Orpheas Resort Hotel (Adults Only)

My friend & I stayed at this hotel for 7 days in early June. We had a late afternoon flight, so with the 2 hour time difference, we didn't arrive until about 10pm. We were greeted warmly by Antonis, who informed us how to check in on our phones, which was relatively painless. We were shown to the dining room for a delicious cold platter of meats, cheeses & Greek salad 😋 which was laid on due to us missing our evening meal. We were shown to our room by a nice lady with a torch, as the lighting was quite subtle amongst the garden paths at this time of night. We had a ground floor room with twin beds, 2 wardrobes with plenty of hangers & a shower in the bathroom. There is a normal size hairdryer on top of the safe in one of the wardrobes, so you can use it in the main room in front of a big mirror rather than one of those dinky things that are fixed on the bathroom wall with a steamed up mirror. The shower sometimes flooded if you're not careful, but that wasn't really an issue as the cleaner would always replace the floor mat if it got drenched! Our room was on the end facing the seafront, although the trees blocked some of the view it was lovely to sit outside on our little terrace listening to the waves. The gardens are well kept & watered, so everything is lush & green. There is a separate beach bar open during the day for snacks, light lunches & drinks. All very reasonable. You can charge it to your room or pay by cash or card. There is also a pool there, which is very quiet if you want to chill out. There is also a Spa just to the left of it, but we didn't use it. There are sunbeds with an umbrella on the beach, but you have to pay €6 daily. We felt this was quite reasonable & you can charge this to your room or just pay the guy when he comes up to give you your ticket. The breakfast was plentiful, but everything was in hot plates, so fried eggs were hard & the omelette were sliced up. There were no scrambled eggs & the toaster was extremely slow. There were all the usual continental dishes, yoghurt you spooned yourself, pastries, cereal & fresh fruit. The evening meals were buffet style with 1 or 2 choices for vegetarians & the salads were wonderful, as was the fresh friut. They also had show cooking with a different dish each night. There's hardly any entertainment at this hotel, but the bars across the busy main road sometimes had live music & the Pirates bar just along from our hotel was quite lively. There's a large supermarket across the road too, so if you want any provisions or water, it's ideal. There is a fridge in your room, but it's a fixed mini bar with charges if you have something from it. The drinks at the hotel were very reasonable & the barman is so friendly. He will go out of his way to make whatever you like & he makes great cocktails🍸 The hotel is adults only & is reflected in the clientele. We did an evening trip to Chania town booked at one of the kiosks just outside our hotel. It took an hour on an air-cond

Please ignore comments from DFID77 ! This hotel serves the BEST and freshest food! Yes, you may pay more for extras but this is not an All Inclusive Hotel! You get what you pay for and the staff are ALL friendly and very welcoming. I would recommend to anyone wanting a small, exclusive, adults only boutique hotel. In my opinion it can’t be faulted!

We enjoyed seven days in Orpheas resort. A great hotel with friendly staff and very nice decoration, Breakfast always fresh ,tasty with big variety Room very clean,big and elegant renovated. Private hotel beach with sunbeds and lovely gardens.

This hotel seems to adapt the low-cost model. You pay a base price for the bare necessities - if you want more or even something of quality: you pay. The room is quite spacious, however the bathroom floor floods when you take a shower, with all the smells from the sewage that comes with such a flooding. You want to use the safe in the room? You pay. Breakfast proposes two fresh options by a lovely cook: eggs and pancakes. The rest have been bought in bulk and are simply heated (if you’re lucky). Filter coffee included, you want cappuccino or latte? You pay. Water with sweet orange flavour included, you want orange juice? You pay. Staff was unfriendly and didn’t look you in the eyes when “welcoming”. Well located at beachfront with private beach. However, you want to use the loungebeds on this private beach? You pay. Also keep in mind that the wind on Crete is quite intense on the North, so red flag every day. Cherry on the top was our check-out. My partner booked a massage (100€ for 55mn) and specifically asked if the timeslot was okay since we had check-out at 12pm. Massage therapist checked with reception, no problem. 12:07 - reception called to asked if we were coming 12:09 - cleaning lady knocked on the door and shouted “check-out is 12!!!” while pointing at her watch. Final note: this adult-only hotel is sandwiched between two family friendly hotels with all the noise from mini-discos and whatsoever you might expect.

As soon as you enter this quirky hotel you feel a sense of calm and welcoming. We arrived in the early hours, the rooms have individual styles, the bed was beautifully comfortable. We were there for 2 weeks our room was on the 1st floor, for us it was ideal. Roomy, excellent balcony, beautiful views of mountains to the left, the gardens, and partial sea view to the right. A short stroll to the sandy beach, pool bar and choice of pools. The lobby was a calm, cooler relaxing area enjoyed by us too. The breakfast was plentiful and the food good. Alternatively, it's location lends itself to handy access to shops, supermarkets and a choice of tavernas. (One thing to note, the main road is busy and not the easiest to cross for those who may find a dash across, not that easy to do!) However, you are NOT disturbed by any car noise within the hotel. Orpheas Resort is a beautiful, tranquil, homely hotel. The staff are simply excellent and certainly help the stay to be as good as it possibly could be. We want to go back again, to relax and have another restorative break. So as an adult only hotel, if you are looking to 'step off' this relaxing hotel is a pleasure to recommend ⛱️💞

Just got back from an amazing week away with my partner, met some lovely couples who we will definitely stay in contact with and definitely friends for life! We got on so well with some, that we were with them most evenings. I love how secluded and private the hotel is, with being an adults only hotel this is really important to us. Loved the added touch of the hot tub, it was so roomy it fit all 4 of us in one time which came in handy. Thanks again for the week, I felt so free and have come back revitalised.
