Wonderful hotel. The landscapes were incredible and the sunsets unforgetable. We had superior suite with sea view - amazing view! Thank you. The hotel restaurant serves best Greek food with a range of tasty and nice wines ;-) Thank you for luxurios comfort , we will definately come back ;-) The noice of landing and starting airplanes from Heraklion Airport were quite frustrating, however in comparison to all the good things, one can bear it and forget about it.

Location was amazing. Water front hotel with excellent sea view. Breakfast was very nice and the staff was extremely helpful. More attention should be taken care of as to room cleanness.

On the beach. Very nice place with nice staff and facilities. Confusion in room rates because of children in rooms. Although I booked for 4adults and 3 children in 2 rooms, they only had a reservation for 4 adults in 2 rooms and wanted to charge extra and were adamant because the booking.com language could be interpreted both ways. We argued over who should get their money back from booking.com. We finally settled it with a $25 voucher in their restaurant "Swell" The restaurant is very good, but not inexpensive.

I loved the water villas suite. Right on the sea front. Very romantic. Bar and restaurant staff were fantastic. They work so hard and such long hours but alway have a lovely warm smile for you. They are the best! I've stayed in many fantastic hotels all over the world and am well travelled, but it would be hard to beat the hospitality of the staff at this hotel. It was spotlessly clean. All inclusive doesn't include brand named alcoholic spirits. Food mediocre. Bathroom facilities not luxurious as you would expect as paid for a suite. Very basic and foul smelling. a bit like insect repellent. Manager holds a cocktail evening so you can tell him what is displeasing as he said he likes to know in order to improve, I didn't have the heart to tell him the shampoo and shower smelt bad as he has such a lovely way about him. Part of the beach segrated for a different 'class'. Although we were allowed to use it, it 's unacceptable to discriminate who lies where on a beach! I can understand the beach four poster beds should be for the peoppe who paid the extra but not a bog standard bed in that area. Should be done away with. Beach staff can be abrupt and make you feel very small if you venture in to the 'hallowed' area. Not many taverns closeby to chose from for eating out, so all inclusive is the better option. Food is plentiful and not bad. We were roobed for a five minute taxi ride. 13 euros there and 20 back! Not on! Crete Airport is manic. Best be prepared for delays.

We stayed at the Knossos in the mid of September. If say in one word - excellent. The hotel managers were above praise. It was a small problem after our arrival: the booked room was not completely suitable for us because of its location - the view was superb - on the pool and sea, but it was quite noisy, especially in nights. So, I asked the Georgia ( sorry, if I write her name incorrectly) and Franco, hotel managers, if they have any free different room for us. The problem has been solved within half an hour! No another sounds, but the waves, wind and birds. The design of the room was marvellous, interesting solution of the bath - it was located in the room without doors, but the showers were two - inside and outside. It was amazing! I prefer the outside one - sun, sky and blooming bugenvillia!!! From our terrace we could see the sea and distant island and heard the waves sound. The hotel territory was good organized, if you would like to attend the public place or if you prefer the privacy - both wishes you could realize. All was good. I have only one small wish - the glass door in the toilet must be longer till the floor. Sometimes it was inconvenient, especially at night.

Great location, The hotel was largely full of guests on fully inclusive package, we were half board and we found the dinner buffet very poor. We ended up taking lunch every day and eating dinner outside the hotel

Very friendly staff, wonderful location, fantastic food -- especially in the ( book in advance ) Swell restaurant. Very near Knossos --well worth a visit. Plenty of activities on site and near although we didn't have time to make use of them as our stay was short.

Suite aan de waterkant, met vrij zeezicht dit was ideaal. Heerlijk eigen terras met twee ligbedden en handdoeken. geen fohn, en harde boxspring, kamer sober als je een kamer of bungalow boekt niet aan de waterkant, dan zit je volgens mij niet echt lekker, tweede of derde rij met uitzicht op een andere bungalow. bungalow lastig te bereiken met een koffer

Bella suite con posizione sul mare. Avevo prenotato una superior e l'albergo, visto che erano libere, mi ha assegnato una suite. Grazie!! Personale molto cordiale. Ottimo ristorante sulla spiaggia con sconto per gli ospiti dell'albergo. Manutenzione un po' carente: dei segni di ruggine sugli elementi cromati delle abat jour e delle piccole crepe malamente ritoccate nei muri.

