Our stay was excellent. The staff is all so pleasant and happy. Housekeeping was so friendly and accommodating. The service in all the restaurants was above and beyond. The only part we were disappointed in was the front desk. Not as pleasant as everyone else . We felt we were a bother, except when we checked in Faye was outstanding. It was not everyone just a few that had a difficult time be friendly and smiling.

Overall, the property itself was OK. Rooms are outdated. Service is good but food is mediocre. But one thing I would definitely stay away from is booking any trips through the hotel. There is price gouging. The hotel charged me almost $800 to go for 4 hours to the ancient ruins and a museum. The cost of the trip was outrageous and the hotel refused to accommodate my concerns. Their description of the tour and the cost did not justify or reflect the services that were provided.

One of the premier, luxury hotel resorts in Crete. Not far from Heraklion. Staff are very professional, warm, and welcoming. The place has its own private beach area reserved for hotel guests. Breakfast and dining area is fantastic, lovely ambience, and variety of options within the resort. There is a convenience store within the resort and other shops which is nice. Night time entertainment / performance offers really nice atmosphere with tranquility. Plenty of activities to do whether it's outdoor yoga, gym, tennis, paddle, football, swimming, and beach. They have outdoor and indoor gym. I believe the resort can upgrade the gym equipment for their outdoor space. Some of equipment was not very comfortable. I had an early morning checkout, the hotel reception staff were so nice to have prepared a breakfast box to go. A really nice gesture. Would definitely recommend this hotel, especially if you are traveling family.

The outdoor area of this place is amazing, stunning. The rooms are very comfortable and the staff is very accommodating and friendly. Service is a bit slow but friendly. Food and drinks fantastic. The Wi-Fi is very slow. We asked and were given an in room router which made it much better. The bathrooms are a bit strange… the toilet was in a small little corner with a wall right in front of you and the shower very small with no door so water was everywhere after each shower. The big bathtub was lovely. Overall a fantastic experience! Private pool was amazing too!
