Top Heraklion Hotel Reviews

Bella Beach - All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful hotel, very well located. At first glance, you might feel a bit of envy when arriving on site, as the hotel is surrounded by larger and more modern resorts. However, Bella Beach offers everything a family with young children could need. The buffet is exceptionally good, so in my opinion there’s no real need to book the à la carte restaurants. The only downside of our stay was a small issue with the air conditioning. That said, the staff is truly friendly, and I highly recommend this place."

Aquila Atlantis Hotel

8/10 Good

"Great hotel in a very good location near restaurants and the Museum. The room was very clean and the breakfast was plentiful and included a variety of breakfast choices and fresh juices. I would offer two suggestions, provide more loungers and table seating at the pool on the top floor and set up more coffee stations during breakfast."

10/10 Excellent

"The most impressive was quality of food in buffet and the 3 restaurants. It's also perfect for families with kids. Cleaning was good, but missed some spots occasionally. The rooms are descent sized, comfy beds, bathroom was a bit small, but not a problem. What made stay great was that it was such a compact resort, but somehow they have "hidden the rooms" so it doesn't feel crowded. Beach is great, with plenty of chairs, pools the same. Amazing place for kids, as they kept meeting new friends, and parents could relax with a good overview pools and beach areas. Kids club had good opening hours and nice staff. Some staff members were excellent, some average, but they were all helpful with the kids. Food was beyond expectations. Top ingredients cooked very well. Exceptional value for money. What could be improved- Though most food was included, a couple of dishes needed extra payment. No roomservice was included in the Effortless package, but the ice cream shop was. There were 2 Wine lists, Effortless (all inc) + regular. The regular was available everywhere, the full effortless only in restaurants. In Bars only 3 wines, but all drinks included. Wine selection on effortless wine list could be improved, but a couple of good wines so no issues. Did not like shampoo and shower gel at all. Overall, for what we paid, we feel we received great value, our kid met so many new friends it was a great vacation for all. Will definitely be back."
