Hotels in Gournes Pediados

From the genuinely friendly hotel staff, to the gorgeous pools, to the complementary breakfast each morning- we truly had a wonderful vacation! They even have yoga/Pilates each morning which was a great start to the day! Also it is close to the Heraklion airport (15 min) which made travel easy.

This is a great hotel. The location is perfect for this city. It’s close enough to the main shopping but far enough from the noise. Parking wasn’t great but the city is mostly walkable. The property itself is gorgeous. The breakfast is delicious and workers are friendly and nice.

Great experience, very clean, amazing food. Only wish the pool remained open into the evening.

The staff was so accommodating. The room was beautiful and you cannot beat the view we had!!

Good access to the airport. Close to the bus to Heraklion. Staff were very helpful. The only wrinkle is that water in the rooms is non-potable so bring your own water.

Very nice beach centric boutique hotel with extremely helpful staff

Everything is great, very friendly staff, very clean rooms and rhe breakfast is rich due to 3 stars. 15' to airport and close to many restaurants and tavernas.

We bought very cheap flight tickets to Crete in February completely by change - never been to Crete before. Then we chose Venus Mare hotel after a lot of searching and comparing on booking, expedia, airbnb etc. In the end it was a great choice. The place is ideal for families - nice pool, quiet street (dead end), 200 m from the beach (not crowded and clean), everything in walking distance - bus stop to Heraklion and Hersonissos, the village on Analipsi, supermarket, car rentals, travel agencies...

This hotel is one of those places where you immediately feel like part of the family when you stay here. Everyone is so incredibly friendly, knows who you are and gives amazing recommendations for things to do and restaurants to visit. The place is so clean and beautiful, breakfast is amazing and it’s just enough off the beaten path to avoid a ton of beach tourists coming in and out. It has a really exclusive feel while being super homely at the same time. Highly recommend staying here!

Hersonissos is very chill. My hotel was fabulous- did not see a need to go out to clubs, etc., except for excursions, as it was all inclusive. There was nightly entertainment, 5 pools, several restaurants, and my own private beach. Very kid/family friendly as well as singles.

Very lovely family managing the hotel and restaurant - would definitely return to this property

the breakfast was copious and delicious with fresh squeezed orange j uice. i hoped for a sea-facing room. without my paying extra, they gave me one with a view to the harbor. very quiet and a lovely bathroom/shower. a plate of baked goods and decanter of Raki appeared in the evening. Lato gave me a free 15 minute massage session. Location was near the intercity bus-station and downtown. Lobby is pleasant, staff helpful. Really a wonderful stay, sorry it was not longer.

This was my first time staying at an all inclusive resort in Europe. I have stayed at several other all inclusive resorts in the Caribbean . . . Mexico, Jamaica, and the Dominican Republic. To be honest, I wasn't sure what to expect from this all inclusive experience in Greece. It was wonderful! From my first contact with the hotel to arrange transportation from the airport to the moment I left the resort, I received five star treatment. Each time that I asked a question or needed...

This is a hotel where both management and staff understand the meaning of service. All are well trained friendly, efficient.. This was our second visit and if anything the service and environment of the hotel had improved on last year. The immediate local area is a little tacky and off putting but this does not impact on the hotel grounds and there is at least one good café within a short stroll of the hotel.

Staff was excellent and very accommodating
