We had lots of fun at our stay at Sun Ray. Unfortunately it was off-season (the main tourist season begins at the end of April/ beginning of May), and almost all nearby shops and restaurants were closed. We had to walk 1km to reach a nearby supermarket, and other than going to the beach (which was lovely in off-season as it was so quiet), there was nothing else to do in the local neighbourhood. The buses into Chania were fairly regular, but if you plan on staying here off-season, I’d strongly suggest hiring a car if you want to explore any further afield.
The accommodation itself was lovely. It was cleaned everyday, and we loved the steam shower room and jacuzzi tub. It’s worth noting though that it was a bathtub jacuzzi, so needed filling with water for each use, which takes about half an hour. The kitchen was perfectly functional but a little limited. Only a couple of pots and one saucepan, no microwave, and no basic ingredients like cooking oil were provided, so if you plan on cooking then you will need to buy everything.
Michalis was a wonderful host, she always very warm and welcoming, offering helpful suggestions on the local area. They always made themselves available at all times for any queries we had.
