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.
Beautiful rooms, all very recently renovated. Staff at the hotel were all very friendly and helpful. Beautiful pool and lovely view over the coast

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.

We loved it!
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.
