Ikaros Suites, Амудара Ираклиу, Греция

The staff made this stay! Everyone we met there made us feel welcome and special. Hands down- there was nothing better about this stay than the people we met there. When we arrived, they offered us complimentary drinks at the bar typical of the area prepared with cinnamon and local honey while giving us excellent travel tips for exploring the island. The hotel itself was very modern and clean, which I value highly when traveling. Their food and drinks from the restaurant and bar were amazing- so fresh and delicious. The breakfast always had a large variety of freshly prepared items. The restaurant attached to the hotel and the bar were excellent as well with tasty food traditional to Crete. It was near the beach- about a two to three minute walk and visible from the hotel. It was also a quick 10 minute drive to the airport and downtown Heraklion, so it was very convenient with a rental car!

The staff made the stay exceptional. We had the most fabulous dinner and everyone that night was welcoming and charming. The drinks served at the bar were also outstanding and we loved the small pool, perfect space to relax.
