    Liked: The rooms were large and very comfortable. The breakfast was 5 star, with something for everyone and more. Very clean and a great central location in Heraklion. Staff were very helpful.

    Disliked: Room décor is slightly dated and according to the kids the swimming pools were small and uninviting. This is listed as a 5 star hotel and I'm sure it was 15 years ago.
