  : Comms with owner Yanis before arrival went well. I was met around 9.30pm by his mother, Katarina, who gave me a warm welcome, checked me in and showed me to my room. The room I had booked was supposed to have a balcony but she explained that that room was a suite. My room on the ground floor opened onto a shared terrace which served me almost as well, so I didn't complain. The room was big enough to comfortably accommodate a king-size bed, a good-sized wardrobe and a desk and was clean with good wifi. The bath/shower was somewhat old-fashioned and the curtain clinged to me while showering, but the water was hot and the pressure was good, so it was ok. It was nice to be able to walk straight out onto a large shared terrace with direct access to the street. There was potential with this arrangement for security issues, but I had no problems during my stay. Breakfast was served in the bright, clean, second floor dining room which overlooks the Arina Beach hotel opposite and the sea beyond and consisted of a freshly-prepared plate of feta cheese, tomato, cucumber and olives with a ham and cheese toastie and plain toast with butter, jam and honey, plus a boiled egg, fresh fruit, freshly squeezed orange juice (with refills) and tea/coffee. It was generous and appetising. The apartments also have a sun deck out front with sunbeds and chairs, although they sit right next to a noisy, busy road, so it is not the most relaxing place to be. However, this doesn't really matter, as the beach is only 2 minutes' walk away. There is not much in the immediate area, other than a small supermarket, with a selection of restaurants about 10 minutes' walk away, but overall, it was a comfortable and enjoyable stay and I would come here again.
  : The owner had arranged for a taxi to be waiting for me on arrival, but my name was not among the many displayed by the crowd of waiting drivers, so when I called him he told me to take a taxi from the stand and to expect to pay 22-25 Euros. On reaching the apartments the driver demanded 30 Euros. I disputed the fare but he insisted, so I felt the I had no option but to pay. This left me with a negative impression at the beginning of my stay but for the return I discovered that the local bus departed from right opposite the apartments for Heraklion via the airport. Departures were every 30 minutes and the fare was 1.90 Euros from the machine (paid by card) or 2.50 Euros paid directly to the driver.

  : We (mom and dad with 2 small kids) enjoyed very much our stay at this place. The highlight of this family-run hotel is its staff - the owner is a very friendly and welcoming person, always in the mood to give advices and help. The girls who serve breakfast and clean are also really nice and obviously hard-working. The room we had was spacious, simply furnished to cover your basic needs. We liked the balcony with basil plants :). The towels and sheets had been changed regularly. Beautiful, kid-friendly, not overly crowded, sandy beaches are just across the road (we really did not expect it to be that good, and at the peak of the season!). The sea can get wavy, but our 4-year old had a lot of fun in there. One of them we visited belongs to nearby bungalows, but outsiders were also welcome (of course, we had some drinks at the beach bar). Overall, we are very satisfied with our visit and would highly recommend this hotel to anyone.
  : A supermarket and a pharmacy were not exactly a short walking distance, which was a bit inconvenient for us (people without car). The kitchen was very basic, the stove was a bit old, so we didn't do much more than eggs and a greek coffee in the morning.
