Size isn't everything. It's not a big resort, so you can expect smaller/fewer pools and bars etc .. However, it's more intimate and tucked away in a lovely village called Kalyves you can stroll around, nicely located on an lovely beach. We never had any issues at all during our stay, and there was a good holiday a**osphere. The food options were better than I thought. You had a range of coffee/teas, juice/water and pastries, bread, egg, meat and salads and fruit/cereal for breakfast. Lunch and dinner buffets were served 1-3pm and from 7pm onwards and there was fish/meat salad, rice/pasta, chips and plenty of food plus assorted desserts. There wasn't a huge variety day to day, but it genuinely kept all of us happy and satisfied. We only once ate outside the hotel and that was because of a day trip. Above expectation buffet food is what I'd call it. The Kalyves staff were all helpful and professional. There was evening entertainment in the form of a disco/quiz and local music and Cretan dancers, we even had a belly dancer one night, which seemed to fascinate the children and older men alike. Most of the guests seemed to head to bed by 10pm so it's not a party hotel. We never heard any partying late in the night or had any noise issues. The rooms were spacious and comfortable and promptly cleaned daily if requested. In our room we also had a fridge which was handy, a mini-balcony which overlooked the small estuary and Sea. I can confirm the Wifi speed was reliable, but not super fast at around 5MBPS. Fortunately, if you use mobile data I had great speeds for 4G, so used that most of the time. We had the All-Inclusive Plus package, which means you get a different colour wristband and get access to premium drinks. This meant you could go and ask for a Mojito or a Pina Colada or Screwdriver and get the branded alcohol. That being said the standard cocktails were quite nice anyway. I'll never be a fan of Cretan beer, but it's on tap you can help yourself, plus wine etc .. My partner particularly enjoyed the Aperol Spritz. There is a small indoor pool and gym, and we found this handy for our son who can't yet swim, and it was never busy in there, almost like a private pool at times, but only about a metre deep (yes, there is a lifeguard). The outdoor pools are small and were a bit cold in May, but refreshing. The best thing is the beach and the loungers are just feet away from the drinks bar, and we found ourselves mixing pool and beach time with ease. There's outdoor showers if you want to wash your feet. You can also have a lovely stroll along the beach and there's some nice shops, restaurants and cocktail bars nearby, you can even walk 10 minutes and be at the marina where we had a nice cruise with Kalyves Cruises (nice guys who spoke English and took us on a tour for about 4 hours, with stops for swimming and snorkelling with a little bit of history thrown in). Not far away, about 10 minutes by car/taxi is their sister resort (much bigger) call
