We had a truly wonderful stay!
Kristina was incredibly welcoming, friendly, and always available to help with anything we needed. The location is unbeatable — just seconds from the ocean — and the room was spacious, clean, and very comfortable.
The area itself is fantastic, with restaurants, supermarkets, and everything we needed close by.
We had an amazing time and would absolutely love to stay here again!

It‘s been our second time at the hotel and will definitely not be the last time.
During our last stay we noticed some positive improvements e.g. new sunbeds, pool towels and a kettle in the room. They are constantly working on the property which is great to see that they really care about the comfort. The rooms are more on the basic side but they give you plenty of space which you will not see in other hotels. The breakfast buffet has many different options like: fruits, cereals, orange- and peach juice, coffee, hot chocolate, cheese, ham, everything for a greek salad, pastries, eggs in different forms, bacon, nuggets, fries and savory pastries. You will get a 1,5L water bottle each morning for breakfast, from the really sweet woman who works the breakfast shift. The owners are so very kind and nice, they will always help you with problems or questions. The Woman was so happy to see us again when we checked in which made us feel so welcoming. Her husband gives everyone who is new to the hotel a buffet tour and always greats you when you see him during the day. The cleaning staff does a great job, they will come everyday and give you a change of new towels and change the sheets every two days.
The property is right in the approach path of the airport, which could be a little loud for some people. The bus station is not far from the hotel and the bus takes about 25min to Heraklion. There is many things close buy (max 15min walk) car rental, supermarkets, restaurants, souvenir shops, hair salon, nail salon and even the aquarium.
We had a really great time and will definitely be back next year.

I had a fantastic stay at this hotel! The rooms were spotlessly clean and well-maintained, making it a very comfortable experience. The food was delicious with a great variety of options to choose from. What truly stood out was the exceptional customer service – the staff went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. And the sea view from my room? Absolutely unmatched. Waking up to that view every morning was a highlight of the trip. Highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a relaxing and memorable stay by the sea.

We booked this place due to its close location to the airport. The staff was all extremely friendly and helpful, especially George. The pool was warm. The ping pong tables were fun. There was a pull out rack on the balcony for hanging wet swimsuits. There is a nice beach club (News Seaside) that you can easily walk to. And the ocean there was warmer than any other place we swam at on the island. At least in the beginning of June.

There are some lovely tavernas along the sea front, great beaches. We visited the aquarium which is said to be one of the best in Europe and made a lovely day trip with the children.
Easy access to neighbouring area.

Gournes is not big .
Gournes is not big . Shops , tarvernas , fuel stations all close to hand and short walking distance to beach with lots more tavernas. Waterpark and Dinosaurs Park and Aquarium are all close by . Enjoyed by our grandchildren. Family orientated. Would recommend this to all potential hirers. Minutes from Heraklion airport .
