⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An Exceptional Seaside Experience – Simply Unforgettable!
From the moment we arrived, everything about our stay exceeded our expectations. This is truly one of those rare places that leaves a lasting impression long after you have returned home.
The hotel is absolutely beautiful, perfectly located right on the seafront, with the most wonderful atmosphere of elegance, tranquility and relaxation. Waking up so close to the sea was simply magical. Every detail was thoughtfully taken care of, and throughout our entire stay, everything felt effortless, comfortable and beautifully maintained.
What made our experience truly exceptional, however, was the outstanding staff. Every single person we met was warm, welcoming, attentive and genuinely kind. The level of hospitality was remarkable – professional yet personal, making us feel not simply like hotel guests, but truly cared for. This kind of service is rare and deserves special recognition.
And then there is the restaurant – an experience in itself.
The food was absolutely outstanding. Every dish was beautifully presented, full of flavour and prepared with exceptional attention to quality. Dining here became one of the highlights of our stay. The combination of wonderful cuisine, beautiful surroundings and impeccable service made every meal feel special.
There are many beautiful hotels, but very few places have that unique ability to make you genuinely sad to leave. This is one of them.
A spectacular seaside location, exceptional food, wonderful atmosphere and, above all, extraordinary people who clearly put their heart into what they do.
We left with beautiful memories and one certainty: we will absolutely return.
Thank you to the entire team for making our stay so special and unforgettable. ❤️
Without hesitation, 10/10 – and one of our highest recommendations.
Exceptional experience, amazing staff. Cannot fault this hotel.
Have booked to go back next year...
Nothing...
The view, the cleanness, the kindness of the staff
Nothing
L’emplacement, le restaurant avec un petit déjeuner extra ordinaire et les plats, que ce soit du poisson ou de la viande tous très très bon. Professionnalisme des serveurs et sympathie de tous les employés.
Le mobilier des chambres est vieillot et mériterait d’être changé
Overall, we had a nice experience. First of all, almost all of the staff members were very friendly, helpful, and accommodating whenever communication allowed (more on this in the negative points below).
We really liked the location of the hotel. It is not particularly close to Heraklion city centre, which was actually what we wanted, but the city is still easily reachable by taxi at a reasonable price. There are also city buses available within about a 7–8 minute walk from the hotel.
The hotel has its own beachfront area with comfortable sunbeds and umbrellas. One thing worth mentioning—although I would not consider this a negative point about the hotel itself—is that the beach and sea were quite windy during most of our stay, with fairly large waves. If you are not a confident swimmer, you may not always feel comfortable swimming there. On the positive side, the breeze made the heat much more pleasant while relaxing on the beach.
We were given a corner room with a sea view, and the view was terrific. Being on the corner also meant that we got plenty of wind, which we personally really enjoyed. The room was comfortable overall, although it was showing some signs of wear and tear in places (more on this below).
Housekeeping was good and reliable. Our toiletries were replenished every day, and the bins were emptied daily, so we had no issues in that regard.
The balcony doors and windows also provided surprisingly good sound insulation. There was a restaurant directly in front of our room, but once the doors were closed, we could barely hear the music from outside. The air conditioning worked reliably throughout our stay and was not excessively loud.
Finally, their homemade lemonades and a soft drink called Cicada were highlights of our dinners. Some of the dinner dishes were also very tasty, although unfortunately our overall experience with the food was more mixed, as explained below.
As someone with dietary restrictions, I found the food difficult to navigate. Neither the breakfast buffet nor the half-board menu listed ingredients or dietary labels (vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal, kosher, alcohol-free, etc.), so we regularly had to ask the staff what we could eat. They were generally very helpful and accommodating, but having to clarify or negotiate alternatives at almost every meal added unnecessary effort to a relaxing holiday.
The half-board menu was also quite repetitive and became unexciting after about three days. Vegetarian main dish options were sometimes missing altogether and required modifications. For longer stays, I would recommend the à la carte menu or trying restaurants nearby or in Heraklion instead.
Communication occasionally made this more difficult. While some waiters spoke very good English, others struggled with questions or requests beyond what was directly written on the menu.
The dinner music was also not to our taste. We actually normally like many of the songs played there, but the electronic/techno-style remixes were distracting and sometimes made us leave dinner earlier.
The room was comfortable but showed signs of wear and could use some maintenance. The curtains were sun-discoloured at places, some furniture was dented, and the refrigerator door did not close properly. The bathroom needed particular attention: the shower head was rusty, the toilet seat would not stay in place properly, and water from the walk-in shower leaked onto the bathroom floor.
Overall, we still had a pleasant stay thanks to the location, sea view, beachfront, housekeeping, and friendly staff. However, the food experience—particularly for guests with dietary restrictions—and the room maintenance could be improved.

Herşey güzeldi
Sehr leckeres und vielfältiges Frühstück. Halbpension mit sehr gutem 4-Gänge-Menü, auch abwechslungsreich und sehr schmackhaft. Sushi und Hummer a la carte sehr gut.
Personal sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit.
Strand und Strandliegen sehr angenehm, jedoch in unserer Zeit viel Wind und Steine am Einstieg ins Wasser.
Η τοποθεσία πολύ ωραία.
Τα δωμάτια θέλουν ανανέωση. Το πρόγευμα πολύ καλό αλλά το φαγητό στο εστιατόριο ιδικά το ψήσιμο δεν ήτανε ωραίο. Over cooked.
L’emplacement face a la mer, les transats gratuit et très confortables.
Le personnel très gentil.
Hotel direkt am Strand
Frühstück ein wenig zu langweilig
Le personnel était très à l'écoute et très sympathique, nous avons passé un très bon séjour, nous les remercions.
