Amazing for kids. Bad luck with no power no water for half day, no generators for rooms or water tank. They charge extra for kids on your arrival.

This is a well run and well organised Hotel. We had a room with a private pool on the beach side. This kept us away from the more family orientated pool on the hotel side. The beach side pool was therefore adult friendly. The food was terrific as well. The hotel organised a trip to Samaria Gorge. But if you take this it's a full 15 hour day. We left at 05.00 and only returned at 20.00 hrs.
