โรงแรมใกล้กับ Sculpture, Nikiforos Fokas

Good location between Chania and Rethymno minimising driving timing for site seeing . The hotel is nicely built on the beach with a nice clean pool and plenty of space with sun loungers round the pool and on the beach. Staff including top management were very helpful, honest, very receptive and keen to listen to suggestions we made and the service was impeccable, both in the restaurants and at the reception. Breakfast and dinner buffers very rich with good variety of cold and hot food. Well kept gardens and very clean throughout the hotel. Overall we had a great time and would recommend.

Like the other reviews, the staff are what make to hotel a pleasant experience. Francesca, Tony, Natasha and Stella where amazing hosts for my stay. They were always warm and helpful through out my week with them. My favorite amenities was having a morning yoga session with Francesca on the rooftop with a sea view. Was a great way to start the day. I really hope the owner/management show appreciation to retain good staff that take pride in the job. A little can go a long way. I had a sea view room on the 1st floor which was cute. The room was clean and had Netflix Disney+ and YouTube on the TV which was really good if you want in room entertainment. Perhaps the bathroom's could do with a make over as whilst they are clean, they are quite dark and grey looking but fine in terms of functionality. I opted for the half board option and was a little bit apprehensive, as I usually am whenever I travel as I am vegan and worry about options. I did email the hotel 2 weeks before to let them know and I did see it was noted down on my paperwork when I checked in which was good. Dinner on the rooftop exceeded my expectations as there was options or alternatives I could have for my dinner so it didnt get boring having the same thing every day. However I do wish there was more option at breakfast as I ended up just having veg and potatoes which was not the most thrilling. The food at breakfast was not very hot also even when it came straight out the kitchen. It would have been nice to have the same level in variety as at dinner. For example, the fresh orange juice each morning was delightful but it would have been nice to also have fresh smoothies too. Also, having veggie sausages and pancakes at breakfast and vegan yogurt as these things do exist and should be more widely available. Hotel is widely accessible to the beach and shops which is literally stones throw away. Nice spot if you are a female solo traveler like myself who wants to have a restful vacation experience.

Anna’s House was lovely and clean. Located about 50 mins from Chania airport. Arrived at Anna’s House late, about 11.30pm after delayed flight and they were very accommodating. Arranged for the bar to remain open and they cooked us a pizza and gave us an ice-cold beer. Anna’s house is split into two sections – one with main reception, pool and pool bar/breakfast restaurant and another section which is a short 100 metre walk down the road. We were ‘upgraded’ to the section down the road which I think had more self-catering apartments. Our upgrade was perfect as we got a 1 bedroom apartment which a kitchenette and two balconies. It meant we could have separate rooms, which as nice. I would say that the main section with pool etc was much nicer and kept up better, neat gardens, clean, pool, bar etc. The grass at the self-catering section was very long and it looked a bit older and not as pristine or maintained. A few cracked glass balcony areas etc Although the grass was long etc, it did get cut on the last day of our holiday which made it look at lot better. It was still nice, but I think the main hotel section was better. Our apartment was spacious and clean with comfy beds. Pool was large and attractive. Enough loungers for us but hotel was quite quiet as not that many guests. The online photos showed a kids splash area but we didn’t see that. As well as a gym but we didn’t look for that either. There were some young children around and there was a little paddling pool attached to the main pool too. Staff were brilliant. All so friendly and helpful. Bar manager was fabulous as was the receptionist. All fab! Breakfast was amazing, delicious choice of pasties, freshly cooked waffles and pancakes, fruit etc and omelette/egg chef too which was a great treat. Drinks and cocktails were served quickly around the pool too, which was great during the day. Anna’s house was about a 10 min walk into town. Walking down to town whilst it was daylight was no problem, there were a few others walking that route too. Coming back after dark was a little unnerving. Although we had no trouble, it felt very remote walking out of town as two women. We didn’t pass any other people walking and some cars would drive past. As I say, we didn’t experience anything bad but we were quite nervous each night knowing we had to ‘do the walk’ and had our wits about us. I wouldn’t have wanted to do it alone or with the kids. Sadly, as Anna’s house isn’t actually that far, it was not worth a taxi driver taking us. Town was nice with some shops and restaurants. We had some lovely meals but really only a handful of lovely pretty tavernas to choose from. If we were there longer than 4 nights we would be stuck for choice. Beach- You can walk from Anna’s but you are the town end which is very busy and quite narrow. We got a taxi from Anna’s (Euro 6) and went further down the beach, which still had beach bars, wide beach and was stunning. Overall, great place!
