Arkalochori accommodation from NZ$356

Nice hotel, clean, walking distance from everything. The only problem was our room was next to the cleaners cup card so the banging started around 7.30am and carried on most of the day when we came back in to rest

Had an excellent stay at the hotel. Very clean and modern. Food is excellent with a great range of choice every day and the drinks selection is great, including a good selection of wines within the all inclusive package. We spent our time at the top pool which we found very relaxed and the lunch menu was brilliant (excellent gyros) but there are 4 pools which all offer something slightly different and we were very relieved to see that sunbed hogging wasn’t an issue at this hotel with sunbeds available well into the day. The Aperol bar, daytime crepe stand and the beanbags on the shore for sunset were all great touches. If you are looking for a relaxing hotel to remain at for your stay this is perfect. Some things to note: We visited Taverna Amelia in the nearby town which was lovely (we highly recommend) but there are limited options for food if you did want to venture out of the hotel unless you hire a car, although there are some great little supermarkets. And the fitness facilities aren’t great if that’s important to you. We stayed in a basic room which was great for us, the waterfall shower was lovely and the room was cleaned daily. The rooms with private pools looked excellent for young families or for some extra privacy. Overall we would highly recommend. We read some negative reviews which worried us ahead of staying but a lot of the negative comments are completely untrue!

Stunning all-inclusive place with exceptional food and customer service. Rooms were meticulously cleaned, The beach was incredible and the restaurants had different themed food days throughout the week. The Spa is also something that must be experienced as the Cretan message is unique on its own.-We were really able to unwind and enjoy after hopping the islands. Highly recommended!
