Castello Village Hotel Apartments

Sissi is a lovely place. Very beautiful with enough tavernas and activities without it being over commercial or over bearing - we traveled with our 3yr old and our 1 yr old who both thoroughly enjoyed the holiday. The hotel also exceeded expectations. The clientele were largely German which created a minor issue for our 3yr old who wanted to make friends but could not understand the language barrier.
All the staff at the hotel were very friendly and approachable, the room was clean and spacious (although the air conditioning at an extra charge was not powerful enough or designed with families in mind - it was one small unit in the bedroom and only worked when all windows and doors are closed - not great if you want to sit on the balcony when the children are in bed).
Overall I would thoroughly recommend both Sissi and the Castello Village for families and couples. Not suitable for groups of girls/guys looking for a party holiday but Malia is just down the road.
