Really good hotel. It’s a boutique and therefore you are treated especially well by the staff and family who own the hotel. The location is by the coast with 5min walk to a lovely beach area. Breakfast is good and the gym is ideal. The massage chairs are a great touch and very useful. The rooms are very good size with kitchen and with lots of shops and restaurants within walking distance. A very good and calm place to stay and Heraklion is very nearby.

Absolutely loved our stay at Galaxy Suites, we got an upgrade upon arrival which was a fantastic room. Rooms were spotless and had everything you need. Staff were very attentive and friendly. The hotel is situated in a lovely village with lots of tavernas and bars within walking distance.
