The hotel offers a wonderful family-friendly experience with spacious, tastefully designed, and spotlessly clean rooms. The service is top-notch, with attentive and polite staff. The location is excellent, just a short walk from the beautiful beach and Malia centre. The dining options are varied, with delicious Greek-style dishes but could improve the children's menu. Overall, a highly recommended hotel with a great value for money.
