Очень хорошо!
Pros:

Нам понравилось все.Вежливые хозяева,чистота и уборка всегда была.Рядом море(метров 150),пляж хороший,есть и шезлонги и место без них.,до центра Ираклион тоже проехать недолго(на автобусе минут 20-25),большая терраса-балкон с шезлонгами,бассейн,все было хорошо,спасибо!

Cons:

Совсем близко супермаркет,много кафе и ресторанов с вкусной,разнообразной и недорогой кухней.,Туристические агентства тоже есть, несколько штук,чтоб заказать экскурсии.Вообщем мы всем были довольны.

Pros:

La chambre était conforme à nos attentes, idéalement située à proximité de l’aéroport pour une première nuit en Crète. Notre hôte était très agréable. Il nous a recommandé une très bonne adresse pour manger le soir.

Bonne continuation à vous 🙂

Pros:

We booked for a night only and we were surprised about this nice place. The apartment was huge with all facilities and a huge terrace with sun beds, and just few meters to the beach and restaurant. Mr Andoni and Kiria Eleni were so nice and gave us a lot of informations. We are so great full to find those amazing people and this lovely place. We will definitely book again.

Cons:

Everything was perfect for us.

A wonderful summer
Pros:

The location is remarkable because you can be on a sandy beach, but also in Heraklion. There are city buses to the city center and to the airport, which you can take after midnight. There are shops around for all the necessary food and goods, and in the hotel you can easily prepare something to eat in the kitchenette. If you rent a car, which is almost mandatory for Crete, the hotel has free parking and is close to one of the important roads, along which you can go anywhere on the island. The pool is clean and very well maintained. The staff is very friendly, and Andonis will always recommend restaurants with good cuisine according to your preferences.

Cons:

We often used the pool because the sea is often rough in this part of the island. Playing with the waves can be very enjoyable, but it gets tiring.

Perfect location with all needs met very nearby and the possibility to use the bus network to explore surroundings
Pros:

The location is spot on and the staff is so friendly and helpful. It is a family run business and you feel part of the family.

Cons:

The pool is very well orientated so that you can swim under the shadow on a very warm afternoon

Un sejur absolut minunat
Pros:

Foarte aproape de plajă, de stație de bus, curat. Locația se află aproape de capitala Cretei, Heraklion și de aeroport: se poate ajunge chiar cu autobuzul. Proprietarul și mama lui sunt unii dintre cei mai drăguți oameni pe care i-am întâlnit. Personalul de ajutor. Marea este la câțiva pași. Camera mare și spațioasă cu balcon. Micul dejun tot foarte bun.

Séjour inoubliable
Pros:

Eleni Palace est très bien placé, proche de la plage 3 min à pied, proche de l'arrêt de bus situé à 3 min a pied qui emmène à l'aéroport et au centre ville d'Heraklion en 25 min. Les commerces de plage restaurants snacks supermarchés sont tous accessibles à pied. Concernant l'hôtel c'est une ambiance conviviale familiale et le personnel est très attentif à nos besoins. La piscine est également très agréable et de nombreux transats sont disponibles. La literie est aussi confortable. Un grand merci à toute l'équipe pour votre gentillesse et votre réactivité nous reviendrons !!!

Cons:

Le manque d'ustensiles pour cuisiner tous les soirs mais nous avons opté pour des repas aux restaurants situés aux alentours.
