Spent an amazing 2 weeks here with my family. The hotel was lovely and spotless clean. All the staff were so nice from the front desk manager and the ones working on the desk also all the bar staff at pool bar and the cloud bar. They couldn’t have been more accommodating 😊

Definitely not a 5 star hotel and definitely did not receive a 5 star level of service. The hotel claims to be 5 star but this is at best a 4 star. Previous name was The Village Resort and Waterpark which has been renovated and renamed but this is merely patching over the cracks. The initial appearance of the hotel looks great but looks can be deceiving. Significantly understaffed (lifeguards doubling up as poolside bar staff!), staff wondering around with out uniforms on (thought our room was being robbed not cleaned with two random men in football shirts that turned out to be cleaning our room), rude staff in the spa, housekeeping poor at best, tea/coffee facilities in room non-existent until day 7, significant deterioration of the hotel in less than a month since opening (footpaths falling to pieces), had to unblock both plug holes in our showers after day 2 by pulling out large clumps of hair. The "Happy Train" did not work at all during our 10 night stay. On one occasion a member of the maintenance team was repairing the restaurant floor whilst guests were having to navigate around him at dinner time!! Slow and poor service in all three of the a la carte restaurants, a waitress taking our order incorrectly but rather admit her mistake blamed us for getting our order wrong! Several issues and concerns raised with management which weren't dealt with satisfactorily.

Wir sind als Familie mit 1 Kind gereist und waren eine Woche dort. Die Mitarbeiter waren alle sehr herzlich und freundlich. Wir hatten GlĂŒck und haben sogar ein Upgrade erhalten und somit ein grĂ¶ĂŸeres Zimmer bekommen. Alles sehr sauber, einzig im Zimmer hĂ€tte die Reinigungskrsft einmal ordentlicher durchwischen können. Ansonsten alles TOP. das Essen war sehr lecker, die Anlage vor kurzer Zeit erst frisch renoviert. Ein Shuttle fĂ€hrt tĂ€glich zum Strand. Die KinderaktivitĂ€ten waren ganz toll. Turnen, Spielen, Spielparks, eigenes Kindergeschirr. Familien haben alles was sie brauchen. FĂŒr uns ein gelungener Urlaub, wenn man sich gerne in einer Anlage aufhĂ€lt und nicht tĂ€glich „raus“ muss.

I recently stayed at this hotel and had a fantastic experience. The buffet exceeded expectations with a great variety of options that catered to all tastes, and the three on-site restaurants were exceptional, offering delicious and diverse cuisine. The kids’ entertainment was a highlight, keeping the little ones entertained and happy throughout our stay. The only downside was that the hotel doesn’t have its own beach, but they have a free shuttle to a beach club. I also arranged airport transfers with Crete-taxi.gr, which was excellent—punctual and reliable. Overall, a wonderful stay!

Vackert hotell med underbar personal. Men renlighet och stÀdning var under all kritik. UnderhÄllningen va vÀldigt bra med jÀtte engagerad personal. Maten var ok, kÀnns som allt var lite rörig. DÄlig info gÀllande maten och efter 2 dagar smakade allt samma sak och det va inte bra variation.
