This was a great place to stay, location was great , parking was easy and the beach was less than a 3 minute walk away. Andreas is amazing, he makes an awesome Turkish coffee and recommended some great places to eat, places to visit. This place was low pressure and it was a perfect place to relax. The pool was perfect and the vibe was chill. I even met some great travelers who had been here before.

We hebben begin oktober een heerlijke week gehad bij Elma’s Dream Apartments. Het appartement was zeer ruim, met een groot terras waar de hele dag zon op stond – perfect om te ontspannen. Alles was schoon en goed onderhouden, al is het geheel wat gedateerd van stijl. De gastheer Andreas en zijn vrouw waren buitengewoon vriendelijk en behulpzaam. We hadden een klein incident tijdens ons verblijf, en Andreas heeft ons fantastisch geholpen – echte Griekse gastvrijheid! De voorzieningen zijn uitstekend: goede airco, oven, koelkast/vriezer, sterke wifi en dagelijks schone handdoeken. Het bed lag heerlijk en de lakens waren fris. De badkamer is wat klein en de douche heeft geen harde straal, maar dat was voor ons geen probleem. De ligging is top: een paar minuten lopen naar een prachtig zandstrand met blauwe vlag, waar je voor een klein bedrag ligbedden kunt huren. Via het strand kun je zelfs helemaal naar Chania lopen. Kortom: uitstekende prijs-kwaliteitverhouding en een plek waar we zeker graag nog eens terugkomen.

Great place to stay!

Viihtyisä pieni apartementoshotelli. Kotoisa fiilis kun kaikki oli helposti lähellä. Andreas on erittäin ystävällinen ja avulias. Huone oli siisti ja kaikki tarvittava löytyi. Ihan vieressä on ruokakauppa ja rannallekin lyhyt kävely. Hotellista saa tilattua ruokaa myös. Hotellin uima-allas oli syvä, mutta lapsille oma pieni alue. Rennolla ja hyvällä otteella hoidettu kokonaisuus. Iso suositus jos isot hotellikompleksit ei kiinnosta. Cozy, relax, lovely place. Big recommendation if you are looking something else than big hotel chain. Andreas is very polite, helpful and has great sense of humor. The room was clean and there was everything you needed. Nice pool area. And the beach and supermarkets are very close. We stayed only three nights but Im sure we'll come back some day.

Nous avons passé un séjour formidable ! Un grand merci à Andreas pour son accompagnement du début à la fin : toujours disponible, réactif et de bon conseil, il a su répondre à toutes nos questions et nous proposer des solutions efficaces dès que nous en avons eu besoin. L’hôtel est idéalement situé : à seulement deux minutes à pied de la plage, avec un arrêt de bus à proximité ainsi qu’un supermarché, ce qui est très pratique au quotidien. La piscine est superbe, bien entretenue et suffisamment profonde pour les nageurs. Nous avons vraiment pu nous détendre et profiter pleinement de cette semaine de vacances. Tout était réuni pour un séjour reposant et agréable. Nous recommandons cet endroit les yeux fermés, et reviendrons sans hésiter si l’occasion se présente ! Anne

Ihana perheyritys! Huoneet ja yleiset tilat siistejä ja remontoituja, paikkaa todella pidetään rakkaudella. Yrittäjäpariskunta on sydämellinen ja he todella tekivät kaikkensa viihtyvyytemme eteen. Esimerkiksi aamupalasta saimme itse esittää toiveita, mitä haluaisimme syödä. Sijainti oli todella hyvä, lähin minimarket muutaman minuutin kävelyn päässä, samoin kuin Golden Beach. Vanhaankaupunkiin tai keskustan suunnille pääsi kätevästi bussilla. Kaiken kaikkiaan ihana paikka.

Mahtava majoitus!

Olimme viikon lomalla kahden pienen lapsen kanssa ja olimme erittäin tyytyväisiä majoitukseen! Huoneisto oli siisti, hyväkuntoinen ja hyvin varusteltu. Omistaja oli todella ystävällinen ja avulias. Oli myös erityisen mukavaa, että saapuessamme myöhään illalla, oli hän vielä ottamassa vastaan ja valmisti meille iltapalan. Pihapiiri oli turvallinen ja viihtyisä, mikä oli lasten kannalta iso plussa. He saivat touhuta ulkona huoletta, ja piha oli siisti ja varjoisa, mikä teki siitä miellyttävän paikan myös aikuisille seurata lasten leikkejä.

Rauhallinen ja kodikas huoneistohotelli. Henkilökunta todella ystävällistä ja avuliasta. Vain 100 metriä rannalle ja pieni kauppa nurkan takana. Sopii erityisen hyvin lapsiperheille ja niille jotka kaipaavat rauhaa. Bussi vanhaan kaupunkiin menee myös ihan läheltä. Isompia marketteja vartin kävelymatkan päässä. Huoneistossa oli hyvin varusteltu keittiö ja jääkaappi, joten oma kokkailu onnistuu.

Helt forfærdelig oplevelse. Værelset var der ikke noget galt med, det var pænt og rent. Men hele natten er jeg blevet vækket af folk der råbte, skændtes og bankede på min dør. Det er bestemt ikke betryggende når man rejser alene.
