Peninsula Resort & Spa

Our stay at Peninsula Resort & Spa was truly wonderful. The room was extremely clean and comfortable (we stayed at the reception building), as well as all other facilities. All the meals were really good, with a lot of variety and quality, providing several options throughout your stay. There are also several activities that can be arranged, spa services, tours to different cities, etc. (these will have additional feed but are surely worth it). The location is absolutely beautiful, and the locals are extremely welcoming and friendly! Another very useful this is the transportation to and from Heraklion directly from the Hotel reception, with several convenient schedules and very accessible prices. There are also several activities organized daily by the hotel’s animation team, from karaoke to small cooking lessons/ workshops, bingo, greek night and much more! Overall it was an amazing stay but the main thing I would like to point our is the amazing hotel staff, they are absolutely fantastic, and really make you feel at home away from home, their kindness is unparalleled, super friendly and always ready to help in anyway possible. My mother is a diabetic and had very few desert options on the daily buffets, so the chef always cared to prepare a little something specially for her! I also loved how thy provide little lunch boxes so you can still enjoys your free meals (all inclusive) when going on an excursion or for a day away from the hotel. A special thanks to Maria Irini and Fotini, the receptionist, who truly made our stay even more enjoyable than we could possibly imagine, accommodating our every need m with a constant smile from ear to ear! They are absolutely amazing! Antonio also gave us amazing tips on visiting Heraklion and how to get around the town on Agia Pelagia. I will surely comeback and hopefully have the pleasure to meet them all again.

Beautiful hotel, excellent buffet selection (especially the seafood night), great views!! I would recommend this resort to anyone who doesn’t want to leave their location they have everything you need and multiple areas to enjoy the view. Great for couples and families. The cocktails by the beach were excellent. The front desk was very kind and accommodating. You are able to take a bus into town from the hotel or book day trips.

Everything was wonderful. Beach superb. Food superb. Room quiet. Shower warm. Bed exceptional. We are not into cocktail hour so this addition was of little importance. This is a large resort with plenty of people coming an going, but you never notice the crowds unless you are needing a sunbed at the lower pool area. We managed to rise early enough and place (Peg) our towel to a lounge before breakfast. This worked well. We will return.

We stayed 7 days with all inclusive package. Our room was very spacious. Baby cot was provided as requested. Food was quite good. Some meals particularly such as lamb, grilled fish, lots of dishes with eggplants and tzatziki, which was so delicious we ate it for almost every meal. Pizza station with freshly made yummy pizza was opened for every meal. The staff was kind and quick to respond to our inquiries. The best thing is definitely the view though. The hotel is huge and has many platforms/places to enjoy the magnificent sea view. We also dined in one of the hotel restaurants and the food and service were amazing!

We had a fantastic time at this hotel! First of all, the staff were absolutely wonderful, friendly, attentive, and always ready to help. A special shoutout to the lovely lady working in the restaurant who was so sweet with our child, our little one adored her. One of the chefs also stood out for always wearing a warm smile and being incredibly polite. The rest of the team was equally amazing and truly made our stay special. The food was excellent, with a wide variety of dishes every day, so there was always something new to try. The hotel also offered daily and evening entertainment programs, which meant we never felt the need to leave the resort. Our child LOVED mini disco, we were sad it was on the program only every other night 😂 But I think that was the highlight of her stay! The hotel beach was nice, though not the most convenient for us with a 1.5-year-old. Instead, we went to a nearby beach just a few minutes’ walk away, which turned out to be perfect. We mostly used the pools, and they were all fantastic, clean, well-maintained, and enjoyable for both adults and kids. Rooms were cleaned daily! We got very spacious room that actually contained out of 2 rooms. The view from the balcony will be missed! There are also a few bars in the hotel - all great! Food is available at all times, either in the restaurant or in snack bars.
