Here for the last stop on our Honeymoon. The bed is rock hard and the only bedding is a sheet. The AC doesn’t work. The bathroom floor was soaking wet when we checked in and the hallway floor is FULL of long brown hair. “Side sea view” means if you stand on your toes on the balcony, you can see a sliver of the water. DO NOT BOOK. Our travel agent is calling around looking for new places for us to spend the last 2 nights of our Honeymoon as this place is just awful. If you call down to the front desk they say don’t worry about it.

Hotel's Favorite
We returned from a fabulous seven day holiday on Saturday night. The staff were absolutely fantastic, friendly and very helpful especially Kevin, Penelope, Joanna, Natalie, Katherine and Kostas. Our room was immaculately maintained. We were in Room 227 It had a balcony with a side view of the sea and was equipped with a TV, refrigerator, a coffee machine and a kettle. We had booked full board and the choice of food was vast and delicious. The chef and his team did a wonderful job. We were delighted to be entertained with traditional Greek dancing and a Greek lyra player. He was brilliant . He was accompanied by a very good keyboard player. Everything was just perfect and we are looking forward to returning next year! Many thanks to all the staff for making this truly Fabulous Holiday!…

Stayed for a week All inclusive during may and here’s my opinion (that was shared with many others at the hotel). I don’t usually write reviews but imo I feel like these are some things people should consider or be made aware of before booking. Pros: -Wifi from hotel works on the beach. -Balcony’s are huge. -The view is nice and the area is beautiful however our view was blocked by houses. -The sweet breads and orange juice was delicious. -Entertainment was very good, every night but Sunday which is normal I think. Cons: -Breakfast average despite the raving reviews. -Some people got complimentary bottles of wine in their room, we didn’t. -Our toilet door didn’t lock, and the bathroom window to the toilets is in the corridor so when you use the toilet everyone can hear you? Weird feature. -The shower fluctuates between temperatures so one minute it’ll be boiling hot and the next, refreshingly cold. -The “all inclusive” only includes certain soft drinks/alcoholic drinks, not allowed any unbranded or branded bottled drinks including water, cocktails, iced coffee and only unbranded sodas etc. Only allowed water or local soft drinks on tap* *we was going to upgrade but we had to pay for the whole 7 days even though we were already two days in which seemed a bit silly. -Food is average, there is a wide selection but it is basic food. -No one has been as friendly to us as the reviews may make them seem to be. -When we first arrived with a group of people from the shuttle one of the hotel reception staff members watched us struggle to carry our luggage in through the doors but proceeded to help the group of people after us since once he realised my partner was opening the door for everyone and it was a struggle. -They were fixing the road nearby so when you were lying on the beach/by the pool relaxing during the day you had machinery noise constantly right on the beach. All in all it was an okay stay but not what I’d expect from an “all inclusive” by the beach.…

This hotel is not 4* at any level. The hotel is split with a road running through the middle with each side having a small pool. Our room with side view was nice enough but beware if the shower. There is obviously an issue with temperature control as other guests mentioned it to. The shower suddenly switches to cold or scalding hot. There is only one bar which is the pool bar with one member of staff, so be prepared to queue even for water. Soft drinks from the pump tasted awful and it took 3 days for an engineer to attend. During this time no alternative soft drinks were available so we had to buy from the supermarket across the road. The cooked food isn’t great, limited selection and never hot. The salads are good but there is little variation from day to day. If you want toast with your breakfast or a cup of tea/coffee then be prepared to queue a while. There is one coffee machine in this hotel and two x 2 slice toasters. The all inclusive isn’t what it’s made out to be when you book. You are required to pay an additional €10 per person per day on arrival for the full all inclusive package. The complimentary spa treatment is list if it’s not booked within 24 hrs of arrival but you’re not told this. There is a coffee machine in your room for you to admire, one coffee pod each in your whole stay and no refills. This hotel isn’t environmentally friendly either, lots of plastic and towels exchanged every day even when they are hanging in the towel rail. On a positive, the beach and sea view is beautiful although the umbrellas and beds look tired and many beds broken. There are some lovely restaurants within walking distance offering amazing food and entertainment, something the hotel is lacking. There are quite a few small shops nearby and a regularly bus service to Chania. Unfortunately, it’s been a disappointing stay and we wouldn’t recommend.…

We went to the Kalyves Beach hotel for a 7-day visit with fond memories of our first visit last year; this trip was even better, with wonderful beach access, lovely rooms, and absolutely amazing staff; the food was buffet-style, and very enjoyable, with a decent variety on offer every meal. The rooms were very clean, as was the rest of the hotel premises, and the staff were so friendly, attentive and obliging - would definitel recommend this hotel, and will be going back!

I visited as a party of 4 adults, the resort was lovely & quiet in a good location to get to Chania. We left unfortunately disappointed as this hotel was nowhere near our experiences of 4* hotels previously stayed at. Positives: Quiet sandy beach 20 minutes to Chania by bus Clean Polite staff We are not posh or particularly picky but there were quite a few negatives: Biggest disappointment was food, this is personal as I know a lot op people are very happy with the menu - however aired chips/ nearly cold fried eggs in the morning, the one coffee machine not working, food trays often empty. Souvlaki was fatty cubes of chewy meat, even the moussaka was of poor quality. Presentation needs improving - pizza slices were tipped into the tray, some upside down. Often wine ran out. We ate out a couple of times on an evening and lunch & it wasn't surprising to see others from out hotel also eating out. The water temp in the shower was a problem - burning hot or freezing cold reported this to reception and the caretaker came but unfortunately no difference, solution - reduce the pressure & the temp became more consistent. Double bed made up from two matrasses, one side super comfy the other too hard , again this was reported , a mattress topper was provided. Friends fridge in the room had the door missing from the freezer section - everything in the fridge froze. Not always anything to dry your hands on in toilets around the hotel Watered down beer Sorry but we would not recommend.…
