Upgraded suites include private pools with electronic awnings and direct access to semi-private pools overlooking Mirabello Bay.

Breakfast and dinner are served at the sea-view Nafsika Restaurant, offering a buffet with freshly squeezed juices, omelets made to order, and a wide selection of pastries and local cheeses. Lunch options include Aglio e Olio for Italian cuisine or the beachfront tavern Odysseus, while guests can also dine at Il Borro (Ferragamo family-owned) or Sumosan for Japanese fusion. Half-board guests receive meal credits of €24 per adult and €12 per child at the resort's à la carte restaurants.

amazing cretan escape!

modern room prompt service

the room was spacious , clean , and modern. the balcony view was fine. we spent much time at the heated pool , a huge hit with my children. service near the pool was also prompt and convenient , so very useful.

the signage was definitely lacking , especially getting there. our sat nav took us on a wild mountain route , pretty scary! better directions with arrows would be so helpful for first-timers.

premium room private beach nice breakfast restaurant signage arrow sign mountain road

The premium room was beautiful. It had so much space. Very nice views existed. The private beach and pool were amazing. Breakfast was also really nice. Service was super helpful and friendly.

I found it hard to find the restaurant. There needs to be more signage with arrows. Our sat nav took us via mountains. It was quite scary. We couldn't get down to the resort. You need more signs with arrows.
