A high-end resort in a spectacular setting

The staff are wonderful, the rooms clean and attractive, and the architecture stunning. The view is lovely. All that with easy access to Agios Nicolaos village made this a great place to stay in Crrete.

Gorgeous, family-friendly resort with extraordinarily welcoming staff. We'd love to return.

The staff was perfectly welcoming at every turn - from leaving food for us at our late night arrival, to accommodating everything our two young children needed. The setting is absolutely gorgeous, and one can enjoy the sea in a number of different places. Short drive to other incredible beaches. Food Read more[SPLIT]Read lesswas high quality and accessible across restaurants. Food orders arrived extremely quickly. Spa is beautiful with very talented staff. Overall would highly recommend to anyone looking to relax in luxury by the sea, and especially to families.
