Lovely hotel, especially the newly renovated family bungalows. Very friendly helpful staff lovely wide selection of food and plenty to do for the kids and spacious pools. There was an issue with the aircon on the first day but the staff quickly logged it and was fixed by the next morning. Only thing they could improve on would be the pool tables and arcade, very dated most machines were broken but this did not take anything away from the stay which was lovely.

8/10 Very good

They offered us a fully new renovated room however was in front of hotel entrance. We saw ocean view from an angle. The non smoking room we asked was fine but 2 neighbors smoked. Biggest issue. No beach!!!!!! Lots of pools and hotel is more for families. Restaurants closed ala carte. Italian restaurant disorganized and food was awful. We left after 2 bites. Buffet closes at 9:30 pm they clear up at 9. Day buffet opens 12;30 and closes 2. No food left for late birds that go to beaches and shop or excursions. The grounds are kept clean and maintained. That’s why we gave it a good rating. Front desk disorganized upon checkin. No checkin counter. It’s a mess and you have to present your passport 3x cause 3 different people bounce you at around. This iberostar does not represent others we’ve been at.

Very good and family friendly experience. The staff were friendly and helpful, overall an excellent stay. The only complaint would be that dinner at 2 of the 4 restaurants felt a little like a conveyor belt where the priority seemed to be getting us fed and out as quickly as possible rather than having us enjoy the dining experience. With that said the experience at the other 2 restaurants was excellent.

It was the best choice for our last week in Greece, after 3 weeks trip around the country. Great facility, great food, great service. Perfect ground base to see Crete, as well. Free towels and sun beds (it was nice surprise after visiting Rhodes before)

The bays for swimming and relaxing are great. It could however do with a few more sun shades and sunbeds by these bays. I also dislike the towels being left on sunbeds early in the morning - and the people not turning up until midday.

The property, room and staff were wonderful. The food, however, was not. Very limited options and on occasion not edible - mainly the chicken. Fish was mainly fine but they don't do a very good job deboning.

We had several problems with getting lost at the property, no signs to orientation where you are. The management especially at night were constantly asking if we were lost again. We have been at other resorts in the Caribbean that were better laid out. But overall we had a family reunion with 36 people for our boy's wedding. Beautiful resort but need manager customer service review policy.

8/10 Very good

The resort is a dream. It is unbelievably beautiful, green, with tropical trees (palms) and a very friendly staff. For us, this was a first time in such a huge resort. We were mostly positively impressed. A huge enterprise of staff in different roles are there to help and serve you. Many activities in the resort, although we mainly did not stay in the hotel at the day time, but you can. Mixed audience, both families with kids and young couples, or elderly couples. Mostly German, French, Russian and Polish. We had rented a car, so we mostly roamed in the island of Kreta. Food was delicious and the view on the terrace is amazing. The interior of the room feels old and used compared to the setting and view of the resort. This could have been and should have been improved / renovated. on the first day we had a hard time after finding some hair on the bedsheets, but the staff tried to help us by cleaning again.

10/10 Exceptional

We really enjoyed our stay. Wonderful views, beautiful hotel, good food and enough variety, very friendly staff and the most amazing animation team. We arrived quite late at night and the check-in went smoothly and there was even the possibility to get something to eat at the restaurant. One thing that was a bit overwhelming was the amount of information during check-in (opening-closing hours of different restaurants and kiosk, beach towels, etc), especially late at night and after quite a long trip. But the staff kindly explained everything again the next morning and there are also timetables in the elevators and an activities schedule on the screen downstairs. Things we had some trouble with were the sharp edges of the fence around the football field (a hole in the ball and a crying kid after less than 20 minutes) and the loud noise you would hear when the neighbours flushed the toilet. That was something unexpected the first morning, but after that we got used to it. Despite the (to us small) inconveniences, we had a great holiday and we will definitely come back.

2/10 Poor

Extremely poor experience

We feel absolutely cheated. We were pronised a room with sea view, under teh pretext of upgrade-they put us in a room with garden view. And more so , manager had said he will follow back up. No follow up. We are making a ceo complaint for the same. Last day the airconditioner in the room stopped working. We had to sleep with out a/c in 90 degeee F weather. We called reception and twice we were promised a tecnician- but no one showed up. Extremely poor service
Verified review

6/10 Good

The property of this hotel is massive, which is absolutely amazing. There’s so much to see and do at the hotel alone. The middle beach was lovely, and the variety of pools made it easy to find a chill place to swim every day. The food was also great at the buffet and BBQ restaurants, as well as at the Zorbas Tavern for lunch. However, the themed dinner at the Zorbas Tavern was awful. The food was absolutely randomly thrown together with no rhyme or reason. The staff at this hotel was also mostly unpleasant, with no desire to provide worthwhile customer service. Most of them appeared as though they didn’t enjoy being around people. The cleanliness of this hotel was also very concerning. Time and time again, we would find extremely filthy dishes and cups in the stacks of “clean” dishes and cups. The floors of most places were also often sticky and unpleasant. The majority of guests here are also unpleasant to be around, as they have no regard for those around them. They’ll make messes, leave trash everywhere, reserve lounge chairs that they’ll only use for an hour of the day at most — and the staff just let them get away with it.
