This is a terrifically stylish and well-run hotel. It’s the kind of place that becomes the star of your holiday - I couldn’t wait to get back there. The rooms and the entire hotel are serene and gorgeous - all cream stone walls, marble, wood, floating staircases, with wonderful views straight out to sea. We enjoyed our jacuzzi and steam/shower room. The sound of the waves at night was so relaxing. We also loved the indoor pool and spa where we both had relaxing treatments. The breakfasts were excellent, taken outside by the sea. We were able to sunbathe on recliners on the narrow area between the hotel and the sea, but the hotel isn’t really aimed at those who want a poolside holiday. The staff - receptionists, owner, waiters, cleaners - everyone, really couldn’t have been more charming and helpful, aiding us with taxis, a hire car and suchlike. The walk to Chania took about 20 minutes. The taxi from the airport cost 30eu - in cash only, which caught us out. I recommend this place without reservation.
