We were pleasantly surprised how nice this hotel is. The grounds are huge and complex feel like little village. We had an issue the first night with not getting the room with sea view which we paid for, but the staff went out of their way to get that corrected and we were placed in a room with the sea view the next night. We were also given a voucher for lunch for 2 in French restaurant as for the inconvenience. Beach area is beautiful, water is crystal clear and warm. There are several pools around. Nature is beautiful. Buffet offers variety of option for everyone. Super convenient location, very close to village Sisi that has tons of restaurants, gift shops and activities. About 40 min away from Heraklion and Agias Nikolaos.

The renovated room is lovely. The resort is not. I have never stayed in such an unwelcoming resort. There are many people staying here - it’s enormous & there are just not enough staff. They are harassed & rude. They all defend the huge number of ‘rules’ that exist & have no interest in actually serving their guests. The customer is never right. It doesn’t feel like a relaxing vacation, it feels like school. Where to begin? The drinking water in the cafeteria is turned off after breakfast. I don’t expect alcohol or even juices to be included in the meal plan - but turning OFF the water? They don’t leave bottles of water in the rooms either, but the cold water might go off in the evening. (Nothing is ever their fault. They never offer a solution - “it’s the village that turns it off you see”). If you get to the buffet an hour before closing there isn’t much left to eat & it certainly isn’t inviting. (“It’s the fault of the children you see, they take too much & don’t even eat it”). The gym doesn’t open until 10am (“it’s because it’s in the spa you see”). The beach towels are in the spa so you can’t get towels until 10am. You can only have 1 umbrella for 2 sun beds. The gestapo on the beach run a tight operation. (“You think I don’t know what goes on on this beach? I see you trying to get another umbrella”). You can only sit in designated areas for lunch, even if all the tables are in the sun and there are empty tables in the shade. Unhappy people everywhere.DO NOT STAY HERE!

I stayed at this property for a week. Here are my impressions in brief: CONS: - No room service. In practice this means that you have to track in the summer heat 10 minutes to the breakfast place and then back. - The lunch place (by the pools) - be prepared for sloppy and slow service and food of a very poor quality. - Breakfasts and dinners are buffet-style and the food is nice but the canteen is very understaffed. Be prepared for very long wait times to get a clean and served table and to have your drinks brought to you. - The so-called "Suite room" is not a suite but just two adjacent rooms with very simple decor. - The Internet is very spotty, super slow in the evening and was out for an entire day on one occasion. - There are two beaches - one is an artificial bay with plastic, used masks, paper, leaves and all sorts of trash floating in the water. The other one is clean but has huge rocks in the water which make swimming rather difficult. - My door lock was broken and got fixed only on the 3rd day of my stay after a second reminder from me. - The phone in the room was also broken and had to be replaced. PROS: - very nice huge swimming pools; - it is not too difficult to find sun-beds.

Overall experience pleasing but the aircondition in the main room did not work. They promised to replace it with a new one but they did not.

The resort is quite large with lots of spaces for different uses. Amazing beach which I will always remember. Buffet had a great food and lots of choices. Balcony room was spacious but was very "beige", nice to add mediterranean colours to give a more luxury/wow feel. Would definitely return.

Staff Service. They make it in a way that you feel special. Always smiling.

My wife and I loved everything about the hotel. If there was one suggestion I would make that would be an adults only part of the eating areas. Sometimes when having a romantic meal with your significant other it's nice not to hear babies crying. Just a thought. Overall we absolutely loved our vacation time at the Kalimera Kriti. 10/10

This was a very good experience to us from A to Z. We travelled with and without Kids hundreds of Hotels over the world, and this makes it certainly on the top ranks. Attention to detail, overall setup, food, speed of service... name it. All exceptional well. Bathroom was a litlle worn out for a 5 star but nothing to be concerned and definitly clean. Very good experience,

Very nice hotel.perfect for kids. I would like to come back

The resort is quite nice, it's built like a greek village. Food is spectacular (we took the half board basis and were very happy with it). On the down side our room was quite remote from the beach and the hotel facilities (7 min walk in the sun with 2 small kids) and the room standard was, in my POV a good 4* rating, rather than 5*. Wi-Fi cover in the rooms and around the resort is quite fickle and calls for improvements.

We were on our honeymoon there and were very pleased with the resort at first. When we arrived to the hotel we have learned that a bungalow means something else in Crete. We liked the village style set up, but we have expected rather bigger room and sea front. Pictures on the hotel websites are misleading.

This is a very large property, the landscaping could be better. They have buildings that are empty and don't look to serve a purpose. The pool area is a massive lawn area with no trees or shade so every morning people fight for umbrellas. Lawn is not mowed, which is awkward. Our first room was a joke. Some Motel 6 have nicer and cleaner rooms (we had a big ant infestation in our bath room). Not even a coffee machine. After complaining they gave a really nice room however. So not a 5 star resort, but if you have small kids this is a good place.

We spent 2 weeks in a Family Bungalow with sea view, and fully enjoyed it! Very nice and clean, quiet beach, large pools, no hassle for sunbeds, excellent food, friendly staff... no substantial complaints! Can be fully recommended for a relaxing beach holiday!
