Mooie ruime accommodatie op grote afstand van voorzieningen en hotspots
Pros:

Bijzonder ruim appartement met groot eigen balkon en gedeelde ruime tuin met terras en zwembad.

Cons:

Zeer beperkte restaurantvoorzieningen, waardoor je al snel met de auto weg moet om elders te kunnen eten en drinken.

Pros:

It's a very nice small resort with a friendly atmosphere. The service is very helpful, the views quite nice, the swimming pool large enough and clean.
The rooms are quite large and comfortable enough, well-equipped with a small kitchen where you can prepare your meals. The interior could be a little more modern but it's clean.
A small village of Katalagari is a 10-minute walk away and there are a couple of taverns where you can have a dinner.
It takes since 20-25 minutes to get to Heraklion by car which means that you stay in the peaceful countryside but can easily get to the city to visit and spend time.
There is a main road not so far from the resort but we agreed that the cicadas in the resort product a lot more noise than the traffic.
There are only 3 parking spots in the resort itself but there's a separate parking for the guests which we didn't know about until we walked to the village and saw a sign pointing to it. You need to drive past the resort gate and go up 100-150 m and you will see the sign.

Cons:

Rooms could be a little more modern.
THE POOL HOURS ARE A MISTAKE. YOU CAN USE THE POOL ONLY UNTIL 19:00 AND IN OUR OPINION IT SHOULD BE OPEN UNTIL AT LEAST 21:00 AND EVEN 22:00.
