“This newly-relaunched resort is really five hotels in one (Crystal Energy; Eternal Oasis; Ruby Red Regal; Divine Thalassa; and the OH! All-Suite) set on a private peninsula. Each has a different theme; all are vividly designed. Helpful staff (most of them Russian, as are many of the wealthy clientele) drive you and your luggage from reception to your luxurious room, suite or private villa with pool. A 21st-century cocoon, with post-Soviet oligarch designer chic throughout and Michelin-level Greek food in seven restaurants. If you need a reality check, you can sneak out for a beer and a souvlaki in Agia Pelagia outside the gates.”

“This 5-star deluxe resort hotel is located on a private peninsula, 20 minutes from the City and the International Airport of Heraklion and next to the traditional fishing village of Aghia Pelaghia. Our 5-star deluxe hotel is ideally, centrally situated on the island of Crete, providing easy and quick access to all Ancient Sites for excursions. The property is outstretched over this unique peninsula resembling a Cretan Village and is surrounded by a Botanical Park of 167.000 sq. m. / 1.796.920 sq. ft. with beautiful Aegean views, extensive gardens, green pathways, ponds, cascades, a small river, 3 beaches and a private zoo. The property features 3 private greenhouses and large cultivations where organically-grown fruits, vegetables, herbs and flowers are produced and used in all our restaurants and bars.”
