Georgias Garden

My boyfriend and I (both in our early 20s) recently stayed here, and we had such a wonderful, relaxing holiday. If you’re looking for somewhere peaceful to unwind as a couple, I’d definitely recommend it. The poolside area is absolutely gorgeous, although the pool itself is quite small, so I’d say it’s much better suited to couples rather than families or those looking for a lively resort. The location is fantastic – the beach is literally a one-minute walk away and it’s absolutely beautiful. There were plenty of sunbeds available on the beach at different price points, and we didn’t think they were expensive at all. The hotel is also surrounded by shops, bars, and plenty of great restaurants, so everything you need is within walking distance. We also took Ubers into Heraklion city a couple of times, which only cost around £8 each way, making it really easy to go shopping and do some sightseeing. We upgraded our room, and it was definitely worth the extra cost. We were on the top floor, which gave us a great view, and the room had excellent air conditioning that kept us cool throughout our stay. The room was spotless when we arrived and was cleaned to a really high standard every single day. The housekeeping staff did an amazing job and were always so friendly and hardworking. The staff truly made the holiday special. They were some of the kindest, most attentive people we’ve ever met and always went above and beyond to help. The breakfast was excellent with a great variety of options each morning, and they also served delicious food throughout the day, which was a real bonus. One of our favourite things about the hotel was how intimate it felt. There are only around 15 rooms, so it never felt crowded. We never had to compete for a sun lounger, and the whole atmosphere was calm and peaceful, which made it so easy to completely switch off and relax. Overall, we had an amazing stay and would happily return. If you’re looking for a quiet, relaxing holiday in a beautiful location with exceptional staff, this is the perfect place.

Loved my short stay here with my grown up daughter. It's a lovely little hotel with the most amazing customer service friendly staff. I had messaged before arrival asking for single beds and a low down room but was allocated a small room with double bed on 3rd floor. I mentioned this to reception and a young man sorted us a room for the following day so we only had to put up with it for one night. The next room was perfect. Breakfast is lovely, lots of choices. We stayed for dinner one night at 25e pp and it was amazing!!! Just like fine dining so I highly recommend. Pool is small but pleasant area. Can access hotel from front or back as the road loops around it. Two shops selling everything with friendly staff very close, bar on end of street (Wild Rose) and a great taverna a 2 minute walk away up the street to the left. One of the longest beaches I have seen at the other end of short road and it was lovely. Sunbeds there but no one taking money for them. You have got to go to the little shop for tickets for the hop on hop off bus which are 20e adult, 10e child. Great value for money as they last for 2 days, not neccessarily consecutive days either. Lovely ride out to Knossos. I would stay at Georgias again but only for a short break again-we went for 4 nights, as there is not much to do around that area.

Down a side street off the main road, 200 metres from a long sandy beach. Fairly modern hotel but now a little 'tired'. We had a problem with our room as it bore no relationship to the photos we had seen on the website and was dirty in places (drawers and cupboards). It was also very small. A very helpful cleaning lady intervened and we were moved to a larger room with a sea view. Thank you Malena. However, the staff were very friendly and helpful throughout our stay. The breakfasts were varied and adequate. A lovely garden in which to relax and sunbathe with a smallish pool and hot tub available.

Just off the main road in Amoudara, the huge beach is at the end. The hotel frontage and reception area are lovely. Small lift which was a blessing. Nice dining area either inside or out around the pool. Our first room (301). was quite small but clean. I had previously emailed to ask for a low floor with two single beds as I was travelling with my grown up daughter. This room had a double bed and was on the highest floor. After speaking to the reception staff and explaining the situation, the young man on reception said we could change rooms the following day as they were booked up on the day we arrived. The next day we moved to room 106 which was a family room so more spacious and with two singles as well as a double bed. Nice shower/ bathroom. Toilet lid a bit iffy… kept falling down, balcony really narrow but we were only there in total for four nights. The hotel is clean and the staff in reception and dining are incredibly hard working and such lovely people. The food was so good too… delicious scrambled eggs! You can make your own fresh squeezed orange juice. We also had an evening meal there one night (25 e per person) and it was like fine dining! Seven little courses but each one was delicious. I haven’t got anything bad to say about Georgias but it is a small hotel with a small pool. The garden area is lovely though. Close by, supermarket (where transfer drops you off) and two other shops that sell allsorts, a nice bar ( Wild Rose) and a typical Greek Taverna about 3 min walk away. There isn’t a lot around but the beach is massive, views are lovely.
