CONS: No tea or coffee making facilities in the room, although there is a fridge you could put cold drinks in if you went and bought some. Not allowed to take food OR DRINKS from the restaurant. So you can't take a drink to have in your room, while you get ready in the morning, or to go and sit by the pool. The pool bar opens at 11am. Breakfast finishes at 10am; so you cannot get ANYTHING to eat OR DRINK between 10 - 11am. Also again between 5.30 - 6pm. The food in the restaurant is not great. It is okay. The choice is extremely limited if you're vegetarian, which both my Mum and sister are, so they really struggled to find something to eat each day. The restaurant is below ground level with only a tiny outside area. Inside is a bit stark and bare, and feels like a canteen. Not a particulrly nice place to sit and eat every day. And you're not allowed to take food out of the restaurant. So no leisurely lunch over looking the sea, or the pool. The food at the pool is really not good. Stodgy pizza, pre made sandwiches, greek salad and chips. There is no self service water machine by the pool, which they could do with. There are no tables by the sunbeds, so you have to put your drink on the grass where it is likely to fall over. The Bar area is in reception and, even when they have a DJ, they do not alter the lighting at all. So the bar area is lit up like a fast food place or a supermaket, all night. There is absolutely ambiance whatsoever! The refurbished rooms are pleasantly decorated but... No full length wardrobe space for dresses No full length mirror No second mirror for applying make up (Only one mirror above the sink) No where to dry swimming things and towels (could do with a little fold down airer on the balcony) Not enough hooks for our room towels Only one pillow each. (We did eventually get a 2nd pillow each, but it took about 4 days of asking) No tissues in the room The tiniest safe you've ever seen. Not big enough for a laptop or ipad. The Shampoo, shower gel and soap were not replenished when they ran out. You are not automatically given a key for the safe. You have to ask for it. And then you are given a key WITH YOUR ROOM NUMBER ON IT!!! So if you lose your key, whoever finds it will know exactly which safe it opens. Room keys also have your room number on them, so again, if you drop your key, or someone steals your bag, they will know which room they now have a key for. On arrival, we were told our room was not available and we would have to stay in a different room for one night. There was no apology or explanation and no compensation offered of any kind. The room we stayed in the first night was absolutely awful. Tired and rundown, dark, dingy and uncomfortable. We were extremely dissapointed and upset but, it was too late in the evening to even think about trying to book something else so we had to make do. We folded the spare blankets and put them under the sheets to try and make the bed more comfortable because they were so hard. The issue with our room also impacted the first day of our holiday because we didn't feel like we could go any where, or relax, until we had moved room at 1pm. We went to reception at 1pm and were given the key for the room we had actually booked. No one came to help us with our bags. The room fiasco also meant we almost missed lunch and had to get something quickly while the staff were tidying up and taking things away all around us. Unfortunately, it then started raining very heavily, so we were unable to go out, or sit by the pool, or have anything to eat or drink in our room. And then there was quite a bit of water was coming through the ceiling of our room. I went to get someone. He came and looked, and made a call, and someone else came and looked and still the water was coming through, and this coming and going of peopple lasted about 2 hours. We felt like we were in an episode of Fawlty Towers. No apology was offered for the leak, or any kind of compensation for the inconvenience. The rain stopped but it was forecast to rain again over night. Luckily, it didn't. I did not see a spa... there is a half finished, single storey building between the hotel on the pool... with toilets and empty rooms... I'm guessing this is where the spa will be, but they should remove spa from the listed facilities until it is open. PROS: Most of the staff are lovely. Especially Stelios and Maria on reception, and Fani at the bar. The location is quite good if you want a quiet holiday. There are plenty of restaurants and shops nearby and a couple of bars on the beach within walking distance that offer waiter service to the beachbeds. Rethymno is only a 15 minute taxi ride away that costs about 12-15 euros, and is a really lovely city.…

A perfectly okay hotel located in a slightly smaller town. The rooms were cleaned every day but had definitely benefited from a renovation. Slightly worn. The beds were pretty hard! Plus for pool area and close to the sea! All-inclusive hotel where the food was surprisingly good. worked well even for vegetarians even if it was à lot of meat. But what raises the rating is the professional and friendly staff in the bar and restaurant. The staff in the restaurant was always helpful and make your visit good. Extra plus to the bar staff Fani, Vaggelis and Georgina who always gave the highest service and a smile on their faces!

