I honestly can't recommend this place enough!
Tassos got back to me regarding any queries within 1 hour and was really helpful giving advice on how to get from the airport to his place. He also booked a taxi for us on the way back which was really helpful of him. :)
Our room itself is very clean and simple, with air conditioning and a lovely balcony/patio. The communal area was also kept very clean with a good sized pool and plenty of sunbeds to go around! The reception area was lovely and Tassos or his wife were there most of the time to answer any questions and even provided us with a first aid kit when my cousin cut herself. The one thing I would say is that you will need to specify whether you want a room with a kitchenette or not. We didn't need one and our room didn't have one but if this is something that you're looking for, then maybe ask before you arrive. Also the WiFi connection in our room was a bit iffy, but we were quite far away from reception and didn't mind spending the evenings sitting around the pool if we wanted to use the WiFi.
The restaurant upstairs was very good value for money and we had a lovely meal there.
Probably the best part about our trip was the location of the Hotel. It is a 200m walk to the beach- which is beautiful, has a beach bar for food and FREE sunbeds! Perfect for spending the afternoon at the beach! There are restaurants, a pharmacy and a food shop also within a 200m walk of the hotel which was really useful and good value for money. The hotel is also situated right on the coast and the sea is pretty much over the road from the hotel which meant beautiful views all day long.
We didn't do much exploring but the surrounding village looked lovely. You might need a car if you want to do some serious exploring- or if you're brave enough, try to work out the local bus routes!
Overall we had an amazing stay at Tassos's hotel and my cousin even said if she ever came back to Crete, she would stay in the same place!
Thank you Tassos and family! :)
