This was the fifth time we have been here (for the chess tournament), and it's still lovely. As I said last year, the updating of the pool area and plaza is really nice, in particular the addition of more under-cover seating so you can eat lunch in the shade. The food in general was as good as always, particularly the oriental evening. The staff are what really make this place, so special mentions to Popi, Pinelopi, Diana, Happy, Sofia and George, and of course to fitness coach (and Pink Wave member) Gina who always found time to chat. If I had to suggest one thing it would be that the fitness area be updated. It's been moved slightly from previous years, but the wooden boards are very old and tired, as are the exercise mats (and so am I, to be fair). It also needs more and better shade and a non-sandy route to get to it... ...but that's a small criticism - overall a fabulous holiday once again! Outside of the resort, I recommend a walk up to the village of Fodele (or a taxi ride), or from the main road you can catch a bus to Heraklion in one direction and Rethymno and Chania the other way.
