We stayed here for our honeymoon and would 100% recommend Crete and this seaside resort as an excellent place for couples wanting a beautiful place to travel in October time. The resort itself is amazing with great rooms, customer service, a gym, yoga/pilates studio, tennis court and more. The resort is situated a few minutes away from a beautiful beach that is easy for swimming but the resort has a variety of pools as well. We were really impressed by the quality of the all inclusive food but there are a la carte restaurants too. There is a restaurant called Caléa by Gerardo Mettawithin within the hotel which is a really special experience. We will remember our holiday here with fond memories, thank you!
