Opened in 2007, the Grecotel Amirandes is a luxurious resort that sits within a 150,000m2 lush estate in the area of Gouves some 17km east of Heraklion and 7km from Hersonissos. Designed and appointed to meet the taste and expectations of travellers who demand nothing less than the best, Amirandes does indeed speak volume about Grecotel's uncompromising pursuit of perfection. This exclusive beachfront complex recalls images of the fabulous palaces of the Minoan Kings with spectacular features such as the imposing stone arches of the entrance lobby. Private pools at most of the accommodation, superb lagoons adorned with under-water fairytale light effects at night, tantalising menus at a choice of restaurants, a good range of sport activities (plus the Crete Golf Club about 10km away), a well-run kids' club and an exclusive Elixir Spa complement the very grand setting. Not surprisingly, the service at Grecotel Amirandes is truly top-class and goes hand in hand with the relaxing surroundings of all guest accommodation, be it a beautifully appointed 'superior room', a chic and spacious 'family room' or the ultimate luxury of one of the villas.
