This hotel is obscene! The front desk is rude, if you're not Greek, of course! There is no breakfast for the Italians, just local stuff and a maximum of ham and cheese .. that we do not eat breakfast! And 'dirty, not clean the rooms, there are ants and hair! I have folded the towels were dirty and without changing resting on the floor. They have not even made the bed. The night they whooped disturbing other guests of the hotel and nobody intervened to silence. Le foto non sono realistiche, sembra bello invece è una specie di bettola malandata. In sintesi se siete amanti della pulizia, della gentilezza, del rispetto e della disponibiltà non andate in questo albergo!!! P.S. Gli abbiamo chiesto della colazione e abbiamo ottenuto un semplice: " Questa è la colazione" !! Grazie, molto gentili... Mai più!

I had a fantastic stay with a huge L-shaped balcony perfect for soaking up the sun. Loved the daily room service and the delicious breakfast, especially the free fruits and raki shots. No issues with the shower despite its size!

Ideal and fairly clean accommodation with particularly good location close enough to Heraklion & airport, the beach/bus stop into Heraklion and several sites. Great choice for trip...

This hotel suits me perfectly. It offers free Wi-Fi, a great poolside snack bar, and a friendly 24-hour reception. I fondly recall how the staff assisted me in retrieving documents I forgot. Highly recommend staying here!

The smoked salmon bagels were a game changer, like a heavenly bite of Cretan delight. The restaurant staff were super friendly, and the location was easy for finding local gems. Plus, the pool was clean and perfect for lounging!
Dinner was a bit of a letdown. The surprise menu was not up to par, serving food that looked rough and tasted even worse. We wished for more variety instead of those tiny joke desserts.

Our family room was spacious and very clean, perfect for 4 of us. Showers were super powerful, and those beds? So comfy! Breakfast was decent, but get there early to snag the good stuff. The room met our needs without any complaints.
