Almyrida Resort

We were in Studios which were comfortable and clean but we spent most of our time at the Beach and Residence where our family were. Very well appointed and great pool. Really enjoyed the breakfast.

We have just got back from a lovely 10 day stay at Almyrida Resort. For anyone that doesn’t understand the difference between the accommodations (as I didn’t when I booked it!) Almyrida resort is a new style, modern hotel with an amazing infinity pool on the roof and restaurant called Thea, which is opposite the Almyrida Beach Hotel - a more traditional style hotel with a swimming pool and the Windmill. Almyrida Studios is also About 250m along the road aswell, along the coast. I think they are all owned by the same company. We stayed in the Almyrida resort And it was excellent. The rooms were equipped and quiet, and all of the staff were very very welcoming and accommodating. We had two toddlers with us and they were all very friendly and helpful. A special shout out Xanthi the receptionist as she was very nice to us, and also the housekeeping staff as they did a fantastic job every day. Both me and my sister also had massages in the spa with Panos. He was brilliant and very attentive. We were also very impressed by the staff who were at the breakfast buffet and manning the bars, they even made special vegan pancakes for my sister every day!

Check in was great very polite and friendly staff, we were traveling as 2 couples and they placed us in adjoining rooms very convenient. The hotel rooms were spacious and very comfortable beds. My only criticism would be that the showers had fabric curtains. The breakfast was a very plentiful buffet which was constantly replenished. The pools were great. We stayed in the more modern section of the hotel. Parking when we first arrived was a little chaotic but you were competing with the general beach going public later there was no difficulty in obtaining spots. Almyrida beach was a lovely spot with close proximity to the beach and the eating options great. The beach was also the fine sand rather than the more rocky options in some parts of Crete. Lovely sheltered beach safe for children.

Brilliant hotel and excellent staff. Would have liked the Amyrida Residence Hotel to have been adults only rooms. It would have been quieter in our rooms. 2nd week spoilt due to a crying baby next door and children running around. Otherwise perfect.

The hotel was perfect for us. It's a great place for children. The pool is perfect for swimmers and non swimmers. The beach is very close by and there are endless options for eating and drinking. The hotel food is good and available at the poolside bar all day. The local restaurants on the beach are lovely. grest place for a family holiday.

One of the best thing was Reception staff provided us two rooms with main entry for each room and entry inside room. We would consider as best analysis by staff. Our kids loved it and enjoyed a lot without disturbing nearby room guests in hotel, Staff was very helpful, polite and friendly. We had breakfast and dinner all 5 days in hotel. Although food was very good Only suggestion would be to provide different options in breakfast each day and more vegetarian food during dinner. Swimming pool water should be warm so that kids can swim. While checking room we were not informed Spa available only Wednesday. We really wanted to try body spa during our stay.
