This is a truly special property. Fantastic service, beautiful accommodations and a 3 minutes walk(downhill) to the beach. My only concern is that I booked and paid for a superior suite and was given a smaller room than I paid for. The room was enough space so I didn’t complain but I would have preferred to be informed and compensated for the smaller room.

A Great Experience
The hotel itself is beautiful, well-maintained and spotlessly clean. There is a sense of space and lots of little areas you can take yourself off to for a little bit of privacy. Everyone who works at the hotel is friendly and authentic and without a doubt it is the Team at the Irida which made our stay that extra little bit specials. Always welcoming, willing to help and professional. We loved our stay.

Really nice place and nice staff. Breakfast was really cute also. View is not that nice, there's electrical cables right in front of the hotel and the lots around the property make the view unpleasant.

Great value & setting, stylish with lovely staff
We really enjoyed staying here, two of us in a more roomy apartment. The refit of the place is very chic but it retains the warm of a family run business The communal areas are very well cared for and the pool / sun lounges perfect for lazing around. Good chill out music and lovely views make for a relaxing spot and a short walk in the evenings to all the restaurants along the beach Wifi is good in the communal areas but did not work well for us in the room but with new European rules on roaming it wasn't a problem Do bring basics like washing up liquid cloths and tea towels if you plan to eat in as there is really nothing provided. Cutlery crockery and glass is limited to the bare minimum. Very much enjoyed our stay, very few Brits lots of Dutch and Russians staying and all nice people.

Walking distance to Agia Plagia beach and shops. Bus stop to Heraklion at the door. Note; Hotel has quite a few stairs which may not be good for elderly travellers. Only few staff members speak english however they are very friendly and helpful.

Veramente un' ottima struttura sotto ogni punto di vista con rapporto qualità-prezzo molto superiore alla media di Creta. Non assegniamo il voto massimo solo perché, nonostante ci fosse stato assicurato via mail e con largo anticipo la possibilità di poter soggiornare in un appartamento situato all'ultimo piano, come avevamo espressamente richiesto, di fatto ci è stato invece assegnato il n.19, bello e pulito, ma ns. malgrado situato piano terra, fronte piscina e lato ristorante, molto rumoroso. Per tutto il resto non possiamo che fare i più sinceri complimenti. Gentilissimo anche il pensiero di prepararci un cestino da viaggio con la colazione che dovendo partire all'alba avremmo altrimenti perso. Bravi ... una svista può capitare a chiunque lavori, ma se c'è passione si sente; noi ci siamo sentiti comunque degli ospiti, non solo dei clienti, la differenza non è scontata. Torneremo sicuramente, grazie.
