We had a memorable stay at this resort in Heraklion, enjoying the beautiful sea views and well-equipped family room. While the clean and stunning grounds added to the charm, the experience was marred by cold pools and the lack of family-friendly activities. The food was excellent, but service was often slow, especially during meal times. Despite some drawbacks, we made the most of our time here.

This hotel offers an incredible experience, featuring beautifully designed grounds and attentive employees who cater to every need.

Our stay at Grecotel Amirandes was truly unforgettable! The best part was definitely the staff, who went above and beyond to make our experience special. The luxurious ambiance of the hotel along with the fantastic food made our vacation a dream. While the rooms were a bit dated and showed some wear, we still found them comfortable. Overall, it's a five-star experience with some areas for improvement in the room updates.

I had a great time at the hotel, enjoying the stunning resort grounds and a beautiful private beach. The amenities were impressive, and the staff genuinely tried to make our stay special. However, the dining options could use an upgrade, as some of the meals didn't meet the luxury vibe I expected. Overall, it was a lovely stay with lots to appreciate.

We had an unforgettable experience at this hotel, thanks to the exceptional service and the beautiful resort grounds. The rooms were spotless every day, and we enjoyed delicious meals with plenty of variety. However, the outdoor pool was too cold to swim in during our stay, and the hotel could improve its facilities for families, particularly in terms of kids' activities.
