Disliked: Cleanliness

Our stay at Caramel had both highlights and points

The check-in experience, handled by Iwanda, was excellent — warm, professional, and efficient. The property itself is very beautiful, with good food and a Kids Club offering plenty of engaging activities for children. However, we noticed a significant presence of ants in the room, which detracted from the overall comfort. More importantly, the hotel’s unwillingness to extend the check-out time — fixed at 11:00 AM — for guests with flights later in the day was disappointing. The only alternative offered was a 30-minute shower slot before departure. As frequent guests of luxury hotels around the world, we have never encountered such a rigid approach, especially in a property of this category. If this is indeed the hotel’s intended policy, it is an important factor for travelers to consider when choosing their stay.

Beautiful hotel

Gorgeous hotel, service was perfect. Any little problem that could have been solved was immediately fixed by staff. Public areas and rooms were immaculately clean. Best hotel breakfast I’ve ever seen with 30 trays of hot and probably 50 cold dishes. Pool area and beach were lovely and relaxing. The one warning I would have is that the pool area is very slippery and dangerous. There are few handrails (really only one) so it’s hard to enter and exist safely. I saw several people slip. I would recommend visiting other local hotels for lunch and dinner. The restaurant is nice but is very expensive relative to the local area.

Super freundliches und engagiertes Personal, sauber und Pool & Strand super gepflegt. Sehr leckeres und qualitativ hochwertiges Essen - auch glutenfrei möglich! Kinderprogramm war auch wunderbar. Unser erstes Familienzimmer war relativ laut (Klimaanlage vor dem Balkon, Fahrstuhl), konnten aber wechseln.

Wenn nicht dieser frustrierende Vorfall gewesen wäre, hätten wir die volle Punktezahl geben können. Am Anreisetag zeigte man uns beim Check-In unser Zimmer. Ich merkte sofort, dass es nicht die Zimmerkategorie war, die wir gebucht hatten und es wesentlich kleiner war. Wir hatten die “Deluxe bungalow suite” gebucht und das “Maisonette caramel” Zimmer bekommen. Es war schon auch schön, aber es hatte einen sehr kleinen Balkon. Wir hatten eine Terrasse mit kleinem Garten gebucht. Wir waren direkt verstimmt, als wir feststellen mussten, dass die gebuchte Kategorie online noch verfügbar war. Eine Doppelbelegung war also nicht der Grund. Man darf nicht vergessen, dass es sich hier um ein gehobenes 5-Sterne-Hotel handelt. Ich hab das Zimmer noch am selben Abend reklamiert und bekam von der Rezeption Ausflüchte zu hören. Ich hätte mir hier mehr Ehrlichkeit gewünscht. Ich sagte sofort, dass wir das so nicht hinnehmen würden. Zunächst bekamen wir als Entschädigung einen Gutschein für ein A la Carte Abendessen und die Info, dass wir in zwei Tagen umziehen dürfen. Das war dann auch der Fall und wir bekamen sogar ein Upgrade in Form eines eigenen Pools. Das Personal war die ganze Zeit über sehr freundlich und sie bemühten sich wirklich das Problem schnell zu lösen. Der Urlaub konnte gerettet werden. Wir fanden das Ganze dennoch sehr unnötig. Leider gefiel uns auch der Strand nicht, sodass wir die Region auf Kreta nicht erneut buchen würden. Das Hotel selber ist aber wirklich wunderschön.
