It was very nice, and the staff was very friendly. The city is very small and not very good for partying but for chilled holidays. The beach was also almost next to the hotel.

About 6kms from city centre, no attractions nearby. Bus stop to go to Heraklion centre is opposite the property. Breakfast is provided, but no restaurant thereafter. There's only a small family run restaurant nearby for dinner. Front desk staff are not very helpful in planning local sightseeing, but they are very courteous in guiding and arranging taxis. Breakfast is good. Room is fairly spacious and clean. Close to the airport, needs only 10-15 minutes to reach.

Very easy check-in and welcoming staff!
Great hosts in the morning and evening!
And they would ask if you had explored their wonderful beautiful city and seen the sights!
Awesome hotel stay! Great room with a view!
Awesome pool.
Breakfast buffet had different options every single day!
Very close to the Taverna Kphtiko Kona, about a 2 min walk from the hotel.
Close to the Market which opens at 6am.
Very close to the airport!
Great view from the balcony to the beach!
7 minute walk to the beach.
Also close to the motorway!
Anemos restaurant was nearby, about a 7 minute walk.
And car rental location or dune buggys for rent also nearby!
Totally awesome stay at this hotel.

Staff very nice, architecture was something special, good pool and overall a nice place to stay. It’s a rather small community and the hotel is on a main artery which has dining options within a 5 to 7 minute walk. The hotel itself has a breakfast bar but doesn’t serve other meals. The beach nearby is nice, we went to the Cicada Beach Bar for refreshments and a wonderful beach day.

Pros: Beautiful grounds, unique property, very clean and economical friendly. View of sea from balcony, walk to beach and local restaurants.
Cons: limited street parking on side street only, then enter through front gate. Mattress really hard.

We booked this for an overnight due to closeness to airport but also due to pool. Unfortunately the pool was unclean and green with slime, there were several people all wanting to use the pool, however it wasn’t possible. Also no pool towels provided which is poor. Limited dining options in the area. It’s not hard to clean their pool which is the main attraction.
