You won’t be short of places to grab a tipple either, as there are five poolside bars.
Inside the hotel you can indulge yourself too, at the spa with an indoor heated pool, Turkish bath, hot tubs and massages available.
There’s a gym, tennis courts and padel courts too as well as the option to paddleboard on the pool that weaves through the complex.
If you really want the Maldives treatment, you could even have your breakfast floating in the pool.
A recent visitor said: “Such an amazing place in every way. The resort is exceptional from the moment you arrive.
“The food in the restaurants is amazing but I have to say that the buffet is the best I have encountered.
“First class entertainment and service in all areas.
“We enjoyed it so much, we’ve already booked for next year.”
Just 15 minutes walk from the resort is the village of Analipsi, where you will find a selection of small shops as well as tavernas.
What makes all of this even better is that from stepping outside of Crete airport the resort is only 15 minutes away.
The easiest way to get to the resort is by flying to Heraklion Airport on Crete, which costs as little as £29 per way.
