The staff/owners went above and beyond in their attention as well as should there be any problems they with dealt with ASAP.
As our taxi airport transfer wasn’t due until 1400 hrs they allowed us to check out late obviously this is dealt with a case by case as the hotel occupancy at any one time may effect the possibility.

Gouves its a village, perhaps not as glamorous as Chania side of Crete but I liked it. Is a bit unpolished, I would say, not with that feeling of drowning under the - all included large hotel complexes and the tourist vulgo that comes with it. Its a more apartments district with greeks coming on vacations too. Plenty of taverns with prices ranging between; main courses 7-14€, drinks 5€ and cocktails 7€, breakfast 5-8€. It also has several Super markets, two of them larger with everything you need. All the above its at walking distance. 10 min with the car or moped from Gouves up inte mountains, you come to smaller villages like Hersonissos with fantastik tavernas and beautiful views.

A charming village, about 15 minutes from Heraqlion by bus (no. 2 from the airport).
Do NOT miss the Asteria taverna next to Lavris hotel: every Sunday and Tuesday a live performance of traditional Greek and Cretan music, with the beautiful Anna teaching Greek dances. It's not a tourist taveran (although there are tourists there of course) but aimed mainly for the locals. We will remember our two visits there as one of our unique experiences in Crete, and no doubt the most enjoable of them.

The day I was in Gouves the beaches were basically nonexistent due to the high tie and was very very windy. Walking along the sea was nice but given the nice beaches the island has to offer I'd rather go somewhere else or at least not stay there for long
The first room was very small ,but asked to change rooms with no problem,husband got dermatitis on feet ,caused by dirty water ,they could do with using bleach in bathrooms.other than that staff amazingly friendly,beds clean and comfy ,food good.on website says it’s hotel and spa so was hoping to relax with massage ,but didn’t meet expectations.good hotel if looking for relaxation,as a bit far out from main activities.
We had a perfect stay. The food was good and there was a big variety For the price paid. they Always offered different type of Salads and nice cooked vegetables which was important For us. The staff was super friendly. We really felt really good. You can easily reach the place by Bus from Heraklion. Pool was very Clean and nice beach from Walking distance. Family friendly Hotel.
This is hands down the best place I've ever stayed and best value for money. The staff are like my new family, the most caring and lovely people who treat you like genuine family. Amazing facilities, beautiful apartments in an amazing central location. We had the perfect holiday, and a massive part of that was this hotel. Couldn't recommend more!
Ευχαριστώ πολύ
Only animation guy George. That's all. There is nothing more to like about this hotel. We paid 2100€ for one week and its not worth even half of the price. NEVER AGAIN that place. We traveled in crete first week all over staying in different hotels they were way better. I wish I would never choose this place.
Pool and looks of the place were great and staff was very friendly and helpful. Snacks at the pool were great (although greasy) and drinks were amazing. We did enjoy our stay and especially pool area is very nice. I did some many things, but it is a great hotel for chill holiday without children.
The animation team was really fantastic. Great shows and entertainment every day. And the mini club for children was also very good. Our kids of 4 and 6 enjoyed it a lot!
The beach is on walking distance, hotel staff is very friendly, rooms were hygienic and cleaned every day, buffet is ok.
The apt. was brand new and comfortable & clean. The hosts were kind and helpful. Access to the beach was enjoyable & the location was close to the major attractions like the aquarium & Dinosaur Park. I definitely recommend this location & I would certainly stay there again.
Sensus was great and the rooms were modern in design.
Staff at reception and restaurants were friendly, very accommodating.
Hotel manager was very kind, as we arrived very early from Athens she made an exception to allows us to check in early.
The breakfast was acceptable but the same variety every day. The stuff were very friendly and polite. The room was cleaned very well, towels were changed after 2 days. Air conditioning worked well. The atmosphere in the hotel is very pleasant.
The hotel is very clean with large rooms, a pool and a good buffet breakfast. The owner and staff were so kind and helpful. Beaches, bars and restaurants are a short stroll away. And tour buses pick up just up the road.
Staff was very polite. It's also worth buying breakfast right away, generally the food was good. Great place as a starting point for exploring eastern Crete. I was with my family and we had a very nice holiday there.
The restaurant that is also run by hotel staff was very cute. The food was delicious. This hotel was well worth the inexpensive price! The room was very clean and modern. Beautiful view of Mediterranean Sea!
It is a big hotel but very quiet and romantic. A lot of green, swimming pools. The beach is few meters away and all the equipment is free of charge. Excellent breakfast and stuff always helpful.
Gazebo on the beach and near the pool were quite comfortable and free.
Rooms with a pool are quite cool, though note that it’s shared with 2 other rooms.
Hotel design is good.
Private beach.
Crete, Heraklion Airport, and the Aegean Sea are very good hotels with high cost performance. There is free breakfast and buffet. There are enthusiastic waiters, we will come again.
The place is pretty nice and modern, staff was very friendly. There are many restaurants nearby as well as tour agency. The beach is literally just across the road.
