Kapsaliana Village Hotel
9.6 (58 reviews)

Kapsaliana Village Hotel ★★★★

📍 Kapsaliana, Arkadi

"This is a perfect hotel for couples to relax and have a romantic experience, located in the heart of Crete. The hotel and surrounding grounds are beautiful with meticulous attention to detail throughout. The restaurant here is really first class and serves food of a Michelin star quality with an emphasis on Cretan cuisine. A particular highlight was the wine tasting led by Stelios. A fantastic selection of Cretan wines that were interesting and delicious. We learned a lot from Stelios, who guided us expertly through the history of wine making in Crete and the flavour profiles of the wines. Fantastic experience and excellent value for money. We will be coming again."

Hotel Palladion by Anayia All Inclusive Resorts ★★★

📍 Adelianos Kampos, Adelianos Kampos

"Hotel was located in a great area, close to the beach, plenty of bars and restaurants, travel shops for day trips and ATMs. However the hotel itself has a lot to answer to. The day we arrived we were not told of times for breakfast lunch and dinner, no wrist band provided which I found odd due to the bar being open to public as well as the guests at the hotel. The man on the reception was really creepy and made me, my mam and sister very uncomfortable. He actually told my sister to come back later on her own as he had a secret to tell her and we weren't the only targets so if your going on holiday by yourself I would not recommend this hotel. I put a chair infront of my hotel of a night time just because he made me feel unsafe. The positives of the hotel was the food was lovely, very authentic to Greece. I can't complain about that however if you're going as a family with either fussy eaters or young children there isn't a great variety for children that would not usually eat something out of their comfort zone. The bar was another downfall to the hotel. We was all inclusive however the drink choice was not great. I like a good variety of cocktails and this hotel had only two different ones, as well as dry wine and no Prosecco. The lady on the bar was nothing but rude. Made everyone in the hotel feel like an inconvenience, she was miserable and constantly either on her phone voice messaging or nowhere to be seen. She also pick of chose when to close the bar. When the website states 11pm and she closes anywhere between 10/10.30. She also selectively chose who she liked and didn't liked given us who she didn't a plastic cup for all of our drinks and glasses and big portions of drinks to those she liked. There was also no music around the pool or the bar. The lady behind the bar had white music for herself! The only alcoholic drink that was nice was a mojito or a baileys however with the baileys she did 1/4 measurements. The shower was a-bit minging if I'm honest dirty and if your a tall or larger person you aren't gonna have much luck trying to get a wash. The pictures on their website are not even there pictures either and from a hotel down the road so really it's false advertisement. And they tried to over charge us hotel tax as the end of the stay when on the first day was told €12 for four nights and then when we checked out they tried to charge us €48 which makes me think it was due avoiding the creepy man as it was a lovely lady on reception on the last day of stay."

"Spent a relaxing week, at this smaller hotel. This created a very peaceful atmosphere. Every where was so clean and tidy. Food was delicious and plentiful. Rooms were spacious, the sea view and sunsets were so beautiful. All the staff go above and beyond to help make your stay a very happy memory. My only criticism, is no hand sanitizer around or in the restaurant. I witnessed several people coming out the WC without washing hands."

