All in all the hotel far exceeds the sufficiency, the structure is slightly far from the pedestrian centre, but there is a bus stop a few minutes walk away with which you can reach the small center where there are various shops and bars located here and there or with plenty of half an hour by bus with more traffic to reach the center of Heracleo, in terms of services and food the hotel falls within European standards, I stayed in the structure on the second floor and I can say that the structure is functional and practical but very 70s style, it would take a nice modernization starting from the rooms which are large, bright and clean The structure which is declared 4 stars in my opinion (I tour hotels and resorts every month) is a 3 star, boasts a large swimming pool and a small one for children next to it, furthermore to the right of its entrance it has another mini swimming pool with 2 mini slides and a small theatre, the entertainment team is committed to entertaining adults and children alike, they have an extensive weekly programme, at the end of the hotel there is also the sea, the buffet food is of good quality, some dishes are really delicious, others acceptable, only the breakfast did not satisfy me, but we Italians are known to be too demanding, the clientele I saw was German and in any case from Northern Europe, from the photos I expected more, rating 6/7 however satisfied with the stay Just one thing that I didn't like is that if you want to take a hot shower when you get out of the pool or the sea there isn't one (you have to go up to the room) I found windy days it would have been convenient to be able to immediately take a hot shower indoors instead only outdoor showers open cold

Bonne situation, plage à proximité sont, à notre avis les seuls avantages de ce Resort ! Le personnel, en général, n'est pas souriant, excepté ANNA au Beach Tavern ! La nourriture, que dire, on trouve toujours quelque chose à prendre mais ce n'est vraiment pas Wouah !! Notre chambre (124) était correcte mais les va-et-vient permanents des TOURISTES dans la nuit empêchent le repos !!! Bon ce n'est pas vraiment de leur faute mais ...

Well where should I start : Firstly this hotel is NOT 4 star as advertised-more likely like 2 stars at the best . We are in the hotel now so let’s make up to date review: Firstly hotel needs complete renovation as looks like you are on holiday in 1970s. We arrived on Saturday. Reception staff invited us for a lunch however no much explanation where things are etc . Food was just average until now - as I wasn’t fancy hot food and went for a salad . Had only one spoonful of beans and noticed it’s fermented. Went and spoke with staff who directed me to head chief, unfortunately he didn’t understand me however removed fermented salad beans from display. 5 min later ( what I’m assuming it was person in charge ) come over and asked me what is was wrong , again explained that bean salad is fermented ( she couldn’t understand meaning of fermentation so explained how they fermented grapes to make wine - used the simplest English I could ) she then started to arguing with me that sald dose not need to be kept in fridge!!! as it’s not cheese 😳😳😳this is absolutely shocking! I then explained in nice manner that I don’t want to be rude and causing arguments just trying to made them aware that is NOT acceptable to display fermented food ( trying to avoid complete disaster for others guests) . 2 minutes later the same salad was brought back and displayed 🤢🤢🤢 Rooms are clean but far away from 4 star hotel- fridge in room is empty. We only had a bottle of water first day and that’s all - they don’t top up fridge with drinks , not even water and worst part is that bar is shut at 12am so if you want anything to drink you have to drink tap water from bathroom ( this should be stated when you arriving in hotel ) ! Also no access to drinkable water after 12 am which surely is against law . Food is cold . Beach bar only display one portion of meat and when is gone is replaced with things called “fish sticks “ and “chicken nuggets “- mots grossed thing I ever seen as no fish or chicken in them . No lifeguard on beach 😤beach is full of cigarettes buts and other rubbish Drinks in all inclusive are horrible- only lager is drinkable. Also when you go to order drinks from bar , barman ignores you and serves Germans gust before you ( even seen you been there before them / complete ignorance). No warning signs to say floor can be wet - only today seen 3 people falling. We been travelling a lot and been in different hotels however this is the worst one , especially that we paid a lot more then few months ago in 5star hotel .

Perfect hotel, very nice smiling staff. Beautiful beach. We got a room in a bungalow, simple but great, everything we needed was in the room. The food and drinks suited us perfectly! We were in this hotel for the first time, but not the last!

Stayed here the last week of August with my friends . This older small resort is situated just on the beach of Ammoudara. Yet it´s a very pleasant hotel. The amenities are not the newest, but the overall cleanliness is great and I haven´t noticed anything damaged there. The hotel garden is lovely. The food was great and the variety was also nice. They use tap for wine, beer, water and soft drinks, so there was never problem with waiting for waiter. You can find main restaurant and a buffet very close to the beach and pool. You will never stay hungry. There is also a bar in the main hall and close to the beach and pool. There is a tavern where you can book a dinner one time a week freely. You can use coffee machine on the beach bar. The rooms are simple, not really 4*, more likely 3*. However spacious enough and very clean. The mattresses are downy. There is a safe und flat TV in the room. The variety of TV channels is just ok. I saw a water slide close to the theater. And there is animation every day and evening. The beach is very close, just 5 minutes walk from the main building, enough sunbeds and parasols. It´s wavy sea you will find there and its quite windy, so no snorkeling or swimming is possible, just have some fun in the water. Many might not like it. But the island is to explore, as it is a beautiful island and the people are very kind, food is great. You can start wit Ammoudara, where you will find restaurants, shops etc. Take a bus (Nr.1) to Heraklion and back (Nr.6). Special thanks goes to all the great, kind and helpful staff. Many thanks

Jak na standardy w Grecji to hotel jest całkiem ok. Pokoje wymagają odświeżenia , słabo wypada łazienka i brak wentylacji w łazience. Na terenie hotelu niestety jest masa komarów. Hotel ma też masę plusów, dobre położenie przy ładnej plaży, darmowe leżaki, dobre jedzenie , miła obsługa i fajni animatorzy. Hotel położony jest blisko lotniska więc transfer do hotelu nie zajmuje dużo czasu.
