I stayed a few nights with my family and my kids came to nickname the hotel "paradise". It's a small hotel in a quiet area right on the beach, so there are no crowds all. We bounced between playing in the surf and playing in the pool, and we took day trips other areas in Crete. The town of Kissamo is cute and I wish we had had more time to explore. The staff were friendly and kind as well. Breakfast wasn't much, but it was comfortable to have dinner each night after playing in the surf. The sunsets were gorgeous. We definitely will come back, hopefully sooner than later!
