Aquarius Apartments

El. Venizelou, Agia Pelagia, 71500, Greece –

The hotel gives you the sensation of a very cozy place, a bit secluded, no noise at all. Close to the beach.

Adina, Romania

Owner was very friendly. Location short walk from beach and restaurants. The pool area was lovely, so relaxing with all the beautiful flowers and colours. I would highly recommend!

Emma, United Kingdom

We loved our stayed here. Friendly hosts, beautiful gardens, very comfy and clean rooms and and only 10 mins from the beach which has got lots of lovely restaurants. We will definitely be back!

Elaine, United Kingdom

Staff great, good location for the village centre. Basic cooking facilities but adequate for short stay. Our second visit, we would return in the future.

Paul, United Kingdom

Great pool with beautiful garden. The rooms are basic but clean and cool. About 10 minute walk to the beach which was great for swimming with a great choice of restaurants.

Accueil sympathique. Appartement au calme, belle piscine, chambre spacieuse, wifi OK sur le balcon. Attention l'hôtel n'est pas au bon endroit sur google map. Lorsque vous êtes sur le parking , continuez sur la route et passez devant le Diskouroi apt et 50 mètres plus loin à droite vous verrez l'hôtel. Nous sommes restés une nuit de plus pour le prix renseigné par booking. Très bien situé pour le centre d'Agia Pelagia ou se trouvent les commerces et les restaurants. Petit chien bien accueilli gratuitement. Le patron comprend bien l'anglais et est vraiment sympathique : il est souvent disponible et a toujours le sourire ! Bon bref , je le recommande, c'est un bel endroit à Agia Pelagia et nous y retournerons bien volontiers.

Удобное тихое место,дорога рядом,но движение редкое.Красиво оформлен фасад,красивые цветущие растения,приветливый хозяин и персонал.

Хорошая и уютная территория при отеле. За стоимость проживания - очень хороший вариант! Уборка была раз в два дня. Убирались хорошо! Доброжелательный персонал. Также хорошо, что отель находится именно с этой стороны бухты, потому что к пляжу нужно идти в совсем небольшую горку в отличие от другой стороны бухты, там уже будет добраться к пляжу пешком не просто из-за крутых подъемов. Понравился этот вариант размещения!

Приятная деревня, нормальные хозяева. Близко от моря. Много таверен рядом.

This property is a 4-minute walk from the beach. Aquarius is on the picturesque bay of Agia Pelagia in the center of the northern coast of Crete, only 11 miles west of the capital city, Heraklion.

It is an ideal family resort, featuring 14 rooms surrounding the swimming pool, made out of local wood, stone and marble. Most of the rooms overlook the swimming pool and the garden area.

All rooms are spacious and fully equipped, each one providing bath, kitchenette, dining area, living room and separate bedroom (depending on the type of room). It is 1,000 feet from the beach.

This is our guests' favorite part of Agia Pelagia, according to independent reviews.

Couples in particular like the location – they rated it 8.4 for a two-person trip.

Liana Tzorbatzaki,owner

This complex did not start out as a business. Our family wanted to buy a summer house with a big garden surrounding it but then we thought that it would be nice to have more space to accomodate family and friends and before we realised it ,it was turned into a small, elegant hotel. My mother has chosen every colour, every flower, every detail that had to do with the decoration , sowed all the curtains, linen, pillows and sofa covers as if they were for her own house.We have shared very beautifull moments with lots of dear guests whom we d like to call friends . I guess if someone asks whats so special about Aquarius my answer would be that it feels like home

I am Liana Tzorbatzaki and I am the owner of Aquarius hotel. This establishment is like another child of mine. I have been working in it ever since I was 18 years old and we ve grown together through the passing of all these years.In every corner I set my eyes to , I see pictures of me, of guests, of my family, moments I ve shared. At our veranda I see the first steps my son made.At one of the apartments I see the long hours and the hard work I gave to decorate it and paint it.

People of our neighbourhood are genuine Cretan people that agriculture their land in order to live. In every corner you pass by, one sees plantation ,vegetables ,fruit trees and various other goods that farmers grow seasonaly .The atmosphere is clear and peacefull , the combination of high mountains and clean sea waters make a breathtaking contrast , there are endless little paths for those who like to walk and you never feel alone or frightened..

I was a bit afraid of the lizzards crawling on the roof of the hotel, but I guess that is not the hotel’s fault. Also, the room we had, had a very small window for how big the room was.

While entering the taxi to the airport, the owner ran after me and claimed i did not pay the bill for my stay. I paid for the accomodation on ' booking' site but he argued with me that he did not recieve it, i almost missed my flight back until finally he said ' ok go' and i left. Until the departure everything was excellent

Beautiful hotel in a great location! At the reception you will be greeted by a beautiful pleasant woman Liana and everything else will be the same. The rooms are clean and comfortable. Cleaning is done regularly and responsibly. All our requests and issues were resolved immediately. There is a swimming pool on site, decorated with flowers and trees. Due to the good location and the presence of trees in the pool there is both sun and shade, which is necessary for hot afternoon hours. Most of the rooms have a nice view. The hotel is located a five minute walk from the beach in a straight line. This is a very big plus, as the entire coast is strewn with cafes and restaurants, and the persistent smell of food from morning to late evening, as well as the sounds of music will not relax those who live on the shore. The hotel can eat, but you can prepare your own, in the kitchenette in the apartment has a minimum of everything you need. On the coast there are paid sunbeds under an umbrella for 20 euros per day. Or you can sit for free on the sand on the Central beach. We stayed in the hotel for 14 days and it was a real holiday!

Don't forget to take washing up basics as they don't provide cloths & washing up liquid. Research trips etc before you go as the owner, although friendly does not speak English. These are only minor points as the hotel was exactly as described.
