A lovely villa with a few first world problems. Overall White Lotus was great and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It is in a lovely location and all of the bedrooms are modern, spacious and well equipped with en suite toilets and showers. The downstairs space is great for a family and the balcony works wells for meals with wonderful views, especially at sunset. Our kids loved the pool which is big enough for a good splash around.
The first world problems were minor. The bedsheets were too small, so all constantly came off. The air con in all the rooms worked, but wasn't powerful enough to make it particularly cool at night in some of the upstairs rooms (although we were there mid August so it was particularly hot). Some of the blinds, curtains and picture frames could do with fixing/replacing and the beds by the pool had no curtains for shade (we made our own with towels). As I say, first word problem and none of this should put you off! We were at the villa for a family holiday for two weeks with eight of us and we all really enjoyed it. The villa is in a good location within Vamous, which is a village with lots of lovely tavernas within walking distance. A car is a must for trips to a series of great beaches within a 15-20 minute drive. Chania old town is also well worth a trip (about 45 minutes away in a car). Despite what we were told in advance, driving in Crete is no problem. The roads are good and other drivers are generally very considerate. I would suggest hiring a smaller car (some of the roads are very narrow). We had limited interaction with the host, but he was available and responded quickly when required.
