"Spent 4 nights here with my wife as part of our Honeymoon in Greece. It was absolutely splendid. Such a peaceful, wonderful resort with great amenities. The pool side is absolutely breathtaking and so relaxing. There is a great pool bar nearby and the servers bring you drink and food in very timely fashion.
I had originally a sea view only room and they upgraded us to a shared plunge pool room for free. This was an awesome upgrade. We used the plunge pool a bunch and its basically your own private pool.
The room is super comfortable. Don't mind the key-powered room because once you get and put your card in then turn on the AC, massive vents cool the room in minutes.
The breakfast buffet was always excellent with so many tasty options sure to please anyone. We ate at the Cretan restaurant they have there and it was so romantic. The food was extraordinary and among the best we had had on Crete.
There are a lot of awesome picture and video taking opportunities on the resort too. Sure to make your friends and family jealous.
Some cool local beaches nearby with great views and clear waters - just ask the staff there and they will tell you the options.
Only 30 min from the Heraklion airport - no need to deal with the huge journey to Chania if you are not so inclined to go there, can have just as much of a great time at Abaton.
Highly recommend! We will be coming back! "
