Definitely not a 5-star hotel, overall a disappointing and frustrating experience. While staff are generally nice, the food was of low quality with very limited variety, the room was uncomfortable, and there was a general sense that the hotel does the bare minimum to justify its 5-star classification. For future Crete visits, I'd recommend avoiding the north-east entirely and staying in the Chania area instead, which offers better connections to the island's less touristy southern beaches and spares you from Heraklion's terrible airport. ##### Elhanan Stayed 5 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### nadege 1 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities J ##### nadege Stayed 9 nights in Jul 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Adrian 15 Oct 2025 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities Overall, bad experience, not what would you expect from 5 stars hotel. We went to Crete to get married and chose this hotel specifically as it was advertised as a great place for such a newly-married time with good all-inclusive buffet. However, it wasn’t a good experience. Months before arriving we notified them that we are getting married in Crete and it’s our honeymoon trip, however they didn’t prepare anything for us, not even a simple note. We even chat to the reception about this and they promised to prepare something for us but it didn’t happen. Further, we’ve got smaller / worse room than our wedding guests. Rooms were small and in poor conditions / old-fashioned, with gaps in the bathroom tiles, damaged furniture and strange smell. Once, they turned off water supply in the evening for half an hour while I was mid-shower so I had to wait for water to be turned on, whilst covered in soap under shower. We also asked to borrow an iron from the reception to sort out the wedding dress, and promised to bring it to our room, but it didn’t happen, when we called them after an hour, they again said they will bring it to us, but again didn’t happen so after 2 hours we went to the reception to take it ourselves. We got it but they told us that we just have 20min to use it, because they finish their shift and going home so we have to return it. This is not the treatment you get in 5 stars hotel!! It seems like the management of this hotel is a huge problem. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/62925c5f-de94-4b00-a4e5-08fa29409d7c-1760554755796.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/77d799dd-6de7-4231-861b-fd88c0d7c18b-1760554755137.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/561e6d95-6469-4730-8e28-efac716e1830-1760554755863.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/0bbca781-a347-4240-8d21-9d8ad47bd20a-1760554755145.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Adrian Stayed 10 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Janai 6 Sept 2025 ##### Janai Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Dominic 22 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities ##### Dominic Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### linda 10 Aug 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities A fuire ##### linda Stayed 10 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Frédérik 7 Aug 2025 Liked: Staff & service ##### Frédérik Stayed 5 nights in Aug 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Fares 7 Aug 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Ce n’est pas un 5 étoiles.

Certains méritent une rénovation donc renseignez-vous avant votre séjour. On a adoré manger dans les restaurants du complexe. Un régal qui a embelli notre séjour On a trouvé dommage la quantité de gobelets en carton utilisés pour les boissons. Et les capsules à café non fournies dans les chambres avec machine Nespresso. J’ai dû en acheter pour pouvoir boire un café au réveil sur le balcon. ##### Patricia Stayed 3 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Andrea Mervin 26 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities ##### Andrea Mervin Stayed 4 nights in May 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Melanie 18 Aug 2024 Liked: Staff & service ##### Melanie Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Robert 11 Jun 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities ##### Robert Stayed 12 nights in May 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Vanessa 15 Sept 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service ##### Vanessa Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michael Rubinstein 14 Jun 2023 ##### Michael Rubinstein Stayed 9 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 3 Aug 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Hôtel digne d’un 5\*.

Superb Excellent breakfast !!! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 6 nights in Aug 2019 ### 6/10 Okay #### David 31 May 2019 Disliked: Staff & service The property is dated but relatively well maintained. The problem with this place is that one can get breakfast, or 3 meal plan but apparently there is an exclusive plan as well. What does this mean? It means that while you can preety much have any drink at breakfast (water (sparkling), any juice, coffee, hot chocolate etc) if you sign of for the 3 meal plan any form of drink for lunch or supper is charged to your room! Utterry ridlcuous and a scam. It is in fact against the law ot deny anyone a glass of water if they ask for one at any restaurant in Canada, but apparently not so in Greece. Furthermore, one is hounded by staff for our room number at every meal and then the pressure to purchase a drink. They even go so far as to put boards around the water, juice, coffee that they setup for breakfast so that you can't access those. We fell into this trap for teh frist meal and were gobsmacked y the fact that water is deemed to lie outside of the three meal subscription. And watch your bill! we were charged for drinks we did not take. I refused to pay, I asked the duty manager to show me the chits bearing my signature confirming that I had taken a drink (that the servers hounded one for) and of course he could not. Slimy behaviour, some of the servers are dishonest. I discussed this with numerous other customers and many intended to complain. Don;t get me wrong, if I wanted a beer or a glass of wine, I would expect to pay; water, juice, coffee on a 3 meal plan? No! ##### David Stayed 4 nights in May 2019 ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller 12 May 2019 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This is a 2 star resort not a five star as advertised ##### Verified traveller Stayed 14 nights in Apr 2019 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [City Green Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hersonissos-Hotels-City-Green-Hotel.h10508153.Hotel-Information) > > [Aelius Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hersonissos-Hotels-Lavris-Hotels-Spa.h3584970.Hotel-Information) > > [Infinity Blue Boutique Hotel and Spa - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hersonissos-Hotels-Infinity-Blue-Boutique-Hotel-And-Spa-Adults-Only.h13446281.Hotel-Information) > > [Arina Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hersonissos-Hotels-Arina-Beach-Resort.h2459161.Hotel-Information) > > [Bella Beach - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hersonissos-Hotels-Bella-Beach-All-Inclusive.h1081456.Hotel-Information) > > [Knossos Beach Bungalows Suites Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hersonissos-Hotels-Knossos-Beach-Bungalows-Suites-Resort-Spa.h1744090.Hotel-Information) > > [The Island - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hersonissos-Hotels-The-Island-Adults-Only.h1789428.Hotel-Information) > > [Unique Blue!
