We were a family of 7 5 adults a 17 an a 12. Reception welcome was very nice. We stayed 2 nights in 3 rooms type Abaton Collection Suite with Sharing pool. Rooms are very comfortable KING size beds and large you can see the sea from the room but cannot see it from the pool as the next building is in the way. Had some minor problems like the window curtains did not close all the way and was not fixed. Played tennis in a good clay court which is included in the room price. The hotels main building is beautiful and has great seats to view the coast and private hotel beach. Everywhere in the hotel pool and beach there is a lot of space and it is quiet. The private beach stretches over few hundred meters and has great beach beds but you can go in to the water in a small part due to rocks 9like in most northern beaches) and there is no sand. Very good breakfast with very rich buffet, can order omelet and good greek coffee free of charge. We did have some sitting problems, I expected that the hotel would pre arrange a table for us 7 (like done for us in other hotels during this visit) as it requires some arrangement however we found ourselves in a not so nice and not hospitable discussion with the breakfast manager till we were able to convince them to set for us a table outside on the non sunny terrace. The SPA, we were told when making the reservation, it is included in the room price, which was not cheap and you could expect such when you read the name of the hotel (&SPA)... it was not included. On top we learned it is a small SPA so we couldn't go few together. This is very inconsistent with how big the size of this hotel... We were allowed in the indoor pool which is very nice and heated. All the facilities are in very good condition and welcoming, Gym was also good.

Beautiful, tastefully designed resort with spacious, spotless rooms, excellent amenities and lovely terraces. The grounds and pools are beautifully maintained and never felt crowded, even when the hotel is busy. Excellent, extensive breakfast, and exceptional staff who are warm, attentive and genuinely anticipate your needs. The welcome gift of fruit, Prosecco and Cretan desserts was a lovely touch. A few details kept it from being outstanding: our room was only ready at 17:40 despite a 15:00 check-in, with no compensation offered. Music from the Buddha bar was very loud until midnight on Saturday, even with our windows closed. A few maintenance details, such as common bathrooms, could use more attention.
