Nice stay

Nice stay. I've been in many all inclusive hotels ad I reckon that there is room for improvement on the food. The food wasn't bad at all, but in other all inclusive hotels I have found it much better, even in the area of Crete.

We booked a room at Caldera Beach but due to unforeseen circuntances they advised us 2 days before our check-in date that they would be unable to accomodate us and offered a room at Caldera Village with an all-inclusive upgrade. Although we appreciate the offer and accepted it (mostly because we couldnt find another option), the timing they contacted us was not ideal and Caldera Village was not exactly what we were looking for, location-wise. I believe the unforeseen circunstance was a booking error by the hotel or Expedia. It might have been an honest mistake but in this day and age this kind of mistakes are not acceptable, in my opinion.

I had torn my achilles tendon just before my stay here so accessibility was an issue to some degree. No rooms had ramps or had ground floor accessibility. Other than that, the staff were great, breakfast was fantastic. Lunch was meh, dinner was really nice at the stone restaurant. My family had rented a car so we were a short 20 min drive into old town Chania which was gorgeous.

Generaly, it is a good place to stay. The only problem we found some ants inside the room and we saw one ant in the bed. We reported it to the management, they just sent someone to do further cleaning. I know the hot weather is a good environment for ants but it should not be inside the rooms. They need to treat ants properly to keep them outside the rooms.

The key feature of this resort are the pools. There is one large U-shaped one surrounding some restaurants, and many shallow ones near the buildings which house the rooms. The majority of guests seemed to be families with small children. The pools themselves are clean, but it didn't seem like too much attention was paid to cleaning the area surrounding the pools. The rooms were nice and included a mini-kitchen. There was a very nice porch overlooking the pools. There were some minor maintenance issues such as a noisy fridge and a door handle which was coming loose. The cleaning of the rooms could have been improved. The beach was pretty, but somewhat dusty and very rocky. The main cafeteria was okay. They tried to provide a large variety of foods but a lot of that was deserts. There were never any meals that I was particularly enthused about. In the end, we started taking a taxi into the neighboring town which had a large number of restaurants rather than to eat at the cafeteria. The main drawback of the hotel for me was its isolation. It is not really in a tourist area. A sister hotel is next door. There are 2 small markets near the lobby, but they mostly sell souvenirs. Still helpful to buy snacks, water, sunscreen or wine. There is a tram which stops outside the lobby "The little train" which conducts tours of the surrounding countryside, which was worthwhile. If I were to return to the area, I think I would try another resort in the neighboring town.

Hotellet er veldig barnevennlig med mange aktiviteter for både barn og voksne. Maten er god. Det er et flott sted for en familieferie. Rommene begynner imidlertid å bære preg av alder og særlig møblene kunne med fordel vært oppgradert. Alt i alt hadde vi et fint opphold, men en oppussing av rommene ville løftet helhetsinntrykket.

Wir hatten zuerst ein Standard Zimmer, bekamen aber auf Nachdruck ein Upgrade natürlich gegen eine ordentliche Zuzahlung. Das Standardzimmer war sehr dunkel, im Schlafzimmer sowie im Bad gingen jeweils ein Licht nicht, der Türstock im Bad war locker und die Duschkabine sehr alt und somit auch ziemlich verrantzt. Das „Upgrade“ war lediglich größer und etwas heller. Im Bad gingen beide Lichter am Spiegel nicht und mit der Dusche das gleiche Problem. Bei dem Zimmer war auch ein extra Sonnenbett auf der Terrasse, was wir aber nicht nutzen konnten, da überall Ameisen waren und das Sonnensegel hat erst abends Schatten gespendet. Die gesamte Anlage war außen hui innen Pfui. Sehr viele kleine Dinge waren schwer reparaturbedürftig und es hat an vielen Orten ziemlich gestunken. Beim Frühstück waren zT Katzen hinter der Theke. Wir waren schon in zwei anderen 4* Hotels auf Kreta, keines war so schlecht wie das. Nie wieder. Es ist def keine 4* wert. Familienfreundlich ja, aber viel zu wenig Liegen für so viele Menschen. Personal war alles in allem ok.
