Clean and comfortable, recommend!
Extremely good experience. We had a family room which was very spacious, a door to separate the kids section from main bedroom, the room had a black out curtain. We were in 600 block which was very well located not far from anywhere you needed to go. We went to the splash pad most of the time and never struggled to get a sunbed no matter what time we headed up there. Quiet pool seemed the same but main pool was busier so more planning needed to get a good spot. We used the beach shuttle once, you could walk it but the road outside is very busy so with kids the shuttle is more comfortable. Beach was sandy, we hired sunbeds 2 and parasol for 15Euro. Splash pad was fantastic for our kids 4 and 6 and that pool is not salty which was ideal. The signs at the resort say the main slides are for 6+ (not 7 as i had read before we went) the child needs to be able to swim unaided to clear the splash down area. The water slides area was well controlled by the lifeguards and never much of a queue for the slides. Food was very good, enough choice and plenty of Greek specialities, lovely salads and great selection of fresh fruit. Smarter dress requested in the evening but smart shorts and flip-flops were ok for men. French and German tour companies based at the hotel had a strong presence with their own animation teams, which Tui don't have. The hotel animation was quite low key but was advertised so you could get involved if you wanted but no pressure. Our children enjoyed the kids club and mini disco. A very clean resort, this was the main thing that struck us. We were very impressed and had a very comfortable and enjoyable stay. We did not regret our choice of hotel!

Excellent massage!
Eva really took good care of me, making sure I was comfortable at all times as well as asking if the strength of the massage was ok. Definitely will come back in the future

Massage Cretan Experience
Today I had the Cretan Experience Massage, which started with a body scrub (gommage), followed by a 50-minute rosemary oil massage, a hydration treatment, and finished with a relaxing head massage.
From the very beginning, the service was excellent. The information provided beforehand was clear, professional, and very friendly. The hygiene standards were outstanding.
My therapist, Georgia, gave me a very warm welcome. She was gentle, attentive, and had a calm and soothing manner. I felt comfortable and relaxed from the very first moment.
I had requested firm pressure, and the massage was exactly as I had hoped. At one point, the pressure on my legs was a little too strong, but as soon as I mentioned it, Georgia immediately adjusted it to my preference.
A well-deserved five stars for this massage. I felt incredibly relaxed and refreshed afterwards. I highly recommend it!