Zeus Hotels Ydoria Resort Hotels in Arkadi

Zeus Hotels Ydoria Resort

"I was in this hotel with my friend two weeks ago. Firstly I want to say shortly, that this hotel was really a good choice. We were afraid a little by older reviews, but the hotel is under a new management, and everything works totally great! And now the longer part. We really enjoyed our staying there. The rooms wasnt big, but they had everything which we needed. It was clean, and the cleaning women did a great job every time too. The food was delicious, and there were soo much options what to pick for breakfast, lunch and dinner too. Everything was good, I did not have a single bad meal. Also the food bar next too the pools was really great. The were 4 pools, so even if the hotel is big, there is a lot of space in the pool anytime. The hotel receptionist were really nice and they could solve every problem. Hotel is really close to the beach, but also to some shops and bus station, which is great. The bar offered a lot of really good drinks. And the beer to. As a guy from Czech Republic, I am really picky and critical about beers, but this was OK. Also there was some animation programme (with Rico and Tekla), which was fun. I really did not find any minuses or disadvantages of this hotel. Maybe the bar could be open little longer, also the pools, but thats a detail. But the most important thing is, that really every, every single one employee of this hotel, from receptionist, cooks, cleaning ladies, people in dining rooms, every of them was really friendly, kind, and did never show any single stamp of negative emotions to us. That was really something, that i never experienced yet, and something what really made my vacation even better. As a last thing, i would like to highlight two employees from the hotel. The first one is the older bartender, who was really nice to everyone, always made top tier drinks, never asked us anything about how much beers are we ordering (and we ordered really a lot HAHA– I said I am from Czechia, so..). He also smiled a lot, even when we were a little bit drunk already and ordered more and more, and we also appreciated, that he could speak our Czech language little bit too. The second one is a smaller young girl with dark hair from the bar and from dining room, who took care about the dishes and the glasses and cups. I swear, I have never seen someone soooooo much positive as her. She was smiling every single time. The positive energy, which came from her, was enormous. I had to tell this to her the last day, because I really never seen anything like this (you can add me on Instagram - @polasek_jiri45, and I would thank you for that once more, you were so kind). This two people really need to be promoted and get higher salary! But once more, I thank all of employees of this hotel, because i really enjoyed my staying here. It was so much better, than I expected, and i really recommend EVERYONE visiting this place. Thank you!"

Rimondi Grand Resort & Spa Hotels in Arkadi

Rimondi Grand Resort & Spa

"We are here now and it’s definitely off season. The resort is not set up for cooler weather. The beautiful pools are freezing cold and there’s absolutely nothing to do. We thought we’d pay to go into their indoor pool and hot tub (everything is an extra charge) and we paid. The indoor pool is COLD too and the “hot” tub is a little warmer than the pool and has no bubbles. Such a waste of a beautiful space. The resort is stunning but the service, the experience and the actual rooms are all a disappointment. We would never return here. The food is included and we were charged an additional 700 euros for that. It edible food. You won’t starve but it is just that edible. The included drinks are also sub standard. We got a room with a private pool. Also freezing and not worth the extra 70 euros we were charged on top of the room fee. We are glad we got to see Crete. We are happy we rented a car to get out of this place. If we had to stay here, we’d go mad. As beautiful as it is, it’s a shame that it is so poorly managed."

Hotel Palladion by Anayia All Inclusive Resorts ★★★
"Mediocre and dated hotel. Food is truly poor (with the occasional exception)... besides the quality, the worst thing is the hygiene! The restaurant buffet is full of flies that crawl all over the food! We spoke to the front desk but were told that in the summer the windows are left open and flies get in... The hotel pool was green for a good two days. We didn't dare go near it. The bathroom in the room was really small, the bedspreads were very old, and the water pressure was very low (this can happen on an island, but showering can be difficult). The front desk staff was generally friendly, the rooms were a decent size and clean, including the sheets and towels. Despite this, I wouldn't recommend it."

"Amazing hotel with a beautiful atmosphere and very friendly, helpful staff. The food was delicious, especially the desserts! The sea is just a few steps away and the beach is very clean and well maintained. The animation team was fantastic – always smiling and organizing fun activities like boccia, darts, and yoga, which we really enjoyed. I personally attended yoga classes with Steli – very professional and high-level. In the evenings, there were different shows every night and we had so much fun. We had an amazing stay and would definitely come back again! The only things we didn’t really like were the noise from the cleaning staff early in the morning and the water served in the restaurant."

"We have spent a week here and really enjoyed it! The staff was always smiling, helpful and friendly! They greeted us warmly and immediately remembered our room number and eating preferences. That made us feel really welcomed. The breakfasts were fresh and delicious. The hotel has a pool located in beautiful garden. The pool and its area were clean, neat and comfortable to use. The room was quiet (we had the one facing the garden), nice and clean. We had a rented car throughout most of our stay but there are bus stops close to the hotel. The whole stay was super relaxing!"

Caramel, A Grecotel Resort to Live ★★★★★
"Writing this on the last of 4 amazing days here. It’s about one hour from Chania ariport. Everything here was to our liking. This is a luxurious and also very familiy friendly and homely resort. Beautiful rooms and one of the cleanest hotels I’ve ever been to. The pool is amazing. My ten year old loved the mini club, just a few other kids as low season but they became friends and had a great time. Food is delicious, including buffé. Rethymnon 15 min by taxi, beautiful old town however this hotel is so nice we wanted to spend time here! Beach just outside the hotel. Would love to come back soon. Thanks to everyone at the hotel for a perfect time."
