There are very large closets in every apartment and more than 25 hangers in each closets. We do not have special hangers for dresses due to the fact that woman bring their own hangers with their dresses.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Arrived to be told overbooked
Arrived to be told hotel overbooked, Expedia hadn't paid money, too late to inform us although booked weeks in advance. Chose this hotel for the quiet beach side location as I have an autistic son. We were moved to a dirty apartment a mile away from he sea and having to negotiate a busy main road, pool had algae growing, utensils and cutlery dirty, shower was broken. We left the next day and moved to another beach side resort costing us most of our spending money therefore no excursions were possible and our holiday was completely ruined. I would advise anyone not to book this hotel as I understand this is normal practice from this hotel owner you will not get what you pay for! You have been warned!

Great apartments and food to enjoy
We stayed for 10 days with 2 teenagers. The apartment is so nicely decorated that we felt as if we were in our villa in the country. It was so relaxing, so quiet at night that we would leave the balcony doors open to hear the crashing of the sea waves. The big bed in the bedroom was so unexpectedly comfortable. We chose HB and the food was fantastic, and coming in big portions. We did not miss any of the sushi days. Try the Bodege Bay, our favourite. The house wine was very good too. Mama, Yiannis, Maria and the all the staff made us feel at home and we did not want to leave.

Relaxation in a corner of heaven
My wife and I have just returned from a week's holiday here and we already trying to book the same holiday again that's how much we really loved it.We were greeted on arrival by yannis the owner with a drink and chat about the local area and things to do he was extremely helpful.The apartment was clean and roomy we had a fridge and hotplate in our one,if you wanted a TV it could be arranged for a small daily charge same with air-conditioning.Although there's no swimming pool on site there is one guests can use for free just a four minute stroll up the road ,there are quite a few shops and restaurants in either direction as well as bar's.The beach opposite is a pebble beach but you can take a sun lounger from the apartments if you like or if you walk about ten minutes in either direction you come to sandy beaches with loungers on them that you can hire for the day at about 6-8 euros.There is an excursion centre a few minutes away to organise any trips to other islands or places of interest on Crete.The restaurant at the front of the apartments is run by yannis and his mum the food is delicious authentic Cretan cuisine and I would highly recommend that you have at least one meal there as if like me it won't be your last Themis and Eva who serve you are friendly and polite and very helpful about the dishes and wines . Excellent relaxing holiday highly recommend it

Good value apartments right by the beach
Right at the beach front, with sea view and breeze. Apartment is under the flight path on approach to Heraklion, but it wasn't continous and you wouldn't notice it after awhile.

Sweet Memory Apartments 1
Family run, fun place to stay. Yanni, Michael and Akis the chef,( great food ) all very friendly and helpful. Also Yanni's mum, who made breakfast, lovely lady. Apartment spacious, no frills but spotlessly clean with housekeeping daily. The Med a few steps across from the apartments and beach a 10 min walk away. There is a swimming pool and lounging area in S M A 2, about 7 min walk away. Good bus service, but 10 minute walk away to main road. Taxi needed from airport, especially late at night, (around £30) until you find your way re bus. We booked online £25. We got bus back to airport 2.20 euros. I will definitely go back there. Great if you want a quiet, relaxing holiday.

"Excellent holiday"
The Sweet Memory are excellent and we will most certainly going back again for another visit. Mama, Papa and Yanni welcome you into their apartments and make you feel like part of the family. I can see no reason why anyone visiting these apartments would not have a a most enjoyable holiday. The apartments face they beach and are in a good posotion for all amenities. Cannot wait to go back next year

We were very disapointed with this particular guest as well. If there was a review for guests we would have given to them1 star as well. It was a mutual thing. Is one of those booking that you get every year. Can't like everyone in this life, can't please anyone in this life no matter how hard you try.

palazzina sul mare, ottima posizione.
Sono giunto dopo aver preso un'auto a noleggio direttamente dall'aeroporto. Edificio difficilissimo da raggiungere a causa di una viabilità pessima e senza alcuna indicazione stradale. Neanche il navigatore conosce la via dell'indirizzo segnato sulla pagina di questa "sweet memory apartments", e ho dovuto fare la via crucis chiedendo info ad una miriade di persone. Rapido in ceck in, l'appartamento adeguato e posizionato in vista mare. Ho verificato la mancanza d'acqua calda e la prima doccia fredda, dopo una giornata in viaggio. è stata una vera scossa. La mancanza d'acqua calda si è ripetuta per tre giorni, finchè, dopo vari e duri reclami di molti residenti dell'edificio, hanno riparato l'impianto. Altre grave carenze, aria condizionata in camera ma senza telecomando e quindi impossibile da utilizzare, totale l'assenza di un apparecchio televisivo e senza collegamento Internet (quando in genere FREE WI-FI è disponibile in tutti i locali pubblici vicini, per collegarmi dovevo per forza andare a mangiare in tali locali). Di questo "sweet memory" l'unica cosa che si salva è la posizione, per il resto esperienza da non ripetere.

