Reviews
Fantastic service with all the staff being friendly and helpful.
Breakfast was great.
Pool was really clean and nice.
Very close to supermarkets, restaurants and specialty the beach.
The hotel had a busstop outside and it was really easy to access Heraklion city.
I recommend this hotel to everyone thats wants to relax and eat good in a nice area.
It was very good for us.
I stayed over for six days and arrived around 22:00. I booked a half-board arrangement (so breakfast and dinner) and while breakfast wasn't the most exciting (mostly due to my own preferences, they had different items available, I am just a bit picky when it comes to breakfast), dinner was served from the menu of the excellent attached restaurant (restaurant Maxim).
You get a salad starter, main course (different every day) and desert. While I did enjoy the half-board arrangement, ordering a la carte is a recommendation!
They were even kind enough to let me keep my salad from the half-pension when I did!
Back to the hotel:
Rooms are cleaned daily and the hotel itself looks clean and tidy.
My only note would be the lack of a door between the restaurant and the hallway to the rooms to limit the noise from the restaurant. If you have your room on the ground floor, attached to the hallway to the restaurant and you sleep lightly, you might have some trouble with that.
I personally did not see or use the swimming pool (oops) as I was too busy travelling about and just went to the beach to swim.
The beach is closeby (walking distance), there's a bus stop for the local bus service right in front of the hotel (with the name of the hotel) and there's plenty of small shops nearby to get those last items you need.
Staff at the reception can help you with your questions and if you still want to go on any excursions, they will be glad to help you out via their connection with Tourline.
Overall, just a great experience. Huge thanks to the great staff of both the hotel and restaurant for the great experience.
