This place is a hidden gem! 20 mins outside of Heraklion in a nice small town called Gournes. I honestly cannot say enough about this place. Staff is awesome. George at the front desk was very helpful and friendly. For example: we ordered a taxi pickup for leaving at 645am and he brought a bagged lunch to our room the night prior since we would miss the breakfast…..little things like that happened constantly. The guy at the restaurant was also a standout…wish I remembered his name. Every single staff member was fantastic. Rooms were super clean and ac cooled the room down quickly. Food at the restaurant was great. Pool area and the pool bar was perfect too, awesome for families as we saw or couples like us. Wish I could put into words how much we enjoyed our stay here! Thanks so much for the experience!!!

Nice hotel

Lovely hotel/suites about 20 minutes drive from Heraklion city centre. The property is very nicely updated, clean, lovely pool. We were 4 travelers, 2 adults and 2 kids (ages 10 and 12). We stayed in a one bedroom suite overlooking the sea. Our bedroom was large with a nice balcony. The kids slept on convertible sofas that were very comfortable. Even with the sofas converted to beds, we still had plenty of room in the apartment. The kitchen was a nice size, but we didn't use it and there was also a nice table and chairs. The bathroom was clean with great water pressure. The property has a nice restaurant, bar by the pool and offers the use of pool/beach towels. Our only issue was there was only one air conditioner unit in the apartment. It was located in the bedroom and never seemed to cool down the main area very well. The bedroom was cooled off well, but not the main area and the kids were warm while sleeping. Overall, great place to stay and we'd recommend staying here! Lots of great restaurants within a short walking distance.

Absolument pas digne d'un 4 etoiles... le petit dejeuner semble etre des restes de la veille L'état des chambres.... vieillit, la clim fait un bruit infernale. La piscine est pleine de feuilles Il n'y a pas grand choses à faire aux alentours, seulement quelques restaurants La femme de ménage se permet de faire le ménage alors que vous êtes encore dans le logement en train de vous préparer... Bref, il y a tant de choses à redire, je déconseille

Agréable séjour

Séjour très agréable. L'accueil est chaleureux et bienveillant, les chambres sont spacieuses, bien aménagées et propres. L'offre restauration (diner et petit déjeuner) offre un excellent rapport qualité prix, même si les produits proposés au petit déjeuner devraient être de meilleure qualité (jus d'orange, boissons chaudes entre autres). à recommander sans hésiter pour une halte d'une nuit à l'arrivée ou au départ d'Héraklion.

Wir waren als Paar unterwegs und hatten auf der Durchreise nur für eine Nacht gebucht. Wir wurden sehr nett und herzlich empfangen. Wir hatten ein Wohnzimmer mit Balkon und Poolblick sowie ein Schlafzimmer, ebenfalls am durchgängigen Balkon mit Poolblick. Die Räume waren sehr gepflegt, das Bett sehr bequem. Lediglich die Auswahl beim Frühstück könnte etwas besser sein. Ansonsten waren wir sehr zufrieden und würden das Hotel gerne noch mal besuchen.
