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.

Lovely welcome and all staff friendly. Very clean but tap in bathroom being eco friendly very annoying! Unfortunately our stay was spoilt by an outside event taking place next door to our room that kept us awake until after midnight. They did offer a massage the following day but the damage had been done otherwise it was a lovely place to stay.

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.

All the plants and trees and flowers are really beautiful and well maintained. The lighting of the property is gorgeous. The views are picturesque. It's a small, quiet and peaceful hotel.Rooms and grounds are super clean. The design of the pool areas is very pretty. Breakfast is basic but filling. Ground staff although very pleasant and helpful was lingering around the hilltop suites area a lot, like really a lot-it was taking away the privacy a bit. We are in our 40s and we're glad we had our own pool and terrace to chill as the crowd was mostly young "instagram" couples- lacking warmth, a smile or good manners that usually come with experience ( or upbringing😉). Also, I don't know how but there were hardly any mosquitoes. There is a party hotel above Irida, which had parties every day from around 9 till 11pm. It echoed around the whole neighborhood!- we didn't mind-sounds of people being happy and enjoying themselves and the traditional live music was even beautiful on occasion!-but it's something to consider.

SAVERIO

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
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.
