Beautiful property right on the sea. Super clean and well maintained. We had the sea view balcony and it was perfect! Best place to stay away from the crowd but easy walking distance to food, bakeries and the beach. The staff couldn't have been more welcoming!

Great hotel right next to a beach. Great hosts, rooms are very clean. Ok breakfast- maybe it was limited because the hotel seemed half empty when we visited but it had a potential to be very good with just a few additions. Overall - nice place to stay near Heraklion.

We loved our stay at CreteCo! We had a beautiful spacious apartment overlooking the sea. The accommodation was clean, quiet and super relaxed. The owner and staff were very attentive and would go out of their way to make your holiday even more enjoyable. There is an amazing sandy beach and clear sea 5 mins walk away.

My family loved the stay in this property. The owner/staff was very friendly and welcoming. There were many families staying at the property which was great because we were traveling with kids. The property is just far away from the noise of the touristy side but still within walking distance of many restaurants. The beach is just across the street and it is a beautiful view. Definitely recommend this property and would stay here again!

Great family vacations!

From the very first minute after arriving, I got a great vibe! The hotel owner and all the staff fulfilled every one of our wishes! The hotel is clean and has a beautiful pool for guests, plus a lovely beach just 2 minutes away! There are also several excellent Greek restaurants nearby, within walking distance or a short drive. I would like to emphasize once again the incredible kindness of the owner and staff – we truly felt at home, as if we were part of the family! Just as an example: when they recommended a nearby restaurant, the hotel owner immediately called ahead, and when we arrived, they were already waiting for us at the entrance and even gave us a discount at the end! Once again, thank you to Mr. Nektarius and the entire hotel staff! My family and I can’t wait to come back next year!

Everything here was great. Staff was exceptionally nice and did their best to assist with whatever we needed. For me the only thing is that the pool is open to the public so we didn’t have chairs for the pool poolside and it was busy (weekend) and my kids did not want to swim, this may be ok for others. The local beach was beautiful and the sunsets were amazing.

Hotel with lots of potential

The hotel is right on the sea front. There's a rocky beach opposite the entrance and it's very close to sandy beaches. The rooms are laid out around the gardens and pool area. The gardens are beautifully manicured and the pool is well maintained. The pool has umbrellas and loungers. There's a bar/restaurant by the pool. The rooms are in need of some major TLC. The entrance door to the rooms do not lock properly and we had two occasions when we were in the room and found staff already in the room (there aren't 'Do Not Disturb' signs). The waste pipe of the toilet had a leak (which wasn't fixed before we left). The bedroom door was warped and would not close. Only the bedroom has air conditioning, so the kitchenette/lounge was very hot. The furniture is old and tired looking. The safe is small and has a key! It's also right on the flight path for Heraklion airport, with planes arriving early and as late as 2:30am! The reception is staffed by a very friendly woman, but it is only manned from around 9am until 5:30pm. There is no service from reception outside of these hours. The hotel has the facilities and location to be a 5 star hotel, but it needs work. They claim it's 4 star, but I wouldn't give it more than 3 stars.

The photos on hotels.con of the room were a bit misleading. We thought we’d booked a room with a balcony and sea view as that was the photo but in fact it was a dark room by the pool with no view and a/c didn’t work. Luckily there was another room available so we upgraded and stayed in the suite with balcony and view. This was really lovely but more expensive than we’d anticipated. We may have stayed elsewhere had we known up front what the cost was. Dimitri the manager was very kind and helpful even buying vegan cheese for the vegan amongst us.

Dimitris and his staff helped make for wonderful stay, the team are in their first year of running the apartments and have got it up and running in such a short space of time. They've worked hard to get things going for their first season,and whilst the property is still a little rough around the edges, i have no doubt that they'll continue to work hard at improving everything. The pool is lovely and no issues with space and sunbeds, the apartments are clean and a bit of a work in progress but you can see they're working to get them modernised. We had no issues withbthings not working in the rooms, theybwere cleaned every day and Everyone was extremely friendly and sociable and we would definitely stay here again. Once again, thanks Dimitris and team for a great week.

Die Appartmentanlage hat einen wunderschön angelegten Innengarten, auch der Pool ist sehr reizvoll angelegt. Das Frühstück ist reichlich, auch noch bis kurz vor Mittag einzunehmen. Direkt vorm Haus ist ein kleiner Kieselstrand, 50 Meter weiter ein weit ausgedehnter Sandstrand. Die Basic Appartments sind einfach aber zweckmäßig ausgestattet, mit zwei Kindern hat man genug Platz, da das Elternschlafzimmer separiert ist. Die Küche ist für einfache Gerichte ausreichend (1 Kochplatte, Mikrowelle). Die Anlage liegt gleich beim Cretaquarium und bei einem Dinosaurierpark. Einkaufsmöglichkeiten sind allerdings keine vorhanden. Man läuft 1km ins Dorf oder nimmt sich einen Mietwagen, um die Gegend zu erkunden. Insgesamt sehr gutes Preis- Leistungsverhältnis, wenn einen die abgelegene Lage nicht stört. Für uns Ruhesuchende diesmal genau richtig.