Chambres bungalow seafront trop petites pour 4. Salle de bain minuscule et vétuste, quoique propre tout de même. Oreillers inconfortables, tout moux. Mauvaises odeurs à l'extérieur (algues?). Bruyant, sous l'axe d'atterrissage de l'aéroport, avec à certaines heures des avions toutes les 2-3 minutes à basse altitude. Serviettes de plages payantes, c'est mesquin pour le prix payé. Au final, très moyen. Mieux vaut payer plus pour avoir vraiment mieux.

La situation de mon bungalow bord de mer, le calme de l'endroit, l'architecture respectueuse de l'environnement La froideur du personnel même si en surface il y a le sourire commercial, voir même une certaine moquerie de certaines personnes (barman piscine de l’hôtel),par contre femme de chambre très gentille, le prix élevé pour une personne seule, la nourriture un peu toujours la même, pas de vrai beurre pour le petit déjeuner mais de la margarine..., Pas très arrangeant en cas de difficulté car j’étais malade le dernier jour et devait rendre ma chambre à 14h pour ne partir qu'à 19h30 ai j'ai demandé un endroit pour me reposer tranquillement car je ne pouvais même pas aller au soleil sur la plage et ils en avaient rien à faire et m'ont laissé dans le hall d'accueil...,

A praia é ótima, o atendimento prestado pelo Franco Ferrari. O por do sol da varanda do quarto é muito bonito. Hotel perfeito para famílias com crianças e casais maduros. Não gostamos do café da manhã, e o fato do hotel ser afastado do centro de Chersonissos e Heraklion. O chuveiro não era bom, esquentava e esfriava, além do box ser com cortina que acabava molhando o banheiro todo.

отличный пляж, чистое море, красивый удобный номер с видом на море, тишина, возможность путешествий на рейсовом автобусе и на арендованном автомобиле, приветливый персонал, который очень старается помочь во всем, весь пляжный инвентарь, катамараны и байдарки бесплатно, ежедневная уборка номеров и пляжного песка, мало народу и никто не мешает, непохо поездили по побережью (от Агиос-Николаос до Ретимнон, есть красивые городки, но лучшего места на море, чем наш отель, не увидели персонал практически не говорит на русском, но объясняться не очень трудно, далековато от населенных пунктов, где можно вечером просто прогуляться по улицам и магазинам

l'unico aspetto negativo dell'hotel è la sua ubicazione in una zona piuttosto degradata dove non esiste un paese per fare una passeggiata. il problema è neutralizzato dal fatto che dall'hotel non si vede nulla di quello che eè fuori ed i servizi sono tali che si può anche limitaqrsi a fare vita di hotel

eine sehr gute Lage, tolles Meer, nicht überfüllt, eine große Terasse, schöner Ausblick da der Flughafen in der Nähe ist, stören die Flugzeuge schon, das Babybett war leider nicht so gut, der Zimmerpreis zu für diese Ausstattung. Das Ausfüllen der Formulare bei der Ankunft fand ich sehr lästig, man hat einen weiten Weg hinter sich mit einem kleinen Kind und muss noch lange solche Fragen beantworten, wie wann sind Sie gekommen und wann reisen Sie ab...

“The rooms are really good, we booked the superior family room and it was huge with plenty of space for us and our 3 children. The rooms are serviced daily and the meals are good as well. We enjoyed breakfast and most dinners here (buffet style) and it is excellent value at 5 euro for breakfast and 10 euro for dinner (half price for children too!). Would highly recommend a stay at Star beach village, Crete is beautiful and we would love to come back!! There is also an on site spa and beauty rooms which were lovely, definitely worth the splurge!” Belinda, Manadon Plymouth |
