19-27 May 2016
We had the pleasure of staying at the Waterfront Apartments last month and had a very enjoyable stay.
The apartment was ideally situated, being only 50 metres from the sea, which was perfect for a lovely morning dip. Even at weekends the beach was quiet and long enough to probably accommodate even the high season influx. We had hired a car and the apartment was well located for easy access to the main road out of Kissamos for exploring the west of the Island. Kissamos town centre and the promenade restaurants are only a 10-15 minute walk away. In the other direction along the beach there is a beach bar that did not seem to be operating yet and a little further on Mesogios which has a bar, restaurant and swimming pool which they allowed us to use even though we were not residents.
The apartment itself was very modern, comfortable, spacious and tastefully furnished with a large sea facing balcony and probably the best shower we have come across in Crete.
Servicing the apartment was done every 3 days with fresh sheets and towels provided.
There was ample parking for residents vehicles.
Wifi was available although patchy at times..but that's Crete :)
The kitchen area was smart and clean and contained a full size oven with 4 ring hob you were however somewhat limited to just basic dishes due to the utensils provided.
A special request for extra pillows was sorted out immediately by Vasso and we had no doubt that if we were to make any other requests they would be attended to with the same response.
For those who like a rural location there is ongoing entertainment provided by the goats, sheep and other farm animals in the next door properties.
The balcony was a great spot to sit and watch the ships, boats, wildbirds and other activities that took place and to chat with the other residents.
Minas, Vasso and their son Konstandino were very welcoming, accommodating and helpful with suggestions and recommendations for excursions and places to eat.
Unfortunately, due to us booking late, Minas was only able to accommodate us for 2/3 of our stay but was kind enough to arrange somewhere very close by where we spent the last few nights which we also enjoyed.
When we revisit Kissamos we would certainly like to stay at the Waterfront Apartments again and would highly recommend it to other visitors.
