Samaria Hotel

Samaria Hotel

8/10 Good
"Overall, we had a good stay. The front desk was welcoming, the hotel is very clean, and the location is excellent-we were able to walk to many restaurants and attractions. Our room was small but comfortable. One thing we found unusual was that although breakfast was incl w/ our stay, we would be charged 20EUR/person to eat breakfast on our arrival morning, w/ our incl breakfast starting the following day. The hotel was very helpful w/ arranging transportation and excursions. However, we had a frustrating miscommunication regarding our transportation to Heraklion. Due to the amount of luggage, I contacted concierge to request a larger vehicle and was offered a minibus at a higher price. I responded "As long as it fits all the luggage," which I believe indicated to proceed. Unfortunately, that was not considered a confirmation and our original transportation was canceled, as well. I understand that I could have responded w/ a "yes" but I also wish they had followed up to confirm rather than leaving us w/out transportation . Thankfully, they were able to arrange another minibus that morning, although our departure was delayed. There was also an unnecessary comment from the concierge that we "should have" booked the Balos excursion by boat after ours was canceled due to the fire risk. Despite this, we enjoyed our stay. Excellent location, cleanliness, and overall helpfulness of the staff outweigh the problems. I would still recommend Samaria Hotel."

"The location is really great and the hotel is lovely. The staff are incredible- friendly and helpful. Wonderful breakfast. Did not like the smell of the water in the toilet. I imagine it has to do with the water being recycled (grey water) and for such an expensive hotel to not replenish water bottles daily was a surprise. Everything else was fantastic."

Atlantica Kalliston Resort - Adults Only

Atlantica Kalliston Resort - Adults Only

8/10 Good
"Decent hotel overall which ticks all the boxes without quite reaching any particular 'wow' factor. The private loungers on the beach were a highlight and the beach is clean with good sand, clear water and great for swimming. Theres also 2 additional pools which are decent and not busy even in peak season when we visited. Being an adults only hotel meant that it was peaceful without noisy kids taking over, however there are a lot of screeching cicadas in the area which are a bit like sitting next to a car alarm especially on the room's balcony area. We opted for half board which was unnecessary as we went into town for dinner, the evening buffet was ok but not amazing, breakfast buffet was good though. From chatting to locals this is one of the bigger hotels in the area and one of the few adults only. Its well regarded locally but having been to varoius other 5 star places it wasnt exceptional, but for Chania its a very good option. The hotel is well located with a handy public bus service into old town; Chania town is very pleasant and has a lot of good places to eat but the best restaurants are away from the harbour. Overall an enjoyable stay."
