  : Super lovely host, very very comfortable beds, well sound-proofed, spacious, huge balcony.Big pool with toys, goggles, pool noodles etc for everyone to use. Has some very deep areas which is great for diving and jumping in. Pool is open from 10am to 10pm and is lit at night which we loved as we could swim still after dinner with the stars shining above us.Small but well stocked supermarket right next door for convenience. Bus stop to get into Chania just outside the property, takes about 15 minutes to get there and they go frequently. Tip: buy the tickets at the supermarket beforehand as it is only about half the price of what you pay when you buy the ticket inside the bus. Beach is a two minute walk. Nice restaurant called Sterna with a lovely hidden away garden 100m from the hotel.
  : There could have been more umbrellas for shade at the pool - but there is always shade under the roof next to the pool where you can also go to to get away from the sun. Not in the hustle and bustle of the village (which can be an advantage or a disadvantage, depending on what one wants)

  : The property is located very closely to a nice sandy beach, with clean shallow water and multiple options for rentals (sunbeds, watersport items). There are also several restaurants and shops within walking distance. The pool is nice for children, and there are outdoor sitting areas next to each apartment which is nice for families to socialise. The owners are very nice, they went out of their way to put our travel group next to each other in the apartments more suitable for small children. We were also allowed early check-in. Our apartments were cleaned daily by a nice lady.
  : The photos looked much better than reality. In reality, everything is a bit worn. The palm trees you see on the photos belong to the property next door. The environment is not that nice; there are several derelict buildings in the street, and a parking lot full of rubbish you need to pass through to get to the beach. On the other hand, there are a couple of more attractive properties right next door. This property has a very good location and good potential; it could be made much better value for money if there was some good decoration and some thoughtful details in the rooms and more plants around. When we arrived there was no water in out fridge - everywhere else we ever travelled in the Mediterranean usually has this. Overall, the property would be good value for money at about half of the price we were charged for it.
