    The view was spectacular. The food was absolutely delicious and reasonably priced. Charming room with precious little balcony and again the view! The pool was crystal clear and it was lovely to see the pool with the backdrop of the ocean. The people were so friendly and helped us with calling a taxi etc.

    The accommodation's equipment is somewhat worn out.

    Very friendly and helpful staff, exceptional cleanliness of the accommodation (every day). We had two balconies in our accommodation, one with a great view of the bay and the sea, the other on the opposite side, where for example there was no sun for part of the day. One day we also had breakfast in the restaurant, which is part of the accommodation. It was exceptional and we HIGHLY recommend it. €10 for a very rich breakfast. Free parking within the accommodation. A few minutes walk to the nearest shop and other restaurants.

    Very good stay. The place is really beautiful. The restaurant is great. Too vad there was no air conditionning in all the rooms of the apartment. But apart from that it was perfect.

    What a fabulous place to stay at the eastern end of Crete. I think they gave us the nicest view room and the view was truly wonderful. So was the accommodation and the facilties in the accommodation. The location was convenient for seeing sites in the area. The pool was awesome and the grounds were great for our little dog to run around. The onsite restaurant serves delicious food a very reasonable prices. Really loved Emerald and totally enjoyed our stay.

    I wouldn't want to walk to to the beach with small children. No pavement.. Would need a car to feel safe.

    This is a brilliant find. Clean, super comfortable. Excellent service but nothing intrusive. Lovely pool and 10 minute trot to the beach. Low key and relaxed. We will definitely return

    The shower was small so made washing hard.

    Fantastic apartment just a short walk to Plaka. The room was spacious and clean. The pool was fantastic and the whole property has stunning sea views. The food in the restaurant was excellent and very reasonable. Our apartment had 2 balconies.

    Only thing didn’t like was the steep hill just outside on the lane up to Plaka. Better to walk up sober though & stumble downhill tipsy!!

    Excellent rooms, view, pool, restaurant, staff. Looking to return next year!!

    I think, they should modernize their bathrooms and airconditioner.

    Everything, especially the pool and the surroundings. It is a very charming, sweet, peaceful, calm place. It is away from the touristy area and yet close enough, if one wants the crowd.
