Had a wonderful time at this hotel! The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful throughout our stay. The food was excellent, with plenty of variety and great quality. Everything was perfectly clean, with towel changes every two days, which we really appreciated. All amenities were well-maintained. A truly family-friendly place—highly recommended!

stayed here for a week and overall great service, delightful food variety (get the puddings too!), lovely cocktails. great accommodation would defo stay again, however location not the best as had to get expensive taxis to heraklion & activities etc. would recommend if you are a chill couple or small family holiday! ..only bad thing was the tiny room showers and no amenities in the room. met chrissey too (owner) whom was lovely and chatty. Thank you for a lovely stay overall!

Good hotel for this price. Very good buffet style food. A lot of different dishes are available in their restaurant. Meals are really delicious. Staff is kind. Beautiful sea view. If you want to walk to the beach it takes 25 min fortunately they have shuttle bus with very kind bus driver))
Municipal beach is okay there are places with rocks as well as with sand
This hotel is very good for place for all inclusive vacation.

I really enjoyed my stay.

Everyone is talking about food and shortages during the meal but- relax and enjoy the view while they bring out the new plates. And the food is really great and tasty. There is a lot’s of variety to choose from and it’s all fresh. The rooms are not its best and the bathroom really needs an upgrade. The bar patio is the place to go after dinner as there’s always some activity.

Really good value for the price. Big rooms, nice terrace, air conditioning works great, main room is a bit empty and the bathroom is really small. The place is generally nice, staircase could be a lot better done, the food is decent but it varies and you can eat as much as you want, but there is a queue. Pool is great, bar is great, pretty good drinks (unlimited). There are some events, nothing too much. The view is amazing, some rooms have double sea view. The transfer is really useful but you usually have to wait because the minivan can’t carry everyone at once. The beaches are near and beautiful. The staff are really kind and helpful. You can eat and stay in the hotel on the day you check our even after you give in your room key.

Chrissy's Paradise was a wonderful experience. Everyone working there was incredibly nice, especially Giorgi, the housekeeper. Mila, who took care of our room, always greeted us with a smile, and we wish her all the best. Chrissy, the hotel owner, made sure that we felt the warm, family vibe throughout our stay. It’s the perfect place for families and anyone looking to relax and enjoy the sunshine. The combination of the mountain and sea experience was fantastic. During the day, we soaked up the sun by the beach, and at night, we enjoyed the cool weather and music at the bar next to the pool. The bartenders were always friendly and kept the drinks flowing!
On Sundays, there was an entertainment night, which we really enjoyed, but we wish there had been more since there aren’t many party options in Agia Pelagia, and at night, there's not much to do beyond visiting restaurants.
The food was delicious, though we think it could use a bit more Greek soul. We wished for more than one or two vegetarian options, but we always found something to enjoy. Everything we needed was there, except for Greek coffee. The only downside was the WiFi, which was really slow and almost unusable, but other than that, we were so happy to be there.
We’ll miss everyone there!

Positives:
* Price - i am sure most of the people looking for reviews for this place, it's because of its tempting all inclusive price. Indeed you will not find a cheaper all inclusive hotel in Crete !
* Staff - the staff were all very helpful and kind. The reception ladies, the kitchen and restaurant staff and the guys at the pool bar, always keen to assist
* Pool - 1 main pool plus a small kids pool. Never crowded and always can find sunbeds. It's a small hotel anyway
Neutral:
* Location - Agia Pelagia is around 25 minutes from Heraklion and it's really beautiful. If you have a car you will certainly explore some nice views, like a mini riviera !
The case is that Chrissys Paradise is little up the hill and you need a long walk to go down the shops and beach. However they do offer a small shuttle, but dont know many details how it works. I am sure you will see it at other comments
Rooms - Nothing special. Little dated. It would be good to have a renovation for sure
Entertainment - There is night entertainment (DJs) every Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday, but even the other nights they have some music at the bar
Negative:
* Food - All inclusive for a cheap rate, must be a catch.
Well the catch is that the food is below average at best. You will probably find something to eat, even just a salad, but it's because you have it as all inclusive.
If you had to pay, the moment you see the small buffet, you will turn and leave. I understand that the price is low, but since they are cooking all that food, at least make it good. No need for gurmet buffet, but they can make the same ingredients much better
Also during morning and afternoon times, they
get some of the food which i assume not cooked/served at breakfast or lunch at the pool like a snack time
Drinks - Terrible unfortunately. If you are very easy with drinks then you will be ok, but in general all the drinks are way below average, including soft drinks and juices.
Again I understand it's an all inclusive, but they were really bad. That local brand Fimi of soft drinks is sooo bad
And of course the alcoholic drinks including the beer. Very bad
Eventually we were buying Ouzo and beers from nearby shop and doing our own mimi bar !
At least they could offer some brand alcohol to buy. I would certainly buy instead of the all inclusive ones
Overview:
Average hotel facilities. Best part is the quiet pool
Value for money ? Well it depends from each person.
If you are just looking for a cheap place to relax and do nothing for a week, maybe this is the place for you.
But be ready for average food and bad drinks
Personally i doubt i will be back to this place
Suggestion:
Get a rental car. You can do a lot from there, visit Heraklion, Rethymnon and even Chania & Agios Nikolaos if you have time and appetite!
And of course many small nearby villages.
As the hotel is not really near the beach of Agia Pelagia, you will feel isolated if you dont have a car and will rely on the small shuttle car of the hotel
Also try some of the restaurants near Agia Pelagia beach. There are some really good options !
p.s. you can also buy excursions and rental car from hotel, but i haven't used so no comments on that

Lovely 3 star hotel. Great value, very good location for if you want to be near a town for the evenings. Excellent staff, basic rooms but clean and very comfy beds. Fresh food at meals times, although advise also good to eat out as well. Big clean pool, suitable for all and safe area.three local beaches.
