With only one guest review and a low overall rating of 1/10, this is a stay to approach carefully and verify expectations before committing.

Location-wise, you’re close enough for easy coastal outings: Elounda Beach is about 1 km away, and Kolokytha Beach is roughly 4 km from the area.

The hotel also provides access to a nearby indoor pool, which can be helpful if the weather turns.

Best for families and road-trip travelers who prioritize free parking, air conditioning, and pool access, and who are comfortable doing a bit of checking before booking given the limited review history.