We stayed here for 1 week w all inclusive, very disappointing. The food all taste the same and is not homemade, bad selection and variety. Coffee and drinks all taste like water- its bad quality in general. We will not come back again- the only good thing is the staff and service. Also hotel rooms are outdated and bad beds🫤

Positive aspects The hotel is kept very clean and most of the members of staff come across as being friendly and helpful. The hotel is reasonably priced as for our 7 days we paid about 1300 euro for two: standard room with a garden/pool view and the hotel’s all-inclusive package. The rooms and main hotel buildings are located about 100 m from the beach with the beach/snack bar being situated near the beachfront. The snack bar and seating facilities more or less block a sea view for ground floor rooms. The main road to Rethymnon is located just behind the hotel thus you have easy access to proximity services: supermarkets, shops, busses, car rental places etc.. The hotel is generally calm (no children allowed under 16, I believe) with two entertainment evenings per week. (Wednesdays and Fridays) The main restaurant is 100 % self-service and has a variety of beverages available: soft drinks, one light draught beer, draught red, white and rosé wines. Our room had a balcony with a small round table and two chairs and there were creepers growing up along the wall which were very nice. Other aspects On our arrival at the hotel no welcome drink was provided. We spent our first night in a room at the back of the hotel near the road mentioned above. We asked to change rooms as there was quite a bit of noise. Improved sound proofing would be of benefit. Our room was changed without any problem. There was a safe in each room but they were not free of charge. …

We've been with friends here 6 nights "all inclusive". Good things: 1. the beach bar lady - she is awesome. 2. The hotel is near the sea. 3. Receptionists are very friendly and helpful. 4. Almost everything is clean and enviroment looks beautiful. Cleaners doing good job also. 5. Food is quite good. Things which should be improved: 1. Most of the cocktails are almost the same, just different colors.. beer was also not as good as expected. 2. You can't sit where you want in the dinning room and then you need to wait till table will be ready to sit, so you need to wait with the full plate of food till all be ready... 3. We had a feeling that we were stangely being watched by the personal - we had feeling that it was because we were much younger (30+) than the rest of the people (50+), so it was a little bit uncomfortable. 4. One evening in the lounge we had small incident when hotel manager (i think it was a manager as he commands to other waitress what to do in the dinning room) was working as a bartender in the lounge: my girlfriend was looking in the meniu and he grabbed the meniu from her hands, put it in the other side of the bar and went away without taking order from her. We were a little bit shocked. 5. If you will order lunch basket - don't expect to get something good - we got one sandwich with olive and tomatoes, 1 apple, 1 orange and if i remember good - 1 water/nectar, so you must keep that in mind and plan where you should eat the real lunch somewhere. 6. We didn't like that bathroom (separated only with glass) was inside the room - this caused constant moisture in our room. 7. Beach bar working only till 17:30h, when it is sunny and hot it doesn't makes sense to go inside the hotel to get something to drink. 8. Toilet is only in your room or 1 in the main building, so you need to go from the beach all wet to the room or to that. Building which I don't think is very cool. 9. Would be good to have "do not disturb" option in the rooms as in the moment the cleaner always will come and you don't have any choice. 10. Too bad there are nothing to do in the hotel except go to the beach - would be fun to have some entertainment options. 11. Sometimes it was strange when we were trying to order something from the bar and bartenders, in example, were filling beer half of the glass and other half with foam and it was done specially. Conclusion: hotel is oriented to older people (50+), if you are such age you will be fine - it is a good place to chill, however if you are under 40 years, you should consider other place to stay.…

I just came back from Eva Bay hotel in Adele village, Crete. It was my fourth time visiting Greece and the first time on Crete. What can I say, everyone on the staff from receptionists to restaurant crew are super friendly, beach is 100 m away, the sea is milky warm and the food is delicious! Bravo to the staff team for making our holiday such a pleasure! The hotel is small, which is my personal preference to the big chain hotels. I would definitely come again and recommend Eva Bay to everyone for a quiet warm get away.

Unforgettable experience at Eva bay hotel I arrived very late at night (1am) and Alexander (the manager) warmly greeted me. He served me a meal in the restaurant on my arrival in the middle of the night. -The rooms are spacious, modern and redone. -The restaurant is moderately large. The food is very good, varied and changes every day. Great choice, there is something for all tastes (European and traditional Greek cuisine) -Pool overlooking a beautiful private beach. But the most striking is the kindness of the staff! Helpful, smiling, attentive. The hospitality of Eva bay's Staff is exceptional. If you rent a car, its situation is strategic because it allows to visit a lot of things in Crete (Elafonissi beach: 2h / Matala: 1h / Heraklion: 1h / Chania: 1h) Thanks again to all the staff of Eva Bay for your smiles and your kindness!
