Fodele Beach Water Park Resort

We have just spent the week at the Fodele Beach Hotel and had a fantastic time. We were a family of 5, with two young children (8&9). On the second day, our children went to kids club and we barely saw them for the rest of the week they enjoyed it so much! The entire entertainment/mini team by Pink Wave were amazing with our children but we were particularly impressed by the dedication and warmth shown by one staff member, Karina. Karina was kind, caring and naturally engaging and will be truly missed by our children.

Wonderfully clean rooms and all areas. Excellent selection of food and the two restaurants are worth visiting. The hotel has a handy app so you can book your restaurants and learn more about the facilities and surrounding areas. Wi-Fi is great. Plenty beds on the beach and around the pool. You do need to be at the pool early for a good spot and you do need to be decent and not hog the beds if you’re not planning to spend the day there. Entertainment was fine. A group of youngsters working very hard and doing a great job. Spa was superb, well worth the price. Rafael and Maria were absolute professionals. Take some euros and tip the staff and be polite. My only grumble is just how rude some guests are to the lovely hard working staff. The gym doesn’t open until 8am. We felt that was too late as we wanted to spend an hour in the gym each morning but didn’t want it to encroach on our morning so 7am would be much better. The parasols round the pool don’t adjust so if you need the shade like me, that can be a small issue. Oh and the pool tables were 2.50euro a game which I thought was excessive and as A result they don’t seem to get used much. Very busy with families with infants so we probably wouldn’t return as our children are nearly grown up but I would absolutely recommend to anyone with children. Water sports were great. We went paragliding and on the boat bed. Lots of steps (kept us fit!) water park was brilliant. Just enough to keep us entertained for an hour or so each tea time. We arrived in the early hours and there was a small buffet set out for us which was hugely appreciated. The guy in the reception knocks up the best cocktails and is super friendly. Overall, we loved it

My wife have make a spa day!amazing! Kind stuff,very nice environment! Greedings to all team of the spa especially to maria ! We recommend it for sure. A lot of massage programs to do, and they was make really for hole one hour! Thank you very much

I recently stayed at this hotel and had a fantastic experience. The weather was perfect, and the people were incredibly welcoming and hospitable. The staff at the hotel were super friendly, and the spa was amazing. I visited with my two kids, aged 8 and 10, and they had the time of their lives. Highly recommended!

A really good, family friendly hotel and resort. We travelled with 6 children aged 3 or under and 6 adults and stayed in superior family rooms with garden views. The rooms were great, two bedrooms and a bathroom with a fridge, tv and excellent air conditioning. The hotel is nice and clean with a good variety of bars and restaurants. The water park is a great feature and the pools are nice. The beach and sea is lovely and good selection of sun beds and shade across the beach. Access around the hotel is tricky if you have a pram as there are lots of different layers to the complex separated by steps so I’d recommend taking a carrier if you can. There are some negative reviews about food and bar queues but we found the food was really nice, especially the beach bbq which was excellent. There were queue at some of the bars but not long and they moved quickly. The entertainment is a bit budget compared to other resorts we’ve stayed at so that brings it down a notch on the review. I wouldn’t visit if travelling with adults only as children dominate the pool during the day.

Brilliant experience at the Aegeo Spa at Fodele beach. Beautiful Space and very welcoming ladies there to help. Thank you Katerina for your service, so friendly. I highly recommend visiting the Aego spa at Fodele beach. 10/10 definately worth checking it out

First of all I would like to say that the hotel is in beautiful location and the staff is very friendly. Unfortunately the hotel is understaffed and the queues were long. The main negative thing for us was day and night entertainment. There wasn’t much going on at the pool or beach during the day, no music at the pool area. Also evening entertainment felt like a nursery show. Really disappointing. Hotel requires walking quite a lot of steps which we didn’t mind. Also, we’ve had a car, so we managed to do some exploring without the car we would be really bored. Overall good, but definitely not 5*.

Travelling as a single mum, this has been a wonderful holiday. The staff were incredible, especially Pantalons americano coffee and Christina tidying up. Everything was clean, always felt safe and looked after. Special shout out to the aegeo spa with great massage for mum and son together, where my 8 year old had a chocolate aromatherapy massage and Maria really took my shoulder tension away. Finally loved the mini club and entertainments team - Beas water gym was a fave, and the staff have been so kind at the kids club. Great break.

Fodele Beach is a great hotel for a family holiday. The rooms and hotel are clean, modern and well decorated and the views to the beach and hills are stunning. The wide variety of swimming pools and easy access to the (very clean) beach is great. The food in the main restaurant for all courses is good quality and plenty of variety. We also attended the Sunday night beach BBQ which was really good. Our 5 year old loved going to mini/kids club activities both in the day and the evening, all the entertainers were so friendly and we felt very comfortable with them all. The team put a lot of effort into the Sunday night animation show and our son really enjoyed the production. Whilst the location seems remote, there is easy access to a bus to Herakleion which runs each hour and takes around 30 minutes, and a team member who sits in reception each day to help book excursions and guide you with tourist queries. We found it quite easy to travel around once directed. I also enjoyed a visit to the spa where all the team were very professional and made me feel comfortable and relaxed. One piece of feedback is that we were unable to book in for any a la carte meals as all the restaurants were fully booked for our time, but appreciate it is a busy hotel and the lovely hostess ensured we got booked onto the BBQ instead which was appreciated.
