Lovely, comfortable hotel. A complimentary welcome drink at the bar helped us feel at ease immediately. Bedroom comfy and bathroom adequate. Slight drawback was the lack of storage so we were living out of our cases for the week, mostly. The sound does carry in the corridor a bit so doors being closed seemed quite noisy. We weren’t kept awake but maybe didn’t sleep in late in the morning. The hotel itself is spotlessly clean. It’s a 5-10 minute stroll down to the beach so it’s nice and peaceful being up the hill slightly. The pool area and bar were always well populated without feeling overcrowded. Sunbeds were fully in use most days and when we wanted to use them ourselves, we had no problem. If anything, the structure of the building made it a bit of a suntrap during the day and we found it too hot. There’s more of a refreshing breeze down at the beach. The range of food on offer was always very good. We always found more than enough at breakfast time. We usually had four or five miniature courses at lunch and dinner as there was always so much that looked so good we didn’t want to miss out on anything. Special mention to Marina who, at breakfast, provided easily the best fried eggs I have had at a hotel anywhere. Outstanding. The cocktails on offer at the bar suited us just fine and another special mention goes to Kostas for looking after us so well for the week. The live entertainment offered at the poolside bar wasn't for us so we tended to head elsewhere while they were on but would return afterwards for a nightcap. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our holiday and we know, if we were to head back to Crete again, that the Asana Hotel would be a good choice.
