It was my second time staying at the Megaron in three years. Positives:
1. The hotel’s location and views were fantastic. It is a short walk to the marina, the Venetian fortress, ferry docks, and the center of the city.
2. Views from the restaurant on the top floor and the small swimming pool are spectacular.
3. The breakfast buffet was immense and offered something for everyone. The dining room setting is also luxurious, and the staff very accommodating and helpful.
4. We booked two tours independently, and pick up from the hotel was easy.
5. The staff at reception are some of the nicest, most friendly staff I have met.
6. The room we had (king sized bed) was clean, spacious, and decorated beautifully, sparing no expense.

Cons:
1. The pool is on the small side.
2. The blanket on the bed was thin.

The rooms are beautiful, spacious, and impeccably maintained. The staff is warm, welcoming, and provides excellent service throughout the stay.

The gym, however, is quite small and is located on the first floor next to the reception area, which may not offer the most relaxing fitness environment. Additionally, while the resort advertises spa amenities, many of these are available only for an additional fee.

Breakfast is also an extra charge (€20 per person). Given the room rates and the resort’s luxury status, I believe breakfast should be included as part of the stay.

I arrived late in the evening due to a flight delay and on entry the hotel initially felt a little soulless, but the staff changed my mind instantly. Proper five star hospitality. I was immediately offered a glass of water and was automatically upgraded as a silver member. I felt welcome very quickly and this continued throughout my stay. Rooftop pool area is nice and quiet (no thumping music). Generally an understated and private place to stay and a great location for exploring Heraklion on foot. Would stay again.

This becomes extremely important in this area! You will see once you get there how handy having a private parking lot is! Super important that it is two miles from the airport! The views are beautiful, staff is incredibly amazing and friendly. The rooftop pool is small but it's a roof top pool in a huge city. We enjoyed our stay here and would definitely stay again!!

The location is excellent. Friendly staff. Only 15 minutes from airport. You can get a great view of the port and fortress. The buffet breakfast may be the best we have seen in the U.S. or Europe. We highly recommend a local restaurant (Veneto) that is just two blocks up from the side entrance on the right hand side. Great food, excellent prices, and outstanding views. Also recommend the history museum. Great summary of island’s history, including involvement in WW II.

Everyone was warm & welcoming, plus always wanting to hear what you got to see while visiting their island.
The hotel was Extremely clean, the floors sparkled. The hotel is striking in size and decor.
The only 2 things they could improve for a 5 star, the spa needs music, lighting and a menu of options.
And if you are going to have a balcony, a chair or 2 would be nice to sit outside so you can enjoy the view

I'm not sure how this hotel gets a 5 star rating, but it was a perfectly adequate 4 star. Our \"junior suite\" was a room with a sofa and a desk, with the smallest bathroom. The hotel was renovated in 2003 and feels both dated and a bit tatty by now. The location is fine but you are basically on a roundabout next to the bus station overlooking the ferry port, so not exactly atmospheric.
