Such excellent staff
Becky, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

What becomes apparently immediately upon entering is the staff, friendly, professional, helpful and destressing. Loved the roof top pool and bar and the view and sunsets. The breakfast service was excellent, starting with the staff, the buffet was diverse, fresh, with lots of options and a beautiful presentation
Helen, 4-night trip

8/10 Good

Lovely new hotel. Great experience, made by the welcoming, friendly nature of the staff. Restaurants/bars/city sights within walking distance along the seafront. Nice pool/poolside area to relax by too. Nice breakfast. Would recommend a stay here.

Excellent! All food is perfect on the point!
Thore, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

The hotel rooftop pool and location were great. Restaurants were within walking distance. The hotel is in an ideal location; however, the rooms are not fully insulated, so you can hear street noise at night. The front desk staff were okay and didn’t provide a full 5-star service experience. Overall, the visit was okay, but I am not sure if I would select this hotel again.
Desiree, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

I really enjoyed my stay here! The property was very new, nice and clean. The staff were all so helpful and friendly:) The reason I gave it a 4 star instead of 5 is just because I didn’t like the fact that smoking was allowed in common areas and I just thought it was unfair to people like me who can’t inhale cigarettes smoke…I told the rooftop staff about it and he basically didn’t do anything about it and said it was allowed…..because of that reason I could even enjoy the hotel pool and view with fresh air so I had to go back to my room unhappy. Also, more protein options for breakfast need to be available for people who can’t eat pork…I had to stick to just eggs because the bacon and sausages were all pork:( But otherwise everything else was great! Would definitely stay again!
Fareedah, 3-night trip

8/10 Good

New property in great condition. We stayed in an ocean view room with a good sized balcony. The room was nicely decorated and clean with an excellent view to the ocean. Comfortable bed but had to ask for thinner pillows as the ones in the room were very thick. The thinner pillows were very comfortable. The rate included breakfast which was buffet style with an assortment of breads, cereal, yogurt, dried and fresh fruit, salad, eggs, ham, sausages, salami, pancake, assortment of cheeses, jams, and honey, several kinds of juice, coffee or tea…all very delicious! The only thing I’d do differently if I ever stayed again would be to book a rental car ahead of time. Instead I used the rental car company recommended by the hotel which, though convenient, as they brought the car to the hotel, was more than double of what I would’ve paid if I went with another rental company due to the full insurance package. Not the hotel’s fault but more so due to my poor planning ahead. Parking is available in the shopping mall’s underground parking for free which is located right across the street from the hotel. Hotel is about 15-18 minute walk to the main dining and shopping area of Heraklion, though there are several dining options closer to the hotel as well. All in all, a pleasant stay!

Un sans faute pour cet hôtel. Propreté parfaite, très bon petit déjeuner, personnel très chaleureux et souriant. Le seul bémol serait le bruit de la rue (musique) la nuit. Mais pas dérangeant. Je recommande sans hésiter

Heel fijn hotel, vriendelijk personeel, maar vrij lawaaierig. Ramen sluiten niet goed af waardoor er veel geluid van de straat tot in de kamer komt.
