We spent a good holiday at the Peninsula resort this summer at the end of August. The hotel is cozy, stylish, cool. We booked a bungalow room, specifically to have a veranda, not a balcony. The room is spacious, bright, comfortable bed. The furniture is in order, the air conditioner cooled well, free internet. Clean bathroom, cleaned the room daily and carefully, no complaints.

The territory of the hotel in vegetation, many pools, but also many stairs and elevators. The beaches are 3-4 minutes away, there are three of them nearby, one is a hotel, where you can dive and the hotel bar is open.

The staff is very polite, friendly. We had a late flight home, we did not expect that the room would be extended to us, but we managed to do it at the peak of the season, only 38 euros and the rest was extended for half a day)

The kitchen in the hotel is local, like home. And we really liked the environmental orientation of the hotel: a minimum of plastic. Paper cups, wooden spoons, etc.

I will note the chefs preparing pizza and pasta - just chic, insanely delicious! Very pleased with the selection of fruits and vegetables. In addition, there is a corner for vegetarians. There you could find local pancakes and other goodies. I would also like to note the convenient location of the hotel, just 20 km from the airport. The ride is quite short, about 40 minutes by bus.

The hotel is located in a picturesque place - in the village of Agia Pelagia. Walk to it 20 minutes. We preferred to take a walk along the embankment in the evening, go to a traditional tavern. One of our favorite taverns is Edem. Local dishes and seafood are very tasty there. We especially liked the mussels and shrimp. By the way, the hotel has an a la carte restaurant, we also visited it. Came for a lobster dinner: lobster pasta, salads, appetizers and a glass of local wine were served. Tasty.
From the hotel there is public transport to the city of Heraklion, we took advantage of this chance and visited the capital. Inside the city there is a very beautiful fountain, a Venetian loggia and, of course, shopping streets. The walk to Heraklion took about 4 hours, we even managed to swim that day. As for the infrastructure of the hotel, I will say about a small drawback - the lack of a gym. But nevertheless, you can go in for sports, the animators hold sports activities every morning: yoga, aqua aerobics, water polo. The hotel also has a tennis court.

In principle, the contingent in the hotel is mainly adults, couples, young couples, but also with children they also rest here. We really liked the hotel, and the rest here completely satisfied us. We will definitely come back to this hotel.
