The AC did not work, so we had to sleep in +30° for a week despite complaining three times, the first time after the second night.
I was told I was going to get a reply on the last day of my stay if they could offer part of the price as a refund, it it took me maybe ten emails, a bad review and even a job application before someone replied and told me that they didn’t want to help me.
Not even close to a five star experience. Avoid this place and find someone who cares about their reputation and their customers.

Stayed for all inclusive family holiday. Initially thought lunch starting at 1pm was a little late for family with small children but we got used to it soon. Good facility and the room pool made a massive difference to us. Beach is in a good walking distance in the summer heat, too.

A family of 4 with two kids under 7 years enjoyed the stay - we are definitely coming back to this amazing place!
8.0 / 10.0
A really nice place. We thoroughly enjoyed it. Reasons for a high rating... pools were expansive and warm, and nowhere did we feel cramped. The reasons why not a 5 rating... the food was okay, the hours for the buffet weren't really long enough, in between meals there were no proper options to get food (other than crepes, fruit, ice cream, and small sandwiches) - that sounds like a lot but not really. Also, after 9:30pm, nowhere to eat anything else. Also, didn't like the need to have to pay a surcharge to get the higher all inclusive to get the better drinks etc. There were ants in our condo which after complaining they sent a housekeeper to spray the perimeter. It worked for the most part as we only had a few show up after that. All in all, a good place to stay. We would be okay to stay here again.
10.0 / 10.0
Perfect if you are looking for all inclusive options.
The food stands out, with options for all tastes, as well as local cuisine.
Clean and well maintained. Staff were super friendly and helpful.

We were really disappointed in this resort. It was very sterile and chaotic. The room would not get cool (in July heat), the shower water temperature was extremely inconsistent, the bedding gave my daughter a rash, there were wasps everywhere outside of the pool, we did not get a map of the property or any hospitality, the food was really bad. We left after two nights (had booked 7 nights) and they would not give us a refund.

Over rated , good for kids but really poor all inclusive food & drink options
8.0 / 10.0
Amazing location and very comfortable rooms. Staff is nice, food is average, the spa has a lot of options and great service, the mini market is very handy and activities are great for people with small children. Would have been nice to have a bit more animation in the evening for grown ups, all inclusive cocktails are unfortunately really bad quality and we didn't like that you had to pay an extra for the premium option. Overall it's a good value for money option, but not really a 5 stars.

It's decent property, room size and condition is great. Overall good experience, only disappointment was food selection in meal. Everyday same stuff.

All-inclusive, excellent staff/service, sea view, large modern rooms, indoor and outdoor pool, and just well maintained property makes it an ideal spot for relaxing vacation with family.

Really enjoyed our stay. Food and facilities were fantastic and staff very attentive. Bit noisy with the building work next door but more than made up for by the pools and the beach

Great 4 night stay! Elefteria and Angelina (I think was her name) were very welcoming and upgraded our moms to the loft so they could be closer to us and the grandkids. Very friendly and helpful staff but the food and hotel premise is at 3star resort not a 5star. We highly recommend this place if you’re traveling w kids and large families.
4.0 / 10.0
Lovely family holiday, food selection was good, the cleanliness of the hotel was excellent the only area that could be improved is the grass around the pool, maybe more paving instead of grass which can get a big muddy. Lots of available sun beds both round the pool and near beach. Staff were friendly and helpful. Overall a very relaxing holiday.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at an exceptional hotel and I cannot praise it enough. From the moment I stepped foot into the lobby, I was greeted with warm smiles and a welcoming atmosphere.
The hotel's staff went above and beyond to ensure that my stay was nothing short of perfect. They were attentive, friendly, and always ready to assist with any request or inquiry. Their professionalism and genuine care for their guests truly stood out.
The room I stayed in was immaculate and beautifully designed. It was evident that great attention to detail was given to every aspect of the room, from the comfortable bed to the luxurious bathroom amenities. The cleanliness and comfort of the room made it feel like a home away from home.
The hotel's facilities were equally impressive. The fitness center was well-equipped and maintained, allowing me to continue my workout routine during my stay. The on-site restaurant offered a delectable array of dishes, each prepared with the utmost care and using fresh, high-quality ingredients.
One of the highlights of my stay was the breathtaking view from the hotel's rooftop terrace. It provided a stunning panoramic view of the city skyline, creating the perfect backdrop for relaxation and unwinding after a long day of exploring.
Overall, my experience at this hotel was nothing short of exceptional. The combination of outstanding service, luxurious accommodations, and top-notch facilities made it a truly memorable stay.

Hotel in need of FULL Renovation inside and out. Hotel in the middle of no where. No beach as stated. Anything decent is old chania 25 minutes by taxi and 25 euros each way. Hotel does not provide any transportation but has hotel van. Food is mediocre and same every day. If weather bad all ferries cancelled and excursions roughly 2 hours away. All terrain vehicles needed for any cliff beaches. I give this place 2 starts and not anything higher.

Nice beach, clean see, excellent swimming pools for kids, great animation team our children are still dreaming of that. Beach bar very well orgainsed. Food is really very good.

I have been to real 5-star resorts. Kiani beach is nothing near 5-star but barely a 3-star with the standards I am used to!
Food options are so limited and it doesn’t taste fresh; not enough fish dishes (a disappointment given we are rights at the sea!!).
The room didn’t include any products such as shampoo, conditioner, shaving cream, lotions, etc. These things are default and normal to find in even a 4-star place, yet a 5-star doesn’t have any of these things!
The room again smells like sewage and you only get one card to enter and leave the property which even means that we can’t leave the air cleaner running to eliminate the smell.
Now comes the all-inclusive; why on earth I would need to pay £20 per person to have access to the good stuff? In every 5-star resort I have been to the so called premium drinks and iced coffee are included in the all-inclusive because guess what? It’s ALL INCLUSIVE!! Nothing feels included in this place even bottled water and you only get to drink from tap!
This place is a ripoff as for this price we would have got a much better service and better access to food and drinks in any other 5-star resort.

