Arolithos Traditional Village Hotel

Lovely setting. Really peaceful and the food excellent

A little away from facilities

The pool was fabulous! One of the best I have found. Location on hilltop, and view over Heraklion were spectacular.

There were too many cats that didnt leave you alone while eating. Some jumped on the table. The bed linen moved and came away from the bed while sleeping. I made my bed 4 times during the night. Bed was uncomfortable. My room was musty. Far too many stairs to get to the room. Very poor lighting in room. No hot water for evening shower. The aircon did not cool the room.

Great location, nice swimming pool and overall exteriors, polite people

The room was superficially cleaned but that was not the issue. We left the windows open to go for dinner and when we went back into the room there were around 30-40 mosquitos waiting to have theirs. And they did, especially on our 1 year old. They definitely need mosquitos nets. It is one of those cases when just with a little effort you can have a huge positive difference. Hopefully they'll do it.

Pool are was fun and nice, good view and sunbeds. All staff were nice. Rooms were clean.

Extremely hard and uncomfortable beds. Our family room had no kettle, which is usually much needed by parents.

Pool is beautiful, especially at night. The breakfast space in the shade of the trees with the amazing view is fantastic. The hotel is constructed like a small traditional village which gives it this delightful rustic feel. Perfect for getting away from it all.

No WiFi in rooms and ethernet does not work either. Poor phone signal too. Pool not 100% clean. Airconditioning didn't work very well. A but too much noise at night with all the weddings and baptisms.

It felt authentic yet modern. It offered amazing views over the city and the bay. It was very very quiet though. Kids had a wonderful time and the pool was busy till 11pm- multilingual shouting and lots of laughter.

For some reason we believed that there would be some workshops and live music.

Beautiful and unique, lovely pool, amazing restaurant. Lots of wildlife!

Atmosphere! Built to imitate a village, and each Sunday and Tuesday they re-create traditional village life for a busload of visitors, and we enjoyed observing the activity Sunday morning. Good food each breakfast, also dinner, and one evening we shared the best cheese-stuffed peppers appetizer! The pool was lovely though we didn't take time for swimming while there. The view from the eating patio is lovely, shaded by trees, so nice to stay there for several days as we visited Crete.

In all of Greece you cannot put toilet paper in the toilet. There's a lidded trash can for that purpose. Takes some getting used to.
