Candia is a wonderful escape for families, offering spacious grounds and engaging children's activities that kept our little ones entertained. The staff were genuinely friendly, contributing to a relaxed atmosphere. However, the dining service at the pool bar was slow, and the dark ambiance in our apartment could use some improvement. Additionally, the location can feel isolated without a car, which is something to consider for exploring nearby areas.

We had a fabulous family holiday at this resort with stunning sea views from our spacious balcony. The apartments were clean and well-appointed, and the staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful.

My family and I had an enjoyable experience at this hotel overall. The friendly staff and extensive meal options made our stay pleasant, and we appreciated the cleanliness of the resort and the beautiful beach. However, some areas, particularly the room furnishings and the breakfast buffet experience, felt a bit tired and chaotic at times. Additionally, the cost of dining outside the hotel can add up quickly for larger families.

The resort offered a wonderful selection of food options and engaging activities for families, which kept my children entertained.
