Lovely resort. Helpful and friendly staff, great rooms and overall facilities. I also had a spa treatment that was outstanding. We were grateful for the late check out and that the additional cost also included lunch. Can't wait to stay again!

Άριστη επιλογή για 5 αστέρια ξενοδοχείο
Ίσως το πιο καθαρό και ωραίο 5 αστέρια ξενοδοχείο που έχω μείνει , το προσωπικό πάρα πολύ ευγενικό και εξυπηρετικό, κάναμε αναβάθμιση στο δωμάτιο και μείναμε στο δωμάτιο με το τζακουζι στο μπαλκόνι, πιστεύω καλύτερη επιλογή και από το δωμάτιο με την πισίνα, ο μπουφές για το πρωινό και το βραδινό ήταν πάρα πολύ νόστιμος. Στα θετικά επίσης το άνετο πάρκινγκ , η καθημερινή αλλαγή εκτός των πετσετών , των σεντονιων και ο καθαρισμός του τζακουζι Τα λίγα αρνητικά είναι , ότι ο μπουφές ήταν νόστιμος αλλά με λίγες επιλογές όμως , το μέτριο WiFi σε όλους τους χώρους του ξενοδοχείου και η μη επιλογή για all inclusive

Amazing stay!!! Would highly recommend
Wonderful relaxing stay. Everything was amazing! I would stay here again without hesitation. Only suggestion would be to offer free water with meals and maybe free soft drinks. I understand alcohol cannot be offered free but at least water? The hotel is settled in a small town that is walkable right outside the main gates. Lots of restaurants and cute shops. Not far from main town Heraklion (25 min drive) and also close to airport (20 min). Staff is very friendly and accommodating. Pools were heated which was a lovely surprise. Very relaxing and peaceful
One of three pools
Beautiful view from our room
The food was amazing!!!
Themed menus each night from Italian to Asian to local cuisine. Food was superb!!!

a waste of money-Not a 5* hotel, food was bad.
even though the dining staff was nice, the food was horrible! we as a family ended up eating just the sweet/dessert but it was still bad, not much choices, even though we had 1/2 stay, we ended up eating out & willing to spend in restaurant than to eat there. This place is not a 5* hotel is more like a 3.5*
