Official and review sources identify a premium all-inclusive beachfront resort with buffet, a la carte restaurants and daytime snack concepts.
Pools & waterplay
Pool count and swim-up/family pool details should be manually verified against the current resort map; recent reviews support swim-up family-room pools and main pool depth caveats.
The beach itself
Beachfront Kokkini Hani setting on northern Crete; water is generally usable but can be wavy or wind-affected.
- Moderate water, swimmable most days
- Caveat: Entry depth varies along the shore
Counts come from the resort's own published information; the scores are ours, from the Palmprint file below.

All 6 categories, from the resort's own accommodations pages. The figures are the comparison: how many the room takes, against the most this property puts in any one key. Where a category carries no figures, the resort does not publish an occupancy for it, which at villa tier usually means it is set when you book.

| Private Pool Suite | Not published | 1 bedroom | Not publishedprivate pool |
Occupancy is the maximum published occupancy including rollaways, not comfortable occupancy. Categories and occupancy change with renovations, and connecting rooms are usually request-only, so confirm when you book.

The rate, and where to check it
Our tracker samples real rates for a two-adult, 7-night stay on a rotating schedule, so the number below is a checked price with a date on it, not a teaser. The channels underneath price the same stay; a few minutes across them is routinely worth a night's rate.
Per-person figures assume two sharing. Taxes and fees vary by channel, so compare the final screen, not the first one.
