"Beautiful complex Stunning views Staff were friendly and attentive Holiday with my son. This is primarily a couples resort. Be aware of steep steps to the beach, beach bar and one of the à la carte restaurant's. Complimentary mini bus to elounda. Not really walking distance to leave the resort and explore on your own.
