Amazing property and staff. I miss it already. Can’t rave about this property enough. The staff is amazing. We were welcomed with a personal note and champagne as well as sweet treats. They even packed us a breakfast on our last day as we were leaving very early. We were even given a goodbye gift.

Great Hotel outside of Heraklion

This was a terrific hotel about 25 kilometers out of Heraklion. It was fine for us because we had a car and the driving easy. The hotel was walking distance down the hill Agia Pelagia which is a cute little beach town. We ate at the hotel restaurant one night and were pleasantly surprised at the overall quality of the dishes we had- way better than a hotel restaurant usually is. The staff was great and the breakfast buffet was very good. If you are planning a trip to Knossos and the Archeological Museum this is a good option. It was nice to get back to the quiet of an out of town hotel. The only downside is they are trying to hard to be kitschy which is totally unnecessary for such a quality property. We loved it all in all

Small resort on the hill overlooking the sea. New pool is sweet. We had a hot tub room, which was perfect. We overheard others with saying the private pools were too cold to hang out in. Breakfast was delicious. Walking to the beach town nearby was fun. Roads are very narrow and dark at night. It’s easy to get a cab back to the hotel.
