"Great reasonably priced option. I am a former local living abroad visiting and it’s super convenient, very good breakfast with a lovely view, comfortable, clean. Personnel is lovely. Likely staying here next time I need to stay in Heraklion again."
"A stunningly beautiful property on the waterfront, with staff than any HR director would be envious of.
From the wonderful check-in and welcome drinks, to the spectacular rooftop infinite pool, and a delicious buffet breakfast to kick it off, this place is a must.
Chisos at the pool bar - we miss you already! And your wonderful father, too - so kind and helpful.
Our room was perfect, the balcony view stunning, and everything else to perfection.
We will return!"
"Overall, we really enjoyed our stay. However, there were some things that I think could be improved.
Mainly, the bed was really uncomfortable, although beautiful and clean linen. Myself and my partner barely slept the whole time, it was like a slab of concrete.
We had a a terrace with our apartment which was gorgeous and had amazing views of the surrounding landscape. If I were to be picky, it would be nice to have more comfortable seating up there.
Air con works and was great.
You do need a car if you intend to leave the village, the location for us was 10/10. Beautiful views and easy to get to other locations as long as you hire a car. We didn’t try to get any taxis so not sure how easy it would be to book.
The amenities in the village were great, a shop within 100 yards and the restaurant is traditional with fantastic staff. Very reasonably priced, and they bent over backwards to look after us.
The apartment itself is lovely, although basic. You cannot really cook there, although there is a kitchen, as there were literally no utensils. There is no kettle either.
Be careful of hidden costs, the host text me halfway through the stay to advise we had to pay a €5 per day charge for a climate change resilience fee, this wasn’t in any of the information we had received before or during the stay - and we stayed in a different hotel on our last night and we were not asked to pay this.
As I said, overall despite some flaws, we really loved the stay and would stay again."
"The food was 10/10 at this resort. Everyday there was a fresh spread, the hotel smelt beautifully, and the staff was kind. Daria at the front desk really went the extra mile to make sure we were happy. The beds were on the softer side, and a bit uncomfortable but more pros than cons!"
