Reviews
Attentive & helpful staff who are a credit to the hotel, always willing to help customers & provide very good service during mealtimes & at the bar.
Buffet evening food is okay, but lack of variety in the evenings & not always hot.
Ordered lunch a few times & was very impressed- gyros, club sandwich & Pizza.
Happy hour for cocktails also very good.
Would also add that tourist tax rate is charged at €10 a room a night (5* hotel rate) however, although a very good hotel, it is not 5* standard. Updating older rooms & improve dining experience would probably justify 5* tourist tax charge.
Nevertheless, very close to beach & highly recommended. Thank you.
The beach is a walking distance of one minute with bars around. Shops are just around the corner from the hotel as well as a supermarket and car rentals if you are interested to explore the island by yourself.
We also went to the Euphoria Spa that is part of the hotel but you can also use it if you don't stay in the hotel. My partner had a Deep tissue massage from Lily and came back out after 1 hour a new man and so relaxed. I did a back, neck and shoulder massage with Eleni and she was so lovely and made you feel so relaxed and recharged after. Definitely go and visit the Spa, loads to choose from.
We enjoyed our first stay here and fell in love with Crete/Greece.
We definitely recommend staying here and we will be back at some point.
Thank you to all the staff, you were amazing.
Staff are great, speak very good English, the service is good and restaurant has very good food for the half board options. Probably the best hotel of a package deal I have had.
We had a superior room that overlooked the pool, it was spacious, clean and very comfortable.
Plenty of sunbeds and couches to cosy up on.
Close to the beach and plenty around to do.
Every member of staff seems friendly and eager to do their best.
The hotel is a few meters away from the beach. I recommend wearing water shoes such as those used for kayaking because the beach can be rocky in some
Places. There are two average size pools with plenty of sun beds. The shady areas get reserved quickly but there is usually plenty of space.
As a family, we found our room (above the bar area) noisy some nights. We asked for a change, and although the hotel was fully booked, we were upgraded to another family room on the 4th floor with beautiful views and no noise.
Food and drink are good quality and competitively priced compared to local cafes and restaurants.
Plenty of partying options within walking distance for those in the mood, and lots of excursions and fun activities for families too.
All in all, I would highly recommend this place for anyone considering a holiday in Crete.
The staff are exceptional right through the hotel, particularly in the pool bar and pool area. Maria and her team were superb. Even when occasionally under pressure.
The hotel is kept spotlessly clean, plenty of sunbeds, all facilities are excellent.
I think the entertainment has room for improvement, although we enjoyed the Greek dance night.
Food was of very good quality but found it difficult at times to select food that compliments each other. Better signage of food in buffet area would be a big help.
This slight negative, would not stop me recommending this hotel to anyone. We all have varied tastes.
We have enjoyed both visits to the Albatross and wouldn't hesitate to return, and also recommend to others.
Lots of bars and restaurants to choose from, within easy walking distance.
