This hotel has a really relaxed vibe and is great for couples. The food was fantastic with a real range. It was great to have the optional al la carte restaurant included once in our stay. There are a real range of rooms including rooms with swim up suites and private pools. A few tips, let the hotel know if you prefer shade or full sun all day. Some of the suites were in full sun all day and may have been uncomfortable. Also, some suites are near the bar- the bar is quite quiet but if you want to have a really quiet stay (like us) I would let the hotel know. There is an outdoor venue next to the hotel. It can be loud a few times per week but the two evening when there was a gig, the noise was finished by 10:30pm or 11:30pm. We would absolutely return to this hotel. It has a really luxurious feel and the staff were all amazing!

This place is perfect for a stay off the beaten path. There are a few good restaurants, beach bars, and even a small dance club within walking distance. The property itself has a private beach with push button ordering service. The photo is the private beach area, always had a seat. I can’t complain about anything! We really enjoyed a weekend here. It is 15€ to Heraklion town center. No reason to rent a car.

Could not recommend this place more! We will definitely be going back. The staff was phenomenal, when we arrived we were greeted by a concierge who took our bags inside/to our rooms and made us a mimosa while we filled out our check in details. We did the half board so we got a buffet breakfast and dinner each night that had so many options and were very delicious! The front desk also made us a reservation for the el la carte dinner which was also free. The staff didn’t hesitate when we asked them to book us a taxi to check out city centre as well as booking an early taxi to get us to the port the morning we checked out, also supplying us with a box breakfast to go. Highly recommend this place! Absolutely loved every minute of our stay!
