The stay at the resort was great, helpful staff, pools for kids too, plenty of sunbeds, nice rooms, excellent food and huge choice on the buffet, excellent Asian restaurant. The price corresponds to the quality. 10/10 What would like to improve is the cleanliness of the beach, after a few windy days when there were piles of seaweed on the shore that no one had removed, and which had already started to smell.

This resort is probably the best family resort I have ever visited . I booked this last minute as a family holiday with jet 2 , but was very impressed with resort . This resort has so much to offer , not just for families but couples too. It’s also very picturesque , on an evening you get Beautiful views of the sunset overlooking the sea . HOTEL ITSELF : huge resort with loads of swimming pools . We spend the majority of the time round the kids water splash park and it was absolutely brilliant . Had no issues getting beds every day and my little 2 year old loved the slides and spending his time there . The base itself in the pool is good and not slippery as I was worried my little boy may slip . There is a pool bar next to every pool pretty much and the snack bar is very close to the kids swimming pool and next to the beach . Rooms : rooms are IMMACULATE, could not see any dirty surfaces or areas . Bathrooms are super clean and well maintained . Super impressed with the cleanliness as I can always be funny if things are dirty. The air con is brilliant and can set it to how you wish. We had a sea view superior room with a sea view which over looked the love heart pool . Only downfall is there was 4 palm trees blocking a lot of the sea view so Jet 2 should have sold it as a partial sea view but the view was still nice enough . The balcony’s are quite high which is really good as I didn’t have to worry as much about my little boy climbing up . My little one had a single bed to himself but he fell out the first night and he’s only 2 , the bed itself is quite high up and with no bed guard I was worried he would fall out again and crack his head open so had him sleep with us . Only thing I would suggest is having bed guards on request maybe for little toddlers . The showers are equipped with shower gel and shampoo , had I known this I wouldn’t have brought my own so will remember this for next time ! Also a hairdryer and soap in Every room too. There is a safe ,kettle and tv also . FOOD AND DRINK : honestly could not fault the food . Everyday you had plenty of choice and they always mixed choices up with different things . The quality of meats are excellent and there is a kids corner in the main buffet restaurant which Typically serves chips , rice, nuggets , fish fingers etc . Never any issues getting a table at any meal time either . We didn’t visit the restaurants as we had a 2 year old so thought we may be limited to what he could have at the individual restaurants but the buffet did not disappoint at all. Breakfast - always plenty of choice , from cooked breakfasts to continental, fruits , yoghurts , pastries . Anything you can think of really . They can cook fresh omelettes for you on request ect. Lunch - to be honest we spend a lot of time at the snack bar during the day , which is located next to the beach and near the splash park area . They serve pizzas , wraps , chips , pork gyros meats pittas , hot dogs , burgers , ice creams and sandwiches . Fresh fruit . Plenty of choice . Dinner - always lots of choice , different styles of things everyday . Meats are excellent , fresh breads and focaccia ect which was delicious . Lots of fresh cooking stations ! Desserts are just unreal especially the baclavas which are lathered in honey and just so tasty ! They mix dessert options up everyday too . Drinks - drinks are standard for all inclusive . Cocktails are freshly made , and are nice but if you want Premium spirits you pay extra . Disappointed they didn’t sell mythos but the local beer was nice enough . Also they stock your fridge in the room with water everyday . The resort has an onsite shop but it doesn’t sell a great deal . There is a couple of supermarkets immediately over the road from the hotel you can visit as well . Unfortunately the inflatables sold are probably the same as the prices in the hotel . If you can try bring a flat pack inflatable as we spent 15 euro on a small little elephant one for my little boy . Location : - 10 mins from airport - 20 mins to Heraklion town by bus which you catch on the same side of the road as the hotel . 2 euro for a ticket each way. - 20 mins to Hersonissos , which you catch on opposite side of the road to the hotel - just outside supermarket . 2 euro for a ticket again. We went to a restaurant by the sea called El Greco which was delicious and picturesque . We also visited a aquarium in hersonnisssos which is right next to the bus station pretty much , we went here to get my little boy out the sun for a bit and you can even hold a snake and there is a little tortoises and geckos just walking about ! Great for kids and cheap too! Both hersonissos and heraklion definitely worth a visit . Both are such lovely locations with a lot to offer , plenty of places to eat and drink whilst at both . Buses are frequent but you can ask for a timetable at reception. Entertainment - actually thought as far as entertainment goes it was really good ! My little 2 year old loved the kids mini disco every night and the entertainers were brilliant with the kids !! The kids disco starts at 8.30 , try get a seat early next to the entertainment location as it gets busy . The adult entertainment is also excellent , especially the Greek night it was absolutely brilliant with lots of dancing . Felt really authentic and they get you up dancing at the end . BEACH - it’s a lovely , sandy beach . You have staff raking the seaweed up on a morning which is a lovely touch as the beach looks much prettier without all the black seaweed at the front of the shore . There’s always plenty of room to stay by the beach but maybe suggest reserving a bed for the beach as it can get busy . It’s a brilliant beach for kids as it’s sandy but also not huge so you have the kids close in sight . Overall excellent stay . The weather was beautiful , we came on 27th of June and it was around 29-32 degrees everyday ! I have travelled to many resorts and countries over 30 years and would say this is the best hotel I’ve probably stayed in. Usually I am picky when it comes to hotels but I really struggle to fault anything with this and would definitely vote it a 5 star ⭐️ . Thanks to the hotel and staff for their service and being so accommodating! I definitely think we will be revisiting in the future !
