This hotel is part of the Daisy Curated Collection. Its information has been researched and verified, but Daisy has not yet personally stayed here. When she does, this page will be upgraded to a full Daisy Verified inspection.

Daisy's Assessment
Researched and verified. Not yet personally stayed.
“A 5-star bungalow-and-suite beach resort at Kokkini Hani, just east of Heraklion, with seafront grounds and a spa. It stands out for being formally certified for pet welfare by the Ekonav association and for publishing one of the most detailed, transparent dog policies on the island. It suits travellers who want a clearly documented, structured pet stay rather than a vague on-request arrangement.

Why it's in the collection

One of the few Crete resorts that actively allows a kennelled dog to be left in the room and provides veterinary backup, plus a beachfront setting for early shoreline walks. The flat coastal road at Kokkini Hani makes for easy lead walks east of busy Heraklion.

Best suited for

Dogs and cats up to 10kg; if left in the room they must be secured in a kennel and the owner reachable by phone.

The open question

How the welcome translates in person, at dinner and around the hotel. That's what a Daisy stay will confirm.

Pet pricing

EUR 20, Per day, non-refundable; covers pet bed, arrival snacks and room deep-clean on departure

Dogs and cats up to 10kg, all ages. Your dog can go in the room, the gardens, the lobby (passing through, not standing around if it's the nearest exit), the outdoor tables of the restaurants and bars, and the beach, on a short lead at all times. Indoor areas, the pool area and the fitness centre and spa are without dogs. If you leave your dog in the room they must be secured in a kennel with you reachable by phone or email, and they're removed from the room during housekeeping or a Pet in Room sign used. Seasonal resort, confirm operating dates.

Where we can't yet confirm a detail first-hand, we mark it plainly rather than guess. A Daisy stay will close every gap.
