We only spent one night here and arrived in the evening. The hotel is very nice and had a small restaurant where we had dinner. The pool was lovely and clean and we were able to find parking for our rental car. I would have booked this hotel again on our return to Heraklion, but it was full and we couldn't get a reservation. It's convenient to the port and the airport.

Great location near the airport. Paid for the hotel to order taxi service from the airport. Was easy and no issues dropping off at the hotel. Be careful as there are two Sofia hotels within a few blocks from each other. Drivers have gotten confused
