Orpheas Resort Hotel (Adults Only)

This hotel seems to adapt the low-cost model. You pay a base price for the bare necessities - if you want more or even something of quality: you pay. The room is quite spacious, however the bathroom floor floods when you take a shower, with all the smells from the sewage that comes with such a flooding. You want to use the safe in the room? You pay. Breakfast proposes two fresh options by a lovely cook: eggs and pancakes. The rest have been bought in bulk and are simply heated (if you’re lucky). Filter coffee included, you want cappuccino or latte? You pay. Water with sweet orange flavour included, you want orange juice? You pay. Staff was unfriendly and didn’t look you in the eyes when “welcoming”. Well located at beachfront with private beach. However, you want to use the loungebeds on this private beach? You pay. Also keep in mind that the wind on Crete is quite intense on the North, so red flag every day. Cherry on the top was our check-out. My partner booked a massage (100€ for 55mn) and specifically asked if the timeslot was okay since we had check-out at 12pm. Massage therapist checked with reception, no problem. 12:07 - reception called to asked if we were coming 12:09 - cleaning lady knocked on the door and shouted “check-out is 12!!!” while pointing at her watch. Final note: this adult-only hotel is sandwiched between two family friendly hotels with all the noise from mini-discos and whatsoever you might expect.
