“Beautiful hotel in sleepy Gouves.”
The location next to the beautiful beach. The quality and diversity of the breakfast offerings. The room cleaning was excellent. Nearness to local tavernas. Helpful reception folk. Closeness to Heraklion.

“Loved it, just a few things they need to add.”
Absolutely loved the friendliness of the staff, the pools and the freedom to enjoy all the hotel has to offer, like the tennis and basketball. We loved our swim up pool room which had a great balcony and we could go straight into the pool from our lounger. The main pool area had wonderful sunbeds and a great bar, at night they had good entertainment here too. The shop on the premises is really good too with some excellent essentials like water, wine, beer and even shoes, hats and towels too. This was a wonderful stay indeed. The beach was absolutely gorgeous, loved going there everyday.

“A perfect place to relax and escape from the stress of daily life..!”
Great hotel, I was on my own and it is a couples hotel really, lots of places to lie by different pools, some quieter than others. a couple of days I opted for the beach which is across the road and the sunbeds are free if you're staying at the hotel. Great selection of food for breakfast, depending on your taste and diet preferences they had it all. The layout of the hotel is attractively landscaped, I was lucky enough to share a plunge pool with 2 other rooms, It was nice to hear the water falling into the pool. I had lunch in one of the bars which was lovely, but I ate outside the restaurant for dinner and there is choice of several just outside the hotel. The spa facilities are also excellent. I would definitely recommend the hotel and will go back if I find someone to go back with...!

It is a big hotel but very quiet and romantic. A lot of green, swimming pools. The beach is few meters away and all the equipment is free of charge. Excellent breakfast and stuff always helpful.

“Leuk geweest, maar geen tweede bezoek”
We have enjoyed our 10 days stay at this hotel but it’s not a 5* worthy hotel and okay to visit once, not to visit again. + food is great (even though the themes don’t match the food 🥘) + pools have a very enjoyable temperature and you can get in very pleasantly. - the pool furnitures are very old and not comfortable - The pool furnishings is not cleaned very well - My white swimshort begun the get yellow and green stains from the water… - The pool is very near the street and you hear the fruit selling guy’s record repeating all the time while you try to relax and enjoy the swimming pool + the room was okay + the cleaning lady really took her time to clean all the rooms and you could see this - the shower is very small, i don’t know if I could fit in in case I had some more body weight… - The airconditioning is not clean and does not chill the room fast - You could really hear the people staying next to you and as you can imagine they make sounds you don’t nead to hear even if it’s an adults only hotel - The rooms are very far from the restaurant - The hotel is more distanced from the city center as it’s described… Speaking of an adults only hotel: This is the main reason why we booked this hotel. - the hotel facing our room (513) was full of families and children, their big swimming pool was in front of our room and we could enjoy the sound of children all the time. I knew that we would be close to the airport, but I didn’t expect us to hear airplanes flying by every 10 minutes. After some days it starts to get ennoying… Besides those things the staff was very kind, and strange enough you could only see staff in the restaurants and no person taking care of the pool, waiters,.. The hotel works very autonomously and this can also be strange sometimes…
