Amazing stay
Hotel location as describe by Hotel.com was in front of the beach, have their own bar and restaurant. Food was good. Plenty of other restaurants and bars around, but almost everyday we eat and drinks at Aptera hotel. Visilius, Christop, and their staff members were very helpful, polite and friendly.

Highly recommended and good value
We are a couple with one 14-year-old daughter and we stayed for two nights. The room was spacious and the layout provided our daughter with a little privacy. The manager/owner and the staff were very polite and accommodating. The location is ideal for Heraklion airport, Heraklion centre, beach and local restaurants.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Close proximity to beach. Generous room size and comfortable bed but my en suite facility was small and in need of some repairs and updating. Having said that I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and would be very happy to return in the future. Very good value.

They asked us to pay 2.5 for each beach towel, and the beach in front of the hotel didn't have any free beach chairs so we couldn't even sit there. You could not get wifi signal in the room unless you were on the balcony. The room is very bare, but it was decent.

The property overlooks the Mediterranean Sea and the view is breathtaking, the staff could not have been more helpful and they treat you like family. This is my second time staying at Aptera and I will return because the service is excellent, the food is superb and the location is very convenient for going down town Heraklion and surrounding areas. There is always plenty of parking as well.
