"Upgraded hotel -modern equipment"Reviewed by Max of "Milwaukee, WI" on Oct 16, 2011
Very good hotel to stay in, but you need to know how to get there (if not on taxi - use it if you can, we could not since taxi were on strike). Make sure you know that hotel is located next to El Greco Park / Lion Squire and it's located on Theotokopoulou street (which is the actual last name of the artist El Creco). 200 m (yards) from the sea, 15 mins to the main street, 25 mins walk to the port/ferries. Knowing how to find it - very good hotel in Heraklion/Crete to stay in.

Hotel Lena was wonderful. Tucked away a little off one of the more touristy roads of Heraklion, it was easy to find and extremely well kept. The room was spacious and comfortable. I have no complaints and would reccommend to others wanting to stay in town and extemely close to the port.
"Relaxing, close to beautiful village"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Jul 8, 2010
The Korifi Suites was wonderful. It was quiet, outside of the large cities and noise. It is conveniently located near a small village with plenty of restaurants, bars, and shops. The beach is in walking distance (an uphill climb to get back though), as is the bus stop to travel around the rest of the island. The rooms were comfortable and clean. The pool was beautiful and practically empty so my husband and I enjoyed sunbathing and swimming daily without lots of other people. The owner was very helpful and kind. He even called the taxi driver on our way to the port to speak to us and tell us good-bye since we had left before he could speak with us!
"Good value for money"Reviewed by N Killeen of "Dublin" on Sep 20, 2009
Receptionists were very helpful and pleasant as was the night porter who greeted us on our arrival at 1.00 in the morning. Restaurant staff were very cheerful and pleasant also. Our room was bright, clean and overlooked the pool. The food was varied and plentiful but I would advise going in to dinner nearer the starting time than later on. All in all it was a very pleasant experience. We were the only Irish guests the others were German, Dutch and Polish with some English.

Ideal for a relaxing sea-and-sun holiday, this friendly, purpose-built, family resort offers a good selection of low-cost hotels and apartments, and lies 17 kilometres east of Heraklion. The local sand beaches have sunloungers, parasols and water sports. The main strip offers a handful of tavernas (some with live music) and bars, but night-time entertainment is generally hotel-based. The Star Beach water park is nearby in Chersonissos.

Το ξενοδοχείο σε γενικές γραμμές ήταν ικανοποιητικό. Το φαγητό αρκετά καλό αλλά τα ποτά και οι χυμοί πολύ κακοί. Τα δωμάτια πολύ όμορφα ανακαινισμένα ενώ το υπόλοιπο ξενοδοχείο λιγότερο. Γενικά καλή εμπειρία
"Bra og dårlig"
Negativt: Det første jeg legger merke til på hoteller er rengjøringen på rommet. Da vi ankom sent på kvelden, fant vi bl.a skjegg- rester på baderomsbenken, spindelvev i hjørnene og skitt på gulvet. Det tydet på ingen eller dårlig rengjøring før rommet skulle få nye gjester - noe jeg synes er ekkelt. Vi klaget dagen etter og ble lovet ny rengjøring. […] Etter flere timer ved bassenget ble rommet bare redd opp, men ikke rengjort. Da ble jeg så oppgitt at jeg ba etter rengjøringsmidler for å vaske selv, men det fikk vi ikke. De sendte noen som dro over badet, men de forstod ikke at de skulle ta gulvene også. Derfor vasket jeg over de med et håndkle. Jeg ble også skuffet over standarden på hotellrommet, med tanke på at det er 4 stjerner. Det var slitt, masse malingsflekker, men det verste var badet. Det var hull i vegger, mugg og råte i fugene på flisene og det luktet gammel fukt. Vi fant også maur og sølvkre-dyr der. Ettersom vi hadde rom i en slags leilighetsbygning, var døren til rommet også ytterdør rett ut i naturen. Under døra var det en sprekk på 1 cm eller 2, altså døra gikk ikke ned til gulvet. Dermed var det fritt frem for insekter å komme inn. Vi tettet sprekken med et håndkle hver dag. Nest siste kveld, da vi skulle legge oss, fant vi en stor kakelakk på nattbordet. Jeg hater de dyrene og det ødela nattesøvnen min de to siste nettene. Vi vet ikke hvordan den kom inn. Housekeeping lar jo døra stå åpen når de rer opp rommet, så det kan være derfor. Men uansett ødelegger det mye for meg... Positivt: Betjeningen er hyggelig og hjelpsom. All inclusive var nytt for oss - men måltidene var varierte og bød på mye god mat: Kjøtt, fisk, fugl, grønnsaker (kokte og rå) og masse salater. Snack- baren ved bassenget var åpen hele dagen og vi kunne forskyne oss med is, pizza, drikke og snacks når som helst. Bassenget hadde mange solsenger - noe mange hoteller har lite av. Likevel var det mye dårlig folkeskikk av gjestene ved å legge håndklær på senger og så forsvinne i flere Read more
"Flott opphold!"
Vi var 1 uke på hotellet og hadde med datteren vår på 3 år. Dette hotellet og all inclusive var perfekt med tanke på barn - så enkelt! Bassengområdet og stranden var like ved; alt var i kort, KORT gåavstand. Flott service og fantastisk personalet!Det var drosjestreik da vi skulle hjem klokken 3 på natten(!) men da stilte hotellet opp med deres bil […] og en snill ansatt, som sto opp og kjørte oss til lflyplassen mot at vi betalte bensinpenger. I tillegg var maten veldig god og variert! Vi drar gjerne tilbake, helst med en gang! :) Read more
