    We really loved to chill in the nearby The Lounge. Not far from Unoficial Fkk Naturist Beach.

    All was perfect.

    The hotel is located in a beautiful garden, creating a serene and picturesque atmosphere. the restaurants offer a variety of delicious food, catering to all tastes. the activities provided are enjoyable and engaging, without feeling too aggressive. there are posh restaurants available for a more upscale dining experience. the rooms are comfortable and spacious, with clean and well-maintained bathrooms. the service from the staff is friendly, helpful, and efficient. the breakfast options are extensive and include both continental and cooked options. the views from the hotel, whether of the ocean or the mountains, are breathtaking.

    Some guests have reported long waiting times at the bar for drinks when sitting, as they are instructed to wait for a waiter.

    This hotel is truly luxurious! the exclusive amenities such as the Spa & wellness centre, indoor swimming pool, sauna, and Jacuzzi were all fantastic. the outdoor swimming pool had plenty of sun loungers and the beach access was very convenient. the entertainment was great, as was the beauty treatment on offer. the garden area was beautiful, perfect for a stroll. The staff provided excellent service and the restaurant offered delicious dinners and a continental breakfast. Cons: the only minor issue was the lack of a night club.

    The views from my windows were very nice, the staff was very friendly and the facilities were very good.

    I wish I had internet in the room and drinks in the fridge.

    I was there for a conference. I liked the food and room offering much more than other conference hotels I have stayed at. I only speak English, and I liked how easy it was to speak with the hotel staff.

    I like to see local sites in the evening after work - restaurants, bars, ruins, etc. The hotel location made it expensive and difficult to get to the nearest place - Heraklion - to do these things.

    We had a fantastic stay! The hotel facilities were excellent, providing everything we needed, including ample parking and transportation options. Its proximity to the Kera Karddiotissa monastery, Lassithi plateau, and Dicteon caves allowed us to easily explore these fascinating attractions. Additionally, the location was convenient for our travels back to the airport and to the capital city. The staff were friendly and helpful in all areas, ensuring that our needs were met. The cleanliness was top-notch, and the breakfast provided was delicious.

    There was nothing we didn't like.

    Beautiful gardens, several fresh and salt water pools, staff was very friendly.

    The breakfast buffet was not very good. It contained a lot of cheap, unhealthy and tasteless items. But always fresh fruits.

    The hotel had great food and drink options which were included in the price, making it a good value for the money. The location was also nice, with a reserved beach area and plenty of room for lounging in the sun or shade. the staff were friendly and accommodating.

    The decor of the hotel was a bit outdated and the wait for drinks in the main bar could be slow at times. the noise from the golf buggy type vehicles passing by could be disruptive to light sleepers.

    Overall lay out of the facility/grounds and the beach front location.

    Ease of access to the hotel location, underperforming HVAC inside the room and limited parking for rental cars.

    The location is great.

    The staff was very unfriendly and inefficient. They first tried to redirect a friend I was staying with to another hotel, although she had exactly the same reservation I had. They also had us pay in advance, which is quite unusual. At breakfast they remove your plates in an excessive hurry. Upon leaving it took them ten minutes to acknowledge that we had already paid.
