Fantastic rustic and rural getaway in Crete. Staff all extremely friendly and helpful, nothing was too big an ask. Everyone we met on the trip were also very friendly and kind.
The resort itself is pretty faultless, every member of staff is super kind and friendly, they all looked after us so well from reception to restaurants. Food was fantastic at Rodies - probably the best meal we had as well as Sofas Taverna in old town Hersonissos. Cooking class was brilliant and well worth the money; wine tasting was very generous and we had a three-course meal.
There's no huge international buffet or anything on mass scale, which for me I love! If you're not interested in the local culture it probably isn't for you as it's very traditional, tranquil and just the perfect rural holiday for a total switch-off. We'd love to be back.
Pools were immaculately kept and very peaceful, even with the odd kids around (we did go in September so it was quieter). Never had to queue for anything and all maintained well, no drinks or food left lying around.
The room is probably the only part which needs touching up, it's a little dated but also is a style thing - very Cretan and rustic. It was perfect for what we needed, though the bathroom was in need of a proper clean as we had some ants/dirt behind the door. Not a major issue as everything else was pretty much bang on!