Buona soluzione, migliorabile ma sicuramente valid
Bisogna premettere che stiamo parlando di una soluzione alloggio economica, ed in questo contesto la ritengo adeguata e attinente alla descrizione, anche se è migliorabile in termini di pulizia alloggio e dotazione cucina. Inoltre il mare è vicino, ma di fronte al residence è poco fruibile, meglio lo stabilimento a 500 mt. Ottimo il ristorante. Giudizio complessivo positivo, siamo stati bene.

Apartamento agradable y la situación excelente,
Muy bien tratados, el restaurante con mucho encanto decorado. El agua caliente fallaba a alguna hora pero no importaba. Tenía pocos utensilios de cocina en el apartamento. La limpieza perfecta. Era fresco y amplio el apartamento, se dormía muy bien. No hablan español y nosotros tampoco hablabamos ni griego ni inglés, pero hacían todo el esfuerzo posible para entendernos. Buena cocina tradicional, rápido servicio y desayunos muy buenos. En general una muy buena experiencia.

Kleinere Apartmentanlage mit familiärer Atmosphäre
Das familiengeführte Hotel liegt angenehm etwas beben dem Ortskern, der aber zu Fuß entlang der Uferpromenade in ganz wenigen Minuten zu erreichen ist. Man ist ungestört von den größeren Anlagen mit lauterer abendlicher Animation, trotzdem nicht vollkommen abseits. Das Meer befindet sich nur über die Uferstraße hinweg unmittelbar vor der Anlage. Die Inhaber sind freundlich und zuvorkommend, es wird eine sehr familiäre Atmosphäre vermittelt. Wir haben als Selbstversorger gebucht, da wir uns ungern an feste Verpflegungszeiten halten. Daher können wir die Frühstücksversorgung nicht beurteilen. Zum Hotel gehört allerdings ein exzellentes Restaurant, in dem wir jedenfalls abends zu angemessenen Preisen gegessen haben. Die Apartments sind ausreichend großzügig geschnitten und angemessen ausgestattet, auch wenn man sich als Selbstversorger natürlich über einen vollwertigen Herd statt einer kleinen Doppelkochplatte gefreut hätte. Wir kochen gerne vor Ort mit heimischen Zutaten. Das Baden im Meer nur über die Straße hinweg ist toll, da man nicht immer die komplette Strandausstattung mitschleppen muss. Für kleinere Kinder wäre wegen des Wellengangs allerdings ein Pool schön.

This is not a 4* hotel The bathroom is poor We had to pay for AC
Response from Yannis on 28 Jun 2016
Helo there, Bathroom is poor and that is true. however, we are in the process of renovating them. As for the A/C it is clearly stated that it has an extra charge. I am so sorry that you probably missed that in the information package. Nevertheless, in all apartments A/C has extra charge except the expensive ones in which the A/C is already included in the price.

Sehr empfehlenswert
Wir waren angenehm überrascht, dass die Bilder der Appartementanlage und der Zimmer genau den Eindruck vermittelt haben, den wir vor Ort angetroffen haben. Eine gepflegte Anlage und ein wirklich schönes Zimmer in dem wir uns pudelwohl gefühlt haben. Die Betreiber und das Personal waren sehr freundlich und alles in allem hat unser Aufenthalt in dieser Anlage mit dazu beigetragen, dass es ein gelungener Urlaub war.

Un personnel chaleureux et acceuillant
Nous avons passé dix jour en crête et choisi comme point de chute le sweet memory. Désireux d'économiser sur le prix de la chambre afin de profiter au maximum de notre séjour nous avions choisi la formule économique avec une chambre en "semi basement". La chambre était très humides (odeur de moisi si l'on aère pas suffisamment) mais le ménage y est fait régulièrement et le coin cuisine est appréciable. L’appartement est spacieux et la terrasse, bien que semi enterrée, est agréable. Il manque cependant de nombreux ustensiles si l'on souhaite cuisiner un peu. Ceci dit compte tenu du prix de la chambre, on ne peut pas exiger des prestations haut de gamme. L’hôtel est tranquille, bien situé en bord de mer, familial, et le personnel est adorable. Les repas servis à la taverne de l’hôtel sont également délicieux. Je recommanderai ce type de chambre à des personnes comme nous, qui utilisent leur chambre pour venir y dormir, qui partent tous les matins à la découverte de ce magnifique pays et qui rentre le soir. Notre séjour a été exceptionnel sur tous les plans.
