A truly unique experience, it felt like we were staying at a friend’s place rather than at a hotel. Very homey and our room had a beautiful view. The restaurant was charming, with delicious food and we even had a group of excellent musicians with authentic Greek dancers in costume. Anther bonus - it was a 15 minu LP te drive to the airport. A great stay!

Nice hotel. It feels like a traditional village and i surely recommend it for families. The rooms were old and not well maintained which was disappointing.

I absolutely love this place and I didn’t wanna leave. My room was spacious the meals were delicious the village and the pool are beautiful as well as the surrounding countryside. It really wasn’t that far to the city, and yet the area was rural and serene. I loved hearing the goats , sheep and peacocks.

Absolutely wonderful - all the staff were really friendly and kind, the food was fantastic, everyone spoke v good English. Very clean. Massive meals - under-order! An absolutely beautiful pool and gorgeous views of the mountains, and a private little balcony on our room. Friendly cats visit during dinner (they go away if told). A brilliant experience.

Lovely alternative to staying in downtown Heraklion, especially if you have kids as Arolithos is a charming, self contained complex and is very safe with a decent pool. Terrific views down to bay and up to fabulous mountains. Nice outdoor restaurant terrace. Delicious wholesome Cretan food menu for both breakfast and dinner. Rooms are charming with balcony terraces and air conditioning. However, the only negative, the beds and mattresses feel like they have been unchanged for thirty years and are especially uncomfortable. Time for the management to reinvest as for me it was the only serious negative criticism.

Nonostante fosse un villaggio di un certo livello abbiamo avuto il bagno inutilizzabile - facendo la doccia usciva l'acqua dalla grata del pavimento e non scendeva dalla vasca. Al momento del pagamento ho dovuto pagare 14 euro per tassa locale che, a mio avviso, avevo già pagato a mezzo Expedia ma, anche mostrando la ricevuta, mi hanno detto di sentire Expedia perchè non capivano il motivo del doppio pagamento...assurdo!

Insgesamt din sehr schönes, traditionelles Hotel welches einer traditionellen Siedlung nachempfunden wurde. Die Aussicht ist sehr einladend und das Personal ausgesprochen zuvorkommend. Allerdings ist zu erwähnen, dass des öfteren große Hochzeitsfeiern in der Anlage stattfinddn, weshalb es nachts sehr laut werden kann. Parkplätze sind dann ebenfalls keine mehr zu finden. Trotzdem insgesamt empfehlenswert, wenn man bei nächtlichem Lärm gut schlafen kann und auf Parkplätze direkt vor dem Hotel keinen Wert legt.

Bellissima struttura caratteristica del luogo tutta in pietra e legno. Ideale per chi ama la natura la pace e il silenzio e non fli ambienti lussuosi e sfarzosi. Ottima la piscina e bello l'allestimento della zona di ristorazione personale gentile ed accogliente. La colazio e ricca di prodotti genuini. Consigliato a chi ama il relax totale.

Staff très sympathique, belle propriété. Les moins : literie médiocre, plomberie vetuste (douche et lavabo), eau de la piscine un peu trouble, et une perruche en cage (qui préférait sans doute voler librement).
