10/10 Exceptional

Had a fantastic stay there! Would absolutely return. The staff were friendly and helpful, food was top notch and the buffet was quality eith different theme nights and never the same. Lots of kids options too! I was so impressed with the options. We were eating lamb chops and swordfish, which I would not expect on an all inclusive buffet. The room was fantastic and really spacious....more like a suite. The beds were a bit hard though and the bath didn't work properly but was grateful to have a bath tub. The only downside was the kids club was not much fun and there was only one night of entertainment so the only real fun stuff for my toddler was the kids pool, which ahe loved and was fantastic. Everything was very clean and overall well maintained.

Verified review

6/10 Good

The food was not very good, and there was not much choice. The kids’ club was disappointing, with very few games and no organized activities. The pools, including the kids’ club pool, were quite cold, and our room was also rather cold. Overall, the resort could be better maintained. For example, we had to ask for the air conditioning to be cleaned because it was not working properly. Finally, I would have expected to receive more information at check-in about activities, places to visit, and things to do in the surrounding area. Instead, we had to find this information ourselves. Overall, we expected a better experience from the resort, especially in terms of food, children’s activities, maintenance, and guest information. Price is too expensive and doesn't reflect a 5 stars hotel expected services and food.

We had an amazing stay! Everything was perfect — from the warm and welcoming staff to the excellent services provided throughout our visit. The hotel has two beautiful outdoor pools: one for children with fun water slides, and a large one for adults, ideal for relaxing and swimming. The breakfast and dinner buffet were also fantastic, with a wide variety of fresh and delicious options every day. Highly recommended for families or anyone looking for a great hotel experience!

Staff was great, accessible and very helpful! Good variety of food choices and good quality at breakfast and dinner, could be a bit better in terms of choice on the pool bar buffet and non alcoholic drinks for the All-inclusive. Children's swimming pool is awesome! Very good experience!!

The hotel was spotless clean and all of the staff were so friendly and helpful. The food was delicious, lots of choice for me as a vegetarian! Loved every minute of this holiday. Thanks.
Verified review

4/10 Fair

Although the staff was very nice helpful, and professional, the resort is in desperate need for maintenance. We also had to change room 3 times (on the basis of a disturbing noise in the first one) and every room we were given had severe maintenance issues. Our third one (246) also had a really bad sewage smell coming from the interior garden. Would not recommend.

Hôtel plus proche d’un 4 étoiles. Chambres spacieuses et propres mais manque de lait corps et après shampooing normalement présent dans un 5 étoiles. La qualité du buffet est correct mais le all inclusive n’inclut que certaines boissons avec une cartes très restreintes. un peu décevant pour 5 étoiles. Bon services et chambres spacieuses avec piscine privée un vrai plus.

Huone oli siisti ja siivous toimi hyvin. Lapset (8 ja 4) tykkäsi omasta uima-altaasta ja yhteisestä lasten altaasta. Ruoka oli laadukasta buffetissa ja joka päivälle oli vaihtelua. Henkilökunta oli avuliasta ja kaikki toimii hyvin.

Le personnel est au top : accueillant, attentionné et toujours prêt à rendre service. Tout au long du séjour, ils ont été très arrangeants et aux petits soins.

Ophold 2 dage med all inclusive

På et 2 dages ophold. Hertil var det fint. Ville kede os med 7 dage da det ligger lidt langt væk fra by. Ligger ikke på stranden. Gode senge. Kedelig udsigt fra terrassen. Ville vælge havudsigt hvis muligt. Hyggelig rooftop bar. Prøvede ikke a la carte da der var optaget. Buffet er som en buffet og lokalet er meget “cafeteria agtigt” dejligt at sidde udenfor ved poolen i stedet. Pris og kvalitet passer sammen.

Absolument fantastique

Un hôtel magnifique pour un séjour inoubliable. Tout d’abord un grand merci à Maria G de la cuisine, Ervin et toute son équipe en cuisine et en salle, Areti à la réception ainsi que ses collègues, le personnel de ménage, le jeune barman à la piscine… Vous êtes au top et vous méritez que la direction sache que vous faites un travail génial ! Vacances magnifiques dans cet hôtel. Vous commencez par être accueilli chaleureusement à la réception, si vous arrivez à l’heure d’un repas ils vous inviterons à aller vous restaurer avant de vous accompagner à votre chambre. Pour ma part une chambre avec piscine privée en all inclusive. Chambre très spacieuse, piscine relativement grande, environ 1m40 de profondeur. Des transats, serviettes de piscine (changées tous les 2 jours). Des gâteaux de bienvenues, une bouteille pour ceux qui consomment de l’alcool, des bouteilles d’eau et le nécessaire pour café thé. Serviettes de bain, peignoirs et chaussons, kits coton tige disque démaquillant lime à ongles et un élastique à cheveux et une charlotte de douche. Vous trouverez 1 grand flacon de savon liquide pour les mains et 1 grand flacon de 2en1 gel douche/ shampoing. Petit point négatif la dessus, pas d’après shampoing ni crème hydratante comme il y a quelques années, veuillez a en ramener ou en acheter car on se dessèche rapidement la peau entre la piscine et le soleil… et les cheveux aussi ! Point négatif sur la sdb pour les portes. Sinon, je recommande vivement !!

Très plaisant

Idéalement situé entre La Canée (10/15min) et les activités à l’Ouest de la Crète (1h de Balos Beach et 1h30 d’Elafonisi). Les + : - amabilité du personnel - parking devant l’hôtel - grande piscine principale + piscine pour enfants séparée - prêt de serviettes de bain - petit déjeuner correct (pas exceptionnel mais suffisant) - chambre supérieure correcte - secteur calme Les -: - prix des chambres un peu cher pour la prestation (pendant notre séjour d’une semaine, nous avons été logés dans des hôtels moins cher avec autant de confort, voir plus) - nous avons pris la formule petite déjeuner. Si vous souhaitez prendre le buffet pour un midi seulement, c’est 15€ par personne : nous avons trouvé ça excessif pour le contenu du buffet, et avons préféré manger ailleurs.

Solimar kann ich nur empfehlen vom Service bis zur Rezeption, super nette hilfsbereite Mitarbeiter, sehr gutes Essen, auf die Hygiene wird gesondert geachtet. Augenscheinlich sah man ständig Mitarbeiter die desinfiziert haben. Die Kellner waren sehr gepflegt und höflich, man hat sich wohl gefühlt. Moderne und saubere Zimmer, modern gestaltes Buffet sind weitere Pluspunkte. Immer wieder gerne.
