“Well thought out for families, still allowing sufficient space for privacy/quiet time for a couple with only child. Lots of activities and areas for our child to make friends. Excellent food, all the staff (particularly the unsung service heroes) were superb. A wonderful experience. Book any restaurant meals as early as possible!”
“You cannot fault this hotel. The rooms were bright,spacious and the beds were oh so comfortable. There was a wide and varied choice of food. But I think what stands out the most was the exceptional staff. Their customer service was second to none. Nothing was too much trouble. They were flexible and helpful. I would especially like to mention both Lisa Smith in guest services and Despina who was serving in the water park bar. Both went out of their way to be kind, helpful and extremely friendly.……
“Besonders hat uns gefallen, dass es zwei Bäder im Zimmer gab. Die Betten waren sehr komfortabel. und die kleine Terrasse war auch nett.
Das Frühstück hat uns nicht so gefallen, es gab zwar eine relativ große Auswahl, aber leider viel Convenience Food, wenig schmackhaft, Obst von schlechter Qualität
Dafür war das Ambiente in der Bar und dort auch der Kaffee und die Speisen wirklich gut.”
“Hotel created from abandoned village in the hills behind Rethymno. Gorgeous location and top notch accommodations. Breakfast was very good, and we had a great meal one night at the restaurant there. Wish we had stayed longer...”
“We had a fantastic 4 night stay. Jenny was a great host, very welcoming and efficient. The property is super clean and bright, with very clean pool, conveniently located for Spili beach and pottery village of Margarites where we spent several afternoons. We were on work schedule and wifi worked well too. Thanks so much!”
“Eigentlich alles perfekt - bis auf das Essen. Bin wirklich nicht verwöhnt, aber sowohl Fisch als auch Fleischgerichte waren IMMER nicht genießbar: zu Tode gegrillt oder gebraten. Kein Saft, kein Geschmack, hart & zäh. Ferner war das Live Cooking im Restaurant aufgrund einer fehlenden leistungsstarken Abzugsanlagen eine Räucherei der Gäste. Hier ist noch ganz viel Luft nach oben. Würde das Hotel aufgrund der Küche nicht nochmal buchen.”
“Air conditioning did not work in mid-May but I think it’s because the season is early. It probably will work in June. Breakfast was simple but good. Pool was very nice. Room had a TV which was nice but the bathroom felt really outdated and always smelled like chlorine for some reason. Balcony was really nice. ”
“We love Aravanes, been here 3 times before and just came back for 3 days stay. Hosts are exceptional. We always feel at home. They run an authentic restaurant with Greek food and veggies from their own garden. Most rooms have amazing view of Amari Valley.”
“Top! Wie auf den Fotos , alles sauber, ruhig und mit toller Aussicht. Auch die Gastgeber als auch das Personal sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend. Halbpension empfehlenswert. Ein Leihwagen ist ebenfalls empfehlenswert, insofern man Ausflüge und desöfteren kleine Erledigungen ausführen will und die Halbpension nicht gebucht hat, nahezu notwendig. Demnach waren wir ( Paar ) rundum zufrieden und würden jederzeit wiederkommen, insofern die Wahl nochmals auf Kreta fallen sollte.”
