The rooms are pretty good but not great, the pools are quite nice, and the beach is attractive but a bit exposed and susceptible to winds. The biggest negative at the hotel, however, was the food, which is all-inclusive and served in a cafeteria-like atmosphere. The qualitiy of the food was mediocre and there was little variation from day-to-day. Moreover,... more

We stayed in fodele beach for one week mid october 2007, and didn't want to go home! The food was excellent, the hotel staff are all superstars! My teenage sons loved it tooo! no queing for the waterpark or the watersports. This is a highly recommended hotel and we are going back in 2008, but for 2 weeks this time.... more

The hotel was very clean, The staff were very helpfull and freindly,the food was very nice,we had a... more

Having recently returned from a stay in Fodele Beach I thought I would post a brief summary of the trip. Was it a great hotel - yes! Whilst not as some would expect a 5* hotel in the UK to be the facilities, food and staff were none the less very, very good. Facilities - Our room was spacious, modern,... more

Having read the various negative reviews on your website regarding this hotel I was extremely apprehensive and nervous about what we were letting ourselves in for. Had I read your review prior to booking our holiday I would certainly not have went to the Fodele Beach. Like others we thought we were treating ourselves to 5 star luxury. We travelled... more

Was apprehensive after reading some dire reviews, but I don’t know where the reviewers stayed, it certainly was not here. The hotel was excellent the staff very friendly, the only downside was the location which is a little isolated, the food was of excellent quality with plenty of choice to suit everyone. The bar staff were excellent especially Nikos and... more

I first went to Fodele Beach 2 years ago and have wanted to go back since so booked another week there for end of August. It's def a place for families and couples, not stag/hen do's. I had an excellent time. True, 5* is an overrating but if you get, say, a 7 night package deal it's worth the money... more

We stayed in this wonderful hotel in October 2006. As fully advertised the hotel is located in a fairly remote part of Crete, this is fine for walking but if you wish to shop then there is a regular bus service running from the main road into the capital of Heraklion. All the staff are very helpful and if there... more

We thought this would be a luxury hotel but were disappointed. It wasn't that bad but not what we were expecting. The food was average (we are not a fussy family) and there was plenty of it but the dining room was always very busy and you sometimes felt very rushed. The pools were lovely except there were not enough... more
