The stay

What it is actually like

The resort sits on a headland above Agia Pelagia. It has enough facilities for an easy resort holiday without needing to plan every day away from the hotel.

It is about 25 kilometres from Heraklion. Sea-view and private-pool rooms are available, alongside the main pools, spa and on-site activities.

My stay

A personal note

I stayed in a private-pool room and photographed the sea-facing terrace, floating breakfast and sunset.
