Fantastic Stay!

clean roomfriendly staffconvenient location
I really liked my room with its two sunbeds right outside. The whole hotel was very clean, which I appreciated. The staff was helpful and friendly, something I value a lot! I also enjoyed the convenient location near the main bus route to Heraklion, made exploring easy.
The all-inclusive cocktails tasted somewhat weak, a small thing I noticed.
Location
9/10
The hotel has a good location, situated away from the busy areas. It is close to a beach and right on the main bus route into Heraklion. Public transportation access offers quick trips to nearby attractions.
Facilities
9/10
The pool facilities were nice and well kept. Rooms with semi-private pools allowed direct access. There is a snack bar open during the day that served better food than the main meals at times. The hotel provided plentiful food.
