The staff were amazing from initial late night check in to the bar staff: he even helped us with our cases. Joanna looked after the guest’s whilst running the pool bar with snacks also available ( fresh locally sourced food) during the day and was very friendly and caring. The breakfast team remembered our dietary requirements every morning and the breakfast itself was excellent with sea views whilst eating. The cleaning team were also very friendly and the hotel provided a large car park for the guests with cars. Our room was ideal and had sea views and felt the hotel is in a great location with the beach and tavernas nearby and only 15 minutes from the airport. Very happy with our stay and would definitely recommend to others.

Highly recommend this hotel. It’s very nice & the staff are very friendly. George our bartender was amazing. Restaurants near by and plenty of beach spots that are walkable. I love how helpful they are with baggage and giving you a place to shower & leave luggage even after you check out. Breakfast was also amazing.

This place is a hidden gem! 20 mins outside of Heraklion in a nice small town called Gournes. I honestly cannot say enough about this place. Staff is awesome. George at the front desk was very helpful and friendly. For example: we ordered a taxi pickup for leaving at 645am and he brought a bagged lunch to our room the night prior since we would miss the breakfast…..little things like that happened constantly. The guy at the restaurant was also a standout…wish I remembered his name. Every single staff member was fantastic. Rooms were super clean and ac cooled the room down quickly. Food at the restaurant was great. Pool area and the pool bar was perfect too, awesome for families as we saw or couples like us. Wish I could put into words how much we enjoyed our stay here! Thanks so much for the experience!!!

Great sea front location (beautiful sunset), walking distance to few restaurants, and with friendly staff. Rooms were spacious and clean and very functional, though not the most luxurious (likely 2-3 star). Included breakfast was also good. One thing I did not like is that the access to the hotel and vicinity is not that polished (area looks run down with an under developed feel, even though the hotel itself is decent and well maintained).

Séjour très agréable. L'accueil est chaleureux et bienveillant, les chambres sont spacieuses, bien aménagées et propres. L'offre restauration (diner et petit déjeuner) offre un excellent rapport qualité prix, même si les produits proposés au petit déjeuner devraient être de meilleure qualité (jus d'orange, boissons chaudes entre autres). à recommander sans hésiter pour une halte d'une nuit à l'arrivée ou au départ d'Héraklion.

Wir waren als Paar unterwegs und hatten auf der Durchreise nur für eine Nacht gebucht. Wir wurden sehr nett und herzlich empfangen. Wir hatten ein Wohnzimmer mit Balkon und Poolblick sowie ein Schlafzimmer, ebenfalls am durchgängigen Balkon mit Poolblick. Die Räume waren sehr gepflegt, das Bett sehr bequem. Lediglich die Auswahl beim Frühstück könnte etwas besser sein. Ansonsten waren wir sehr zufrieden und würden das Hotel gerne noch mal besuchen.

Wir hatten ein Eco-Zimmer gebucht und mussten bei Ankunft feststellen, dass diese erheblich von den hier gezeigten Bildern abweichen. Das Zimmer war dunkel und nicht renoviert wie die anderen Zimmer. Alle Wasseranschlüsse waren mit Schimmel befallen, die Fugen in der Dusche ebenfalls und die Armaturen waren hart verkalkt. Aus dem Sicherungskasten hingen lose Sicherungen. Toilettenpapier muss gesondert im Mülleimer entsorgt werden. Wer hier einen 4*-Standard erwartet, wird enttäuscht sein: Das Frühstücksbuffet ist sehr lieblos, es gibt wenig Auswahl und man hat direkt das Gefühl, dass nur die typischen Speisen angeboten werden, um dem "interkontinentalen" Standard gerecht zu werden (Eier, Würsten, Bohnen in Soße) - vermutlich auch um den 4. Stern zu erlangen. Ausgewechselt wurde während unseres 7-tägigen Aufenthalts nichts. Zur Lage: Das Hotel liegt direkt am Meer, längere Sandstrände sucht man hier allerdings vergebens. Vielmehr liegen vor dem Hotel viele Buchten, in denen das Meerwasser hoch schnalzt. Ein paar freie Flächen mit Liegen sind abseits vorhanden. Eine Promenade mit vielen Geschäften und Restaurants gibt es hier nicht. Viele leere Häuser und ein paar wenige Restaurants, 1-2 kleine Supermärkte zieren die längere Straße am Hotel. Die nächste Busstation, um in etwas lebendigere Gebiete oder zum Flughafen zu kommen, ist zu Fuß in ca. 15 Minuten zu erreichen. Fazit: Günstig, aber für uns absolut keine 4 Sterne wert. Dann lieber 3 Sterne und die Qualität stimmt!

Das Personal war sehr freundlich. Mein Zimmer war ein altes und nicht so sauber und hat gestinkt. Vor allem die Nasszelle war nicht schön. Ich habe Halbpension gebucht und war sehr enttäuscht, das Buffet war sehr klein und nicht frisches Essen. Ich habe oft auswärts gegessen oder à la carte bestellt und musste dann natürlich einen Aufpreis bezahlen. Achtung da das Hotel so nahe am Flughafen ist, hört man die Flugzeuge sehr gut. Der Strand vor dem Hotel ist sehr wellig und nicht schön zum Baden.
