This hotel has exceeded every expectation. It was the cheapest but the hotel was fabulous. It was super clean. The pool was crystal clear and the outdoors was beautifully landscaped and immaculate. There was even table tennis provided outside. The rooms also came with a hair dryer. Everything about our stay was spectacular. the staff was very helpful and friendly and changed my room to a different one with no issues. Deserves 10 stars

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.

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.

The Holiday Starts Here
A gem of a small, friendly and welcoming hotel, only 5 minutes (€15) from Heraklion airport. An ideal stopping off point, but also good for local exploration. The food, accommodation facilities and staff could not be bettered.
