El. Venizelou, Agia Pelagia, 71500, Greece – Great location - show map

i loved the room it was very spacious and quiet and the location is near enough to the town and beach but not too close so that its noisy, the family run hotel is friendly and mr aquarius owner is helpful ...i often saw him helping people with their bags to their rooms and he is not young and yet he still maintains a welcoming stance. i was curious about their history that i kept going to the lobby to talk to him and he always smiled and i figured he had a sense of humour and a happy disposition

It is exactly what it looks like. Cozy, quite place with nice big enough pool, sun beds and natural shade in well maintained garden. Room was simple, clean and we liked the design of it. Hotel provids breakfast (we didn't use it, but looked nice) and cleans rooms every other day, which is an extra bonus for this kind of accommodation.

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 8.5 for a two-person trip.

Company info

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.

Property info

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

Neighborhood info

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..

“Really nice hotel”

We had a misunderstanding with owner, our fridge wasn't work properly. It was quite a tension about this subject (first discussion wasn't so friendly) but in few days we have received new fridge and we have found it as a good solution. In general I think we could avoid this situation, but we left with good impression. Rest our small requests (like shower issue) was solved very quickly and friendly.
It is really nice hotel in quiet area but close to the beach (around 5-10 minutes walking), close to restaurants and local supermarkets. You can see that owners take good care of maintenance, everything look fresh, clean. Room was very spacious and decorated with good taste. BUT! Please pay attention, beds are connected to the floor, so if you have two single beds, you can not connect them together. Hotel has nice swimming pool and garden. What I found really nice is fact that owners let us leave our bags after check out. We had late night flight and left hotel late afternoon, spending whole day on the beach. Owners let us used shower, refresh and we have received fresh towels. Owner tried to give us some good advises about traveling through Creta, that was very friendly. I would definitely recommended this hotel. It was not our first time and Greece and this hotel was the best that we have stayed. Prices are very fair. Big compliment for grandson of the owner. Very friendly young man, who can speak English (which makes things easier to fix). He also helped us out with our heavy bags.

the studio apartments are generally well equipped but there were no teaspoons in our room and a few more cups and a sponge to wash dishes would have been nice although i think if i had asked them they would have been forthcoming. so this is not so much a complaint but an observation

“Cozy and private place few minutes walk from the beach, shops and restaurants.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Family with young children
- • Stayed 11 nights
Kitchen could use a bit of an upgrade, very few utensils, sometimes only one of each (glasses, plates), small hotel-style fridge and no oven, just a simple stove. The tub water is not drinkable, so bottled water needs to be brought from the shop down the street. For someone with health issues or mobility limitation, possibly a bummer. Staff is friendly and helpful, however English not being their language, more complicated issues are harder to discuss.

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

“A picturesque hotel for a real relaxing holiday with excellent value for money!”
- • Leisure trip
- • Family with young children
- • Stayed 13 nights
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!
