Ian from Northolt

United Kingdom

Check-in date:

Although the room was not as we had imagined, the manager was nice and most of the staff were friendly and helpful.
Food is OK if AI, but would go elsewhere if paying as you will get better value for money in the restaurants in the Bay.
With AI the local wine is very dry, beer is OK, must try Raki, cola and lemonade etc is very sweet. Entertainment is hard to review as they had only just started when we were leaving.

Top Tip: You must check the time you land as Crete is 2 hours ahead at the moment.
We lost all of our first night as the flight was delayed and the transfer took 3 hours to get to the hotel after dropping off everywhere else first. Crete is not cheap and as the pound is weak against the euro you will run out of money quick if you are not careful. 5 euro for Guiness, 1.8 euro for fuel.
Wear beach shoes if not on a sandy beach.
Avra in Sissi Bay is a nice family run restaurant.

Tracy from Driffield

United Kingdom

Check-in date:

The room was what you would expect from a Greek hotel, on one occasion, the weather was a bit inclement and we asked if the bar inside would be open, the receptionists retort was "why is it cold?", it was cold and quite windy, people around the outside bar were huddled up wearing coats and trying to keep warm. There was no entertainment at all, it would seem that the hotel had just re-opened after the winter and was not really ready to accept guests. There was some painting work going on and general maintenance being carried out around guests.

Top Tip: The best beach to visit is Tropical Beech on the way to the Palace of Malia archealogical site, however you do need transport. The taverna, locally known as The Shack was very good too just nearby to Tropical Beech. We were recommended a Taverna in Sissi village called the Waterwheel which was excellent.

Michael from Falkirk

United Kingdom

Check-in date:

We had a good holiday but felt we didn't get the standard of accommodation which we selected and paid for. It was certainly not 4 star - nearer 2 - 3 star. For example no fresh towels daily, no room service on Sunday, broken telephone in room which seems to be in common with others we spoke to, poor selection of TV channels, no selection of fresh fruit for meals, poor internet connection. Most disappointing was the fact we HAD TO PAY FOR AIR CONDITIONING in a four star hotel, all inclusive during peak season.

Top Tip: Great harbour and crazy golf.

This beach hotel has a 24-hour reception desk, an indoor bar, a lounge with satellite TV, fireplace, mini-market, as well as a conference room capable of accommodating up to 50 persons. There is a large lawn area, as well as both a kids' club and a children's playground offering safe haven at playtime for younger guests. The hotel has 170 rooms in total. All rooms in the main building were renovated over winter 2006/2007. It is air-conditioned and has a lobby, a safe, cloakroom, currency exchange facility and lift access.

A clean and efficient hotel with friendly and helpful staff. The twin rooms are a little basic for 4* but quite comfortable. It was nice to have a working fridge, balcony and air conditioning! The pool area is generally in quite good condition although a few of the sun loungers had broken struts - and they have to be claimed well before 9am.

Enjoy a fabulous location boasting stunning views of Mirabello Bay, the surrounding mountains and Aghios Nikolaos. A world of relaxation, set against a truly spectacular natural backdrop that is guaranteed to delight. This fabulous hotel built in the traditional Cretan style, is situated just five minutes' walk from the centre of Aghios Nikolaos, in a relaxing setting surrounded by nature. This hotel boasts a prime location and a wide range of services and facilities in keeping with this superb setting.

What can I say to do this hotel justice, Hotel was faultless so where the staff nothing was too much trouble, entertainment very proffessional, brilliant choice of food. every where was spotless. The only downside is the hotel is looking a bit tired, but having said that I beleive a refurbushment is due to start this winter.
