Truly great hotel!
Beautiful, neat, clean. Nice and friendly staff. We have half-board ourselves, so only breakfast. Unfortunately, at the time of writing, 2 of the 3 restaurants are closed and you can only use the evening buffet. That is a pity, but also understandable as we are a bit later in the holiday season.
On the other hand, it is great to be by the pool, as it is not so crowded and you always have a spot/sun bed by the pool. These too are very clean, well maintained and really beautiful. You can choose from 3 pools and a "jacuzzi", which is not really a jacuzzi, but lovely to sit in/at.
We also had a room upgrade on arrival. We went from a room with garden view, to a room with semi sea view. If I would have paid for sea view, I would have thought it a waste of my money. Anyway, we didn't pay for it :)
Alrighty; it’s a very nice hotel with plenty of options for activities nearby, great restaurants and good food. The breakfast buffet is pretty standard, but everything is very fresh and delicious! There is something for everyone.
In short, we are extremely happy with our choice of this beautiful hotel!

We had a great time at The Island hotel. Wonderful location. Good food and lots to do and visit in the area. Staff works really hard here! We especially loved the lady at the mini market who was super nice and really took care of all the cats in the resort.

This is a huge resort hotel with abundant of rooms. It is by the sea which is beautiful scene.
Foods at the restaurant are buffet style and quite standard.
As my room was mext to the garden, there were a few bugs and mosquitoes in my room, but nothing I cannot handle.
Amenities are there with gym and many pools, even a mini mart.
Around the area there are some good restaurants and the beautiful oceanic views

When we arrived we were welcomed by the friendly staf our luggage was immediately taken to our room. When entering our room we were a bit disappointed by the lack of space in the room and bathroom. It was a bath and shower together something that is for me not done in a 5 star hotel. Furthermore the hygiene was not very good, there were some weird spots on the toilet and tap. Breakfast is okay but you can’t chose where to sit and sometimes there is a long queue resulting in a long wait before getting assigned a table. If you ask if you can sit elsewhere it is really not appreciated by the staff. With dinner you need to have a little bit of luck with the theme of the evening. The staff at the reception is friendly but they are the only ones that are friendly, the others are rude. Sometimes you are woken by the cleaning ladies that enter your room at 8:30 which isn’t exactly the kind of thing you want at your vacation. The location is okay, there is a bus station at a 15 minute walk which you will definitely need because there is not much to do in the city.

Amazing resort/hotel. Staff were so helpful, the rooms were lovely and the food was great. It's not a party hotel or local to the party scene which is what we wanted. Would highly recommend!! Also they have about 5 cats within the resort that are very cute and friendly :)

Adults only, so nice and quiet. Breakfast is excellent, with a huge array of choice. Staff are excellent.
We stayed by Relaxation pool or on the beach across the road most days. Both were excellent, but I imagine sunbeds may become hard to come by as the season hits full flow. None of the four pools are heated. Annoying DJ at one pool, whose music carried to other pools.
Basketball court next to relaxation area is not the greatest idea.
Plenty of good tavernas within walking distance. Beautiful sunsets all along the coast.
This was a much bigger hotel than we usually choose to stay at, but given that, it was very good.

Our second visit to this fantastic hotel. Once again, they have delivered on every aspect of what a hotel should be. The staff, all of them, front of house, service staff, housekeeping, grounds staff and pool team cannot be faulted. There can be some trepidation when returning to a place that you so enjoyed the first time round, we can honestly say, any such feelings we had disappeared the moment we entered reception and were greeted with smiles and a welcome back...will be returning in 2025.
See first review below..
This hotel could not be faulted. Staff are superb, friendly and courteous. Rooms are of a very high standard, housekeeping outdo themselves every day. Food is of the highest quality and you are really spoilt with the choice available. We will be returning this year.

The GDM Island Hotel is listed as a 5-star luxury resort, however, our stay was good, not more, as expected from 5-stars resort in Crete. We have visited many 5 stars resorts, but this one is a bit less than our expectations. By the way, the hotel was located in the flight path, so it’s a bit noisy for peace and quiet resort (not to mention the pool DJ..)

Currently at the hotel nearing the end of our honeymoon here. From start to finish it has been fantastic. The hotel is exceptional. The decor, the staff and food are amazing. We have the cool room with infinity pool, although a little on the small side it is just big enough for what you need. For anyone thinking on booking the room i would highly reccomend it. You get the sun in these rooms from around 3pm onwards. So perfect to go to one of the 3 main pools first then afternoon in the room.
The location is brilliant. We hired a buggy for the duration, which you can do from inside the hotel at 'Autolele'. After reading the reviews of there not being much around, i was a bit dubious that we might get a bit bored. I was wrong. After driving to some of the bigger towns, the shops just sell the same things in everyone. So you are not missing much. There are a couple of shops here and some nice bars/restaurants. Plus the shop in the hotel has everything you could possibly need.
Would 100% return and cant fault anything. We loved every minute.

The GDM Island Hotel is listed as a 5-star luxury resort and offers numerous rooms with private pools. However, our stay was terrible, so we cannot recommend the GDM Island Hotel at all.
We wanted to spend a few sunny days in the south in October 2023. We arrived at 12 noon and wanted to check-in. However, the room was not ready until 3 pm. The first room they took us to (No. 668) was located about 400 meters from the reception and restaurant. It was on the ground floor and was terribly cramped and dark. The bathroom was right next to the bed and was only separated from the room by a curtain.
Upon request, they offered us an alternative room (No. 999) 500 meters away. This one was much larger but still quite dark and gloomy. Most rooms in the facility have narrow louvre windows in the bathroom that cannot be completely closed, allowing insects to enter freely. The bathroom ventilation in our room didn't work, and the air conditioning was leaking water. The bathroom sink unit had come off the wall. Plastic strips were attached along the bathtub, presumably to cover up mold. There were no power outlets in the bathroom, only one in the hallway, one on one side of the bed, and one behind a chair on the floor. The flat-screen TV was ancient and far away from 4K quality. The loungers on the terrace were covered in leaves and seeds, making them unpleasant and unusable.
After two days, we were offered a room with a sea view right above the pool and evening live music, which we declined. The white loungers and daybeds around the pools were unclean and not inviting.
To reach the small and narrow sandy beach surrounded by rocks, you had to cross the road. Its use was free for hotel guests, but there were no showers, and reaching the only unsanitary restroom in the pool area required a long walk through the hotel complex.
In the restaurant, you had to wait to be seated by a server. The staff at the reception and in the spa were not particularly friendly. There was a small supermarket on the property, but this led some guests to drink from cans by the pool.
The hotel was located in the flight path, so you could track the weekly flight schedule. The hotel's surroundings were terrible. Fortunately, we had a rental car and could explore the beautiful places on the island ourselves.
We have visited many perfect holiday destinations, but we were completely disappointed by this stay.
