We had such a lovely two-week stay at this charming family hotel in Crete! The atmosphere was inviting, and the staff were incredibly friendly and wonderful with our kids. While the hotel is well-maintained with good rooms and a nice pool area, the breakfast could use some improvement. If we ever return to Crete, this place will be our top choice!
