The story

Reopened in 2023 after a full renovation, Momi presents brand-new rooms and facilities set around a garden in Korakia village. The design leans modern and pared-back, with the property recently extending into a new wing that opens access to three pools in total — among them a year-round outdoor pool and a sun terrace above the greenery.

The 91 rooms span twins, doubles, quads, suites, studios and apartments, and the higher categories — Tholos, Petra, Nemea and Dione — add private pools. Elia Restaurant handles the food with a Mediterranean menu, breakfast is continental, and the spa runs treatments alongside yoga classes and an open-air cinema. A fitness centre rounds out the wellness side.

Heraklion airport is roughly 20 km away, the centre of Hersonissos 400 m, and Limenas Hersonissou Beach an eight-minute walk; free private parking helps if you're driving. This suits couples and calm-seeking travellers who don't need family facilities — children must be over 12, there are no cribs or extra beds, and some rooms involve significant stairs, so anyone needing step-free access or travelling with young children should look elsewhere.

No. Children over 12 are welcome, but cribs and extra beds aren't available, and the minimum age for check-in is 18. Some rooms also require significant stairs, which can limit accessibility.

Yes. The Tholos, Petra, Nemea and Dione room categories include private pools. Separately, the hotel has 2 swimming pools shared by guests, including a year-round outdoor pool, plus a sun terrace.

What guests say

  • Guests repeatedly single out the modern design and cleanliness, and rate the pools and their views highly across the property.
  • Service draws consistent praise, with the staff score reaching 9.8 — reviewers describe the team as attentive and exceptional.
  • Several visitors note how peaceful and relaxing the setting feels despite being close to town and the beach.
  • Guests enjoy the on-site yoga classes and spa treatments, and breakfast and dinner are generally praised for their variety.

The recurring gripe: Some rooms require significant stairs, and neighbouring-room noise from other guests is occasionally mentioned.
