"We booked a bright room with windows based on advertised photos but were placed in Unit 4A—a dark, ground-floor corner room with zero natural ventilation. While every adjacent unit had proper windows and active exhaust fans, our room lacked basic livability and safety standards. Management needs to understand that you simply do not put a family in a room like this. The air was so stale and musty that we had to run a dehumidifier constantly and leave our main entrance door wide open just to...

"Upon arrival we had a few issues with the property, but the owner sorted these for us straight away. The villa was amazing! Clean and bright with great outdoor space. The pool was perfect, as was the view. 'Martin' the visiting cat was a welcome guest! Highly recommend this place for a stay!"

"We enjoyed our stay here - the staff answered messages quickly, and the room although basic had everything needed for a few nights stay including a small well equipped kitchen area (kettle, coffee machine, stove hob). Bathroom was small but perfectly useable. A bit more information about the area would be useful but that's what the internet is for. Check in was via a coded key pick up. The location is about 15 minutes walk from main areas of the town. "

"A very beautiful and well kept mini hotel! It security and a beautiful view. My one recommendation to travellers is to be comfortable with driving on steep driveways."

"A beautifully maintained resort with great amenities, though room logistics could be smoother.
Overall, the resort was beautiful and well-maintained. The location is convenient, with several shops and restaurants within walking distance. Most of the staff were helpful and welcoming, though a few felt slightly distant—perhaps due to a language barrier, as I do not speak Greek.
Our stay had a rocky start when our reserved room wasn't available on the first night. I was placed in a bungalow and told it was an upgrade. However, once I moved into my actual reversed room the next day, I realized the reserved room was significantly better. It was modern, upgraded, and featured a wonderful view, whereas the bungalow's (room 654) view was largely blocked by a large tree. Additionally, the bathroom sink water had a strong, unpleasant odor throughout my entire stay.
The dining experience was typical for a resort—a mix of great, average, and mediocre options. My friends and I dined at the main buffet and the Italian restaurant, enjoying both. They offered a wide variety of choices, and the bread, crepes, lamb, and drinks were personal highlights.
The pool & beach areas were kept spotless, with attentive staff ensuring guests were comfortable. A special shoutout goes to the spa team, especially Erika and her colleague, who were incredibly friendly and kind while booking guests around the property.
Tip: The bungalow featured an international converter outlet that should added to all rooms."
"We booked our stay months in advance of our trip. Yet when we arrived at 11pm at night (my wife, I, 2 children and the Mother In Law we were told the room wasn’t ready(?!) and they would have to put another bed in a different room so we could all fit in. That led to a half hour delay (not welcome at that time of night with young children) and worse still we would have to move rooms the next day…hotel is good for a city centre location, but that really poor start left a bad taste in the mouth…."
"Rooms were large and clean. The staff were great and did all they could to make our stay memorable. The pool was great and the food was excellent, breakfast, lunch and dinner were all very well done. The only caveat to that was the Tomatini restaurant which to our surprise was a little disappointing.
This part of the island flies under the radar and is an absolute gem."
"We stayed at what is advertised as a 2 bedroom family room, but basically it is 1 room with a hole in the middle for TV connected to a lounge with two beds. There is only one aircon so the people sleeping in the room will be ok but the people in the lounge may be hot during the night (that is what my children said). The room was clean.
The best is the location as walkung distance to all the sights in Heraklion and 12 minyte walk to the Archaelogical museum
We stayed for one night as we had another accommodation in the island but wanted to visit Knossos and the museum. It is great and convenient for a night or two.
It has a car park that charges 10 euros for 24 hours, which is ok priced for Crete.
The staff was welcoming and helpful
The breakfast was ok.
At 111 pounds for one night for four people, it was a bargain."
