Pros:

Kleine, aber sehr schöne gepflegte Apartmentanlage. Ca 300m zum Strand, mehr als genug Touristen-Shopping-Möglichkeiten in wenigen Minuten erreichbar. Mehrere Supermärkte und Restaurants ebenfalls in wenigen Minuten erreichbar. Bushaltestelle 2Min-Weg (Ticket 1,60 €). Sehr liebenswerte Menschen auf der Anlage und auch sonst überall.

Pros:

Perfekte Lage, in einer ruhigen Seitenstrasse gelegen mit einem privaten Parkplatz. Gepflegtes Hotel mit modernen Zimmer und sehr bequemer Betten. Personal war sehr nett und sehr aufmerksam. Fussdistanz zum sauberen Strand. Wir waren auf der Durchreise dort, falls wir wieder in Heraklio sind, kommen wir bestimmt wieder.

Nette kleine Appartementanlage in guter Lage
Pros:

Sehr gutes Frühstück, nettes und zuvorkommendes Personal. Nicht weit zu Einkaufsmöglichkeiten und Strand. Gute Ausstattung mit allem, was man braucht.

Cons:

Wir hatten Terrasse im EG nach hinten raus. Direkt davor befand sich auf einem Mast ein sehr starker Scheinwerfer, vermutlich aus Sicherheitsgründen, um den dort befindlichen Hintereingang bei Dunkelheit gut auszuleuchten. Leider wurde die Terrasse dadurch abends in sehr grelles Licht getaucht, was die Gemütlichkeit auf der Terrasse am Abend doch sehr eingeschränkt hat.

Nettes Hotel
Pros:

Sehr nettes Personal, ruhige Lage, gutes Restaurant im Haus, sehr gutes Frühstück. Schlafzimmer etwas klein, aber bequeme Betten.
Zum Ankommen hat es uns gut gefallen.

Cons:

Das Bad war zwar modernisiert, aber trotzdem setzte man wie früher beim Duschen das ganze Bad unter Wasser. Unser Balkon war nicht wirklich privat, da wir nur eine Nacht hier waren, war das ok für uns , aber für länger hätte uns das nicht gefallen.

Nagyon jó hotel, bármikor szívesen megszállnék ott ismét. Mindenkinek ajánlom.
Pros:

Nekem tetszett a környék, mivel én választottam ki. Nem közvetlenül a tenger mellett van, de nagyon közel vannak a strandok. Busszal 15-20 perc alatt be lehet jutni a városközpontba.
A hotel kertje nagyon hangulatos: kellemes medence, sok szép növény. A szoba/apartman jól felszerelt, jó állapotú.
A reggelijük nagyon jó: nem az általában szokásos, tojáson-baconon alapuló brit reggeli, hanem sok saját készítésű szendvics, egyéb finomságokkal.

Cons:

Jó lett volna, ha a medencéhez adtak volna külön strandtörülközőt, ez ugyanis nem volt.
Reggel nyolctól éjjelig, tehát lényegében egész nap szólt valami görög gépzene, gyakran ismétlődve ugyanazok a számok. Nem volt igazán hangos, de egy idő után már zavaró volt.
