The hotel is located just 15 minutes from the airport, offering good-sized rooms with daily cleaning and fresh towels. The staff are friendly and helpful, ensuring a clean and comfortable stay. The location is quiet and perfect for a short break, near beautiful beach bays and a lovely pool. The dining experience, with a variety of options including meze and salads, is enjoyable. However, the late check-in was inconvenient after a long journey.

I recently stayed at the Golden Bay apartments for a week in late June. The one-bedroom apartment was spacious with one of the best bathrooms I've experienced in Crete. However, the rooms are quite basic and could benefit from more work surfaces. It would have been convenient if the hotel provided a small bottle of washing up liquid.

The hotel, run by Kritonas, is situated in a quiet place near some lovely beach bays, offering a clean and well-maintained environment. Families should note the deep end of the pool is 2.5 meters deep.

The hotel offers a peaceful escape with its quiet and undeveloped location right on the beachfront. The rooms are basic and could benefit from more work surfaces for food preparation. The Greek dancing entertainment was enjoyable, but the service had a mix-up during the performance. The dining experience provided a good variety of tasty options to suit everyone, including delicious local products.
