The hotel is a bit older and could benefit from some updates, but it more than makes up for it with its excellent service and welcoming staff. The food was good, with a wide variety of options to suit different tastes. The beach is well maintained, offering plenty of sunbeds as well as a shaded area for those looking to escape the sun. Do keep in mind that the beach can be quite windy, the entrance to the sea is rocky, and the waves can sometimes be rough. For families, there is a children's playground, a fun mini disco in the evenings, and plenty of activities around the pools to keep little ones entertained. A major advantage is the bus stop located directly in front of the resort, with buses reaching the center of Heraklion in about 30 minutes. Overall, we had a very positive experience. In my opinion, the Booking.com rating doesn't do this hotel justice.
I had a great time at the Apollonia Hotel, and I'm very glad I chose it for my vacation! Top-notch service, friendly staff, an excellent swimming pool and a great entertainment program - I felt that everything was taken care of and I could simply relax and enjoy my stay. A special compliment to the hotel's animation team: energetic, enthusiastic and very professional young people. It was a pleasure to interact with them! Thank you, Hotel Apollonia, for a memorable vacation!
A truly beautiful, clean, and exceptionally well-maintained resort. Everything looks thoughtfully designed, modern, and highly functional, while still maintaining a warm and welcoming atmosphere with great facilities and a fantastic mini market with an excellent selection of products!. The attention to detail is impressive, and the overall presentation is excellent. A place that clearly combines comfort, quality, and elegance. Highly recommended!
I am staying here at the.moment and was very disappointed when we arrived. The hotel according Jet 2 is a 4 star but the hotel has been given 5 star by the Greek tourist board. I have been to Zante and Corfu in a 5 star this is by far not rated correctly. Our first room was not what we expected being dark and with extremely dated furniture and had maintenance issues. (Although very clean apart from One issue which was dealt with) We didn’t even unpack our suitcases. The hotel did move us on day 4 to a new room which is the one we expected and paid for and we are extremely happy with it is lovely . If this had happened at the beginning I wouldn’t be making this review. . This was after complaining to Jet 2 and the hotel. The staff in reception when we arrived wasn’t very friendly. . No welcome drink. No one helped us with our cases. The hotel food isn’t displayed very well. I’m gluten free there is only a small selection of foods for GF although a member of staff did give me some bread. Positives are. The swimming pools are very good Beach towels given The Greek restaurant was very good and staff very polite and friendly. I would grade the rooms 4 star now and food 3 and service 3
We’ve booked an all inclusive package for a week at this hotel through a tour operator. The facilities are very nice, hotel and room are clean, bath towels are changed twice/day, the furniture is a bit old, but well preserved and maintained. Eating area is clean, food is good and there is something for everybody - the greek food is delicious! There are fish options everyday, in the evenings there’s usually a theme (so far we had mexican and greek). Drinks everywhere, barely any queue at the bars, plenty of options to choose from and also quite a few different spaces to enjoy. Hotel is kid friendly, they loved exploring the gardens, the mini gold course and the kids center. I had a garden view booked, but it has a partial view of the sea, balcony is nice and shaded, no need for AC. Staff was kind to help with directions for Heraklion and helped booked trips, very happy! I don t feel the Booking rating is deserved because the hotel has met all the expectations.
