge, glasses and cups/saucers but no teaspoon. Dressing table mirror too high. Can't use it if sitting down. Breakfast good. Plenty of choice (English and continental). Breakfast time is 7.30 to 9.30 - a bit early I think. Sun beds are 5 euros. Never had to pay for them where I've stayed before. Although got 10% discount on them and anything bought from bar. Overall a nice place to stay.

Alacarte Hotel
This is alacarte type of hotel, but it matches the price we paid. You pay for what you want to use like the safe or beach towels. Bathrooom was very European, so make sure you are ok with that if you choose to stay here. Over all was ok for one night, but probably would not stay for an extended period.

L hôtel est très bien situé, en bord de mer, il faut juste descendre les marches et vous êtes sur la plage c’est vraiment le point positif de ce lieu. La suite est juste une simple chambre , tout est ouvert, toilette, douche. La chambre et l hôtel ne sont pas digne d un 4 Étoiles. La chambre est nettoyée un jour sur 2, les serviettes et les draps pas changées, pas de renouvellement de savon pour les mains, une bouilloire avec 2 tasses posée à l entrée mais où sont les sachets de thé et de café ? Un frigo et un climatiseur bien. Repas petit déjeuner et dîner très répétitif, pas varié ( on a mangé des pâtes tous les jours) dessert melon et pastèque fade et un gâteau à la crème tous les jours ! Les boissons sont payantes, dommage que les hôtes doivent mangé à l Interieur pas de salle climatisé car à l extérieur sur la plage c est restaurant et c est réservé pour les gens extérieur de l hôte qui profitent de la vue!! Quelques serveurs un peu froid dans leur façon de parler! Un jour au retour de mon excursion à 20h , j ai été mangé au buffet vu que j ai pris la demi pension et la femme de ménage se servait à manger et m à fait la remarque que le buffet était fermé !! Les transats sont payant pour les hôtes, les serviettes avec caution de 10 eur. Il y a une mauvaise communication entre le personnel car à notre sortie on nous a demandé de régler des boissons qu’on avait payé sur la plage. Le monsieur de la piscine est très gentil et les dames qui font les massages aussi!!

Alles im allen war es ok. Die Beach Bar hat uns am besten gefallen. Die ersten paar Meter im Wasser sind glitschig (wegen Steinen) und es besteht Rutschgefahr. Würde keine Halbpension empfehlen, da das Essen nicht gut ist. Geschmacklos, trocken, verkocht.. Frühstück war solide. Zimmer ok. Nichts besonderes. Hotelmanagerin sehr nett.
