4-star beachfront family resort on the Libyan Sea coast of Crete
Dining
The hotel's main restaurant serves a rotating buffet of local Cretan dishes, fresh fish, and international options prepared in small batches. Three à la carte restaurants - Almyra, the Asian restaurant, and the Elia Cretan restaurant - offer themed menus included in the all-inclusive stay. A snack bar by the pool provides pizza, salads, fruits, and ice cream throughout the day, while the main bar serves premium local spirits and cocktails until midnight.
Leisure
An energetic animation team runs daily aqua aerobics, water polo, darts, table tennis, and bingo for adults, plus a mini disco and face painting for children. Evening shows include live Greek music and themed performances in the outdoor amphitheatre. A kids' club with indoor and outdoor play areas, a bouncy castle, and craft sessions keeps children aged 4-12 occupied while parents relax.

The private beach offers coarse sand, shallow entry, a shaded sandy playground for kids, and a beach bar with free sunbeds and umbrellas. On-site water sports such as paddleboarding and jet skis are available for an extra charge.

The award-winning spa includes a hamman, sauna, steam room, rainforest multi-shower, and an indoor pool for relaxation after treatments. A well-equipped fitness centre with locker rooms and a spa lounge/relaxation area is open to guests. Massages, body treatments, and spa packages are available for an additional fee.
