Rendkívül kedves, figyelmes személyzet. Folyamatos, napi takarítás. Szuper strand 200 méterre, de remek a hotelhez tartozó medence is.

Dezamagita
Pros:

Aproape de mare si personal
Amabil . Piscina este ok dar nu te lasa nici macar cu o apa adusa din exterior sau ceva de rontait

Cons:

Micul dejun f sarac si zilnic acelasi , uneori se termina cate ceva si trebuia sa astepti ceva timp sa aduca chiar daca te grabeai . Nu aveai efectiv ce sa alegi . Cafeaua apa chioara .
Salteaua din camera ff uzata efectiv cu urme adancite in ea , se simteau toate arcurile , cumva am reusit sa facem sa ne schimbe camera si acolo era o saltea ok. Aerul conditionat la fel nu facea fata , iar cu dusul am ramas in mana si am facut dus doar cu furtunul … superb. Pereti in poze arata bine … in realitate dezastru peretii sunt si interior si exterior la fel zici ca esti in pestera . Veiozele de la pat extrem de ruginite . In baie cand faci dus uzi tot nu exista cabina de dus sau pereti de protectie si chiar si unde exista tot se uda toata baia. Nu ai posibilitatea de a alege daca vrei sa se faca curat in camera sau nu, nu exista acel pliant la usa cu “ do not disturb”. Nu au lift . Mereu cand pleci din hotel trebuie lasata cheia la receptie sa nu o pierzi dar este cand te intorci si stai cateva min pana sa apara cineva sa iti dea cheia inapoi . Nu exista un uscator de rufe , pe balcon exista o singura sarma mica lipita de perete unde abia incape ceva . Scaune de plastic f slabe pe balcon si fara masa .

Family hotel close to the beach
Pros:

The location. Very close to the beach, in a busy area but still not too crowded. With restaurants and bars closer to the hotel.
The swimming pool was nice, and the area surrounded with trees and bushes.
It was very clean.
The staff was very polite and helpful. We were able to check out later on the day because our flight was in the evening, and on one of the warmest days, that was very kind of them.

Cons:

The first night we arrived the room was looking very old, with cracks on the wall and a tiny shower. We asked to be changed to another room, which was better. The rooms in general were very modest and the beds very hard, with one too soft pillow.
The breakfast was not so varied after all. That could improve.
The hotel in general looks a bit shabby and old. The water pipes sometimes not working properly. The shower pressure unstable, sometimes too cold, sometimes too hot.

Weiter empfehlen
Pros:

Wir waren für eine Woche da und würde es immerhin weiter empfehlen. Das Hotel hat eine tolle Lage, zu Fuß kann man gut Restaurants und Geschäfte erreichen. Strand ist ebenfalls nah. Einzigste was uns nicht gefallen hat, waren die Mücken, die und die letzte Nacht wach gehalten haben, was an dich auch mal ne lustige Erinnerung war. Es gibt genug Parkplätze für die Autos, die auch im Schatten liegen. Das Frühstück war okey, könnte bisschen verbessert werden, im Endeffekt war aber alles da, was man brauchte. Pool haben wir nicht benutz, nur weil wir die ganze Zeit am Strand wollten, ansonsten sah der auch super aus.

Cons:

Alles war toll.

Pros:

I had an amazing stay at Gorgona Hotel and would highly recommend it to anyone. The staff here are absolutely incredible and provided the best staff experience I have ever had anywhere—they are so chilled out, welcoming, and genuinely make you feel right at home. The vibes are fantastic, and they went above and beyond to help me with local information, even preparing a lovely early morning breakfast on a day I had to leave early for a trip. The hotel pool area features a lovely bar that is perfect for relaxing, and the beautiful Amoudara Beach is just a short walk away. It is the perfect combination of unmatched hospitality, excellent facilities, and a wonderful location.

Pros:

Das Personal war ausserordentlich freundlich und zuvorkommend. Die Zimmer entsprachen unseren Erwartungen, waren hell und freundlich eingerichtet. Die Sauberkeit war ausgezeichnet. Der Pool und Garten hat unsere Vorstellungen übertroffen. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt.

Cons:

Beim Frühstück hatten wir die Vorstellung dass es mehr Früchte gibt. Leider mussten wir aufgrund einer ausserplanmässigen Renovation zwei Nächte in einem anderen Hotel verbringen. Das Hotel war aber sehr bemüht während den ausserordentlichen Umstände uns gut zu unterstützen.

En lugn miljö med underbar trädgård och pool
Pros:

Jättebra frukost i en väldigt mysig och lugn miljö med skön avslappnande musik och utsikt mot trädgård och till viss del pool.
All personal var otroligt vänlig och omtänksam. Det fanns gott om solstolar vid poolen, aldrig trångt. Lugnt och behagligt. Poolen var ren och stor.
Läget är perfekt nära restauranger och stranden. Busshållplats alldeles nära med bussar mot Heraklion och flygplatsen som gick flera gånger i timman.
Vi kan absolut tänka oss att återkomma!

Cons:

Sängarna var ganska hårda men för en kortare vistelse funkar det. Vi var fem nätter och det gick bra. Ganska lyhört men det var mest från korridoren utanför dörren annars tyst, även med rum ut mot gatan var det tyst när balkongdörren var stängd. AC'n funkade bra.