Staff were Excellent and fun!!! The staff made our trip extra special. Property was beautiful and was on the beach which was very nice. Pools were clean, big, and refreshing. I’m sorry to say that the food was terrible. We paid for all inclusive but had to go out for most meals. I wish they would have just cooked traditional Greek food instead of trying to accommodate other nationalities because that didn’t work. Plus, the snacks offered were just terrible. However, they did have crepes at the beach bar which were terrific, but the line was incredibly long. Would go back for the people and the beach front property, but would just eat out all meals.

We started our island hopping on Crete and enjoyed 4 days at this resort. Location: Your within a few minutes of Chania which has a beautiful port and Kalyves a cute beach town with good food. The closest airport and port is Chania and Heraklion is just under 2 hour drive from this location where most of the tourist activities happen. We rented a car so we can venture out on our own but we enjoyed most of our time in the resort. Parking is included with our stay. My son enjoyed the pool, the food and making friends from other countries. Family oriented resort and would recommend the ocean view facing the pool area and beach for families. Food was excellent and bar drinks were ok. The property exterior is a bit outdated but very clean. The pool area could use more attention to cleaning as some areas ere too slippery from folks coming in and out of the beach. I have experience and training in commercial property management and this is my recommendation for the property. Otherwise the staff was helpful and excellent. My son cried all the way to the Heraklion port on the day we left because he wanted to stay longer.
4.0 / 10.0
The resort is perfect for a family vacation. Plenty of food and drinks for everybody all day long. The beach is such an awesome convenience right next door to the hotel. The only hard part was that smoking was allowed everywhere. I wish there was designated smoking for those people.

The hotel is great for family with young children. Tge staff are very helpful and friendly. The rooms are very spacious and clean. Lots of facilities for younger children. The all inclusive facilities is good. You definitely need to hire a car to stay in this hotel.
I will recommend.

My girlfriend, our daughter and I had a great stay. We had a room with a beautiful view and decided to upgrade to VIP all inclusive which we really enjoyed.
Unfortunately the Roof Top Restaurant was closed during our stay but the very helpful staff were quick to compensate for the unfortunate circumstances. In general the staff was very helpful and friendly. They are also very good with kids as it seems like they all like kids and are very good at smiling, waving and entertain them.
The facilities are nice and there are lots of activities for the kids. These activities however are for kids from 4 years and above, I would say.
The food was delicious and it was nice that a chef was cooking different kinds of meals every night.
So all in all we're very happy with the stay and had a really good time.

Inexpensive and nice. Indoor pool could have been improved with a shallow end for smaller kids.
4.0 / 10.0
Really nice place to stay with family. I found the location good with a nice beach. The pools were surprisingly cold in October and our kids preferred the sea. The food was really good. Early checking without the possibility of a late checkout was annoying.
10.0 / 10.0
All the staff were working really hard. The sea was excellent for both adult and kids. We had great work along the beach, too. The blue flag beach is right next to a little river and the area was great fun.

Kiani Beach Resort is well located near Chania and close to Kalyves, where there are great restaurants and bars. The resort itself is catered toward families, and would be recommended for those especially with young children. There was ample food with a good selection from their all-inclusive options, however we tended to go off the resort at night where there were some fantastic restaurants nearby. The hotel has two great pools, however we really liked the one on the mountain side of the resort which was very large and relaxing, with a bar right nearby.
I will say the staff really helped us as well during our stay, with the front office manager going out of her way to ensure we had a great stay.

A great break for me and my family.
The resort is well run and clean. It has great activity to keep the whole family engaged.
Only small issue was the underwhelming quality of the all inclusive drinks

Its an Ok place to stay but I wouldn't go back
5.0 / 10.0
Very clean & updated.
Rooms were impressive & spacious for a couple the day bed area was fantastic. (Enough space for 2 kids to sleep in the day bed area) - excellent for families.
Amenities very nice - plenty of beach & beach chairs no need to rub shoulders
Food was great - worth upgrading to the VIP drinks package if you like to have a few.
Within striking distance of chania so plenty to see and do off the resort, fun night time activists, plenty of pool space,
Resort was fully booked but there was still room to move.
10/10!

The hotel was very family orientated and all the staff were very helpful, especially worth mentioning were the great yoga and pilates classes by Vaso and the great advice given at reception by Evangelia. Already looking when to go again.
4.0 / 10.0
South side is 100% the better 5* hotel. Where the north hotel is a little more than 3* lower classes massing for chips etc. Where the upper to middle classes flock for salads and falafel in the North side. However some do stray across to dine with the uppers. Bringing the culture and atmosphere down. I’d rather not eat my fine food with the lower classes banging pots and pans singing “my old mans a dustman”
The service is amazing. Plates cleared away, food left for us as we had a very late check in. Access all day on the final day.
Would 100% recommend.
6.0 / 10.0
The beach front was nice. The property is very safe for kids. However, if I compare to 5-star experience, it comes up short on room amenities, cleanliness, service consistency, food etc. I think it is more of a 4-star property than the advertised 5- star.
10.0 / 10.0
The resort itself is amazing, great amenities and great location right in the beach front. The staff were so helpful and lovely. Especially the crepe chef at the beach bar.
