Oct 2019. We arrived late evening and the man on the desk, was not very kind to us, very rude. Had to email a copy of booking to reception to prove who we was. The rest of reception staff was very good during our 2 weeks stay. Our room was located near the main road right at bottom of the steps. Lots & lots of steps, only suitable for anyone who is very fit 140 steps from top floor to our room. Was very fit at end of our 2 weeks. We had a excellent sea view from our room window. The area we stayed in was very modern, newer part of resort. New modern electrics with lots of USB points and wall mounted TV. so it was worth walking down all the steps to get to our room. We only took the transport occasionally. Restaurant - It is a bit disappointing when you first walk in, needs upgrading, redecorating. The staff in the restaurant did look after you, and food was very good standard. Some staff members did serve you most of the evening in different parts of resort, and they where very nice to us. Did try the Greek Restaurant & La Carte Restaurant as well. The Resort was good value for the price which we paid 42% off, but some areas like main restaurant are not 5 star. There was some entertainment, but we would have liked more entertainment most evenings and in the main hotel bar next to reception. Went down to the beach a few times, but it is a long walk down the hills in the heat, best to take the bus. local bus to Herakilion from the resort, it is in a remote area.

Rude reception staff including general manager, small dirty room not what we paid for or what is shown on the web site photos of a standard double room with sea view. We stayed a total of 10 hours and left for alternative accommodation at our expence .We have holidayed on Crete for the past 20 years 2 or 3 times a year and never experienced such rude staff or poor quality accommodation. Based on our brief stay at this hotel I would give it 2* max and that is being generous.

On 9.11, we made a reservation (number 74738506303690 )for hotel named athine palace resort for2 rooms Unfortunately we received something completely different from the pictures in the hotel website. The corridors are dark and unpleasant to walk Rooms with a pungent odor of chlorine. The rooms look like hostel rooms and not 5-star hotel rooms. To get to the room, you have to climb 400 steps and I, as a pregnant woman,in 7 month certainly cannot climb this staircase The vacation became a nightmare The hotel is far from 5 star!!! We are very disappointed and angry. I feel like it's cheating to show different images from reality We asked to cancel the booking but unfortunately they did not agree and we had to stay at the above hotel on holiday without pleasure. we did a reservation through you on 3 rooms. 2 rooms on my name and one room on the name liran Yehuda. Thank you for your treatment and waiting for a response. I request a refund Kind Regards Nitzan Steinberg Phone-972504893595 .

Was a great beach, and the room size was good but the rest was terrible. The room smelt mouldy and damp and we had a 2 bed 2 bath, The staff's attitude was terrible, they didn't greet guests they were rude. The dining experience was like a school dining hall and was a horrible experience. this is definitely not what I d expect of a all inclusive hotel. I think this is like a 3 star motel. the bedding was threadbare. the cocktails at night were in tiny glasses and was terrible. It definitely doesn't match the pictures on the website.

Far from 5 star hotel
we was expecting 5* resort, unfortunately it was 5* but 30 years ago, in my opinion it was 2* star resort. first impression from the reception they clear do not know what they are doing, and it was look like Monty Phyton. If not the older gentleman in restaurant who delivered with his younger team 6* service and team from SPA we will be more than disappointing. If you have 5* hotel invest some money to give the feeling of 5*. There was other people who meet the same problems and get the same feel like we had about the hotel and been disappointed about the standards and service. Ladies in reception are talk to few different people at the same time, answering phones what call frustrations, and make you feel not important.

Excellent beach, friendly and helpful staff.
It was great to swim at the private beach everyday. Very relaxing and you felt everything available. Friendly staff who went out of their way to make you feel happy and well looked after. Two special meal occasions: Greek Tavern and the A la Carte experience were stand-outs. Negatives? None at all. Luckily we had a room near the main reception and restaurants, as it appeared other guests further away had quite a treck up and down from rooms to get eat etc. Maybe the hotel could put on a better transport system to get about. All in all: a great stay and I'd recommend to anyone wanting a good relax.

Great Resort Hotel
Great setup with lots to do. It was fun to walk around the grounds and discover new things at every turn. It is a massive footprint and not for folks looking to have everything in one spot. Each area offers a different feel and experience. However, the food was not too great and 3 of 4 in our party got ill from it. Biggest complaint was food and lack of ability to get room service.

lovely location and charmingly built hotel
We are a family of 4, 2 adults and 2 boys aged 6 and 8. My eldest wanted to go to Crete as he is very interested in Greek history and culture and we decided that Crete would be the best place for good weather as it was the easter week. The hotel was charmingly designed and built like a village of buildings tumbling down the edge of the hillside. The pools and the beach were great for relaxing and playing and the ample buffets were well replenished during each meal. The hotel met our needs very well, and the children enjoyed the mini disco in the evenings. We found the communal areas a little lacking in character, the main bar area had bad acoustics making it a rather stressful environment. The main restaurant was often very busy with long ques at the main grill station, another chef/server could have made a big difference there. The places to sit outside were lovely and the views were fantastic though, it was mainly the spaces inside that were a bit too hectic for my son who struggles in noisy and busy environments. The staff were all very friendly and hard working. The restaurant staff were particularly cheerful and welcoming. The only bad dining experience was our evening in the "Greek Taverner" which didn't suit us at all due to the slow service and the food not being to our children's liking. The a la carte night was great though. The only real complaint I have is the hugely inefficient Check in process! over an hour wait after a long flight was not good!

A well-appointed all-inclusive resort and spa
The staff are amazing - always friendly and cheerful, within special mention for Dionysus in the restaurant and Tina in the spa! The food offered in the all-inclusive is varied and of excellent quality. This was one of the reasons we returned to stay having heard many other hotels offering all-inclusive fall down on this. The hotel has undergone a number of improvements recently in its accommodation and facilities and the grounds are well maintained. The accommodation is built in a village style down the hillside to the blue flag beach, allowing the guests to wander around the resort without feeling crowded and due to the number of steps a great way to work off all the delicious food! The only negative comment would be the volume of music payed at the main pool area. Not all guests enjoy the high volume clubbing beat all day but may want to participate in the organised activities, restaurant and spa. The age range of guests is wide with families, teenagers to older couples. Thank you for a wonderful stay. We will definitely be back!

Stunning views, close to Heraklion
My family stayed here last week and were so happy to have discovered it. We had booked a family room and were so impressed with what we got. There were two bedrooms, lots of space and an amazing balcony overlooking the sea. We enjoyed the all inclusive option which made it so easy. The kids could eat when they wanted and we found tons of options for food. The pools were great, but a bit cold this time of year. The only negative thing I have to share is that despite updating the lobby, common areas and rooms, they have some work to do on the tennis and basketball courts. These are a great feature, but they look as though they haven't been updated since the 1980s. They are fairly decrepit. While they are not the main draw of the hotel and not used by the majority of guests, updating them would improve the hotel's amenities.
