We had a wonderful five days at Stavros. The location is simply amazing - right on the beach and with lounging areas surrounding a beautiful pool. My kids loved spending their mornings going back and forth between the beach and pool, then we explored the many beaches easily reached by car. The area around is very walkable with restaurants nearby, but I confess that we ate almost every night at the Stavros family restaurant. There was a big menu to choose from and specials - not to mention the amazing donuts. We also spent one evening in nearby Chania. Probably the best part is the laid back family atmosphere. It was quiet and relaxing with plenty of space for the kids to play and explore. And the milkshakes are amazing!
The unit itself was simple and organized, and very clean. A bit of a funny layout as mentioned in other reviews, and we did decide to pay the extra for AC. The apt was certainly plenty fine for my husband and I and our three daughters. It was handy having a small kitchenette and table for lunches and snacks.
