Hotels mit Spa in Kreta, Griechenland

Der Spa-Bereich mit Hamam, Sauna und Innenpool (nur 1 m tief?!) ist das Highlight des Hotels. Da es keinen direkten Strandzugang gibt, bin ich nach Nea Hora und zum Golden Beach gefahren. Die Zimmer sind zu klein, bieten zu wenig Stauraum, die Bedienung ist kompliziert und die Konsole unnötig umständlich. Obwohl ich ein Zimmer im zweiten Stock hatte, war es ruhig. Die Beschilderung im Hotel ist insgesamt verwirrend. Betten und Kissen sind riesig und bequem. Das Essen ist ausgezeichnet. Die Massage war in Ordnung. Die Pflegeprodukte sind gut. Nur die Zimmer mit Meerblick kosten das Zehnfache! Ansonsten hat man nur Blick auf eine Mülltonne! 😤 Das À-la-carte-Frühstück ist viel zu langsam, man isst zu wenig, es gibt ständig Missverständnisse … und nachdem man bestellt hat, wird die Speisekarte einfach weggenommen … Der Pool auf dem Dach ist eine Abzocke! Die Liegen sind ständig belegt und man muss sie reservieren, um den Sonnenuntergang zu sehen 🙄 Es gibt zwar noch eine Dachterrasse im 7. Stock, aber nach zehn Minuten will man sie nur noch verlassen, da es dort weder Duschen noch einen Pool, eine Toilette oder eine Bar gibt… Das Personal ist jung, gekünstelt höflich, viel zu langsam und wenig hilfsbereit – offensichtlich auf bestimmte Gästetypen (kulturell unerfahren) geschult. Selbst um einen Spind im Spa zu bekommen, musste man warten, bis einem erklärt wurde, wie man ihn öffnet (und einen Test bestehen?!), obwohl zwei Personen an der Rezeption waren. Meine Kaffeekapseln, der Süßstoff und die Tees wurden am nächsten Morgen beim Reinigungsservice nicht aufgefüllt, und ein benutztes Glas wurde nicht gespült. Der Balkonpool ist winzig und voller Flusen von der Straße. Außerdem fühlte ich mich unwohl, ihn zu benutzen, da er von der Straße und dem gegenüberliegenden Gebäude aus einsehbar war. Um 21:30 Uhr wurde ich angerufen (ich schlief doch schon?!), um zu fragen, ob ich mit der kostenlosen 30-minütigen Massage zufrieden sei (wegen der schlechten Aussicht vom Zimmer)… 🤷🏼‍♀️ Ich verstehe, dass es ein neues Hotel ist und sie sich Mühe geben, aber ich habe über 800 € für zwei Nächte bezahlt und war die Hälfte meines Aufenthalts frustriert… 😒 Ich habe eine Ausbildung im Bereich Tourismus und Hotelmanagement gemacht, als Masseurin gearbeitet und vor 30 Jahren in 5-Sterne-Hotels in Chania gearbeitet. Seitdem habe ich in unzähligen 4- und 5-Sterne-Hotels weltweit übernachtet, insbesondere in Asien, wo der Service erstklassig ist. Daher ist das alles für einen so hohen Preis nicht akzeptabel. Ja, der Begrüßungsdrink ist nett, und die kostenlose Massage auch, aber Hilton, da geht noch mehr!

We stayed here for 4 nights. I had booked a sea view room, but they said it was upgraded to a room with a jacuzzi. While the jacuzzi was nice and relaxing, the sea view was quite limited, which was a bit disappointing. The property is located in a remote and peaceful part of the island. It has excellent internet access and a decent outdoor gym. Since it is right by the sea, you can enjoy walking or running along the coast to the nearest town, Mavrikianon. One important thing to mention is that the property does not have direct access to the sea. To swim, you need to go to either Plaka Beach, which requires a minimum spend of €40 per person to use the sunbeds, or to Mavrikianon Beach, which is much more affordable at €5 per person for the entire day. Mavrikianon Beach is very pleasant and close to markets where you can buy drinks. There are also some good food and drink spots nearby, such as Rudi’s Bar, a British-style pub, and Porto Rino, which serves great pizzas. Make sure to skip Nico’s Fish Tavern and try the Ferryman instead — you won’t regret it. What we found most frustrating was the lack of mosquito screens on the windows. Sleeping with the windows open was not really an option, even though the natural breeze was wonderful. Our room had air conditioning, but we tend to get sick sleeping with it on. There was a ceiling fan as well, but it is a shame to miss out on the fresh air simply because of a missing screen. The breakfast was also a disappointment. There were very few options, the coffee was not good, and the omelettes were overcooked. The most inconvenient part of our stay was the parking system. You have to check in and out with security every time, which felt excessive and time-consuming. It gave the impression of entering a high-security zone, not a relaxing holiday resort. Overall, it was a good experience with some nice features, but for the price, it lacks comfort and convenience in a few key areas. .

It was not peak season, maybe because of that staffs were not so prepared. I waited long time for the pick up from the reception to the hotel room, same for when I tried to ask for an umbrella and other information. Staffs seemed always busy talking on the phone or with each other. My door had some problems , you need some skills to open it, the shuttle bus driver spent five minutes opening it. Staffs in the restaurants were friendly, fairly speaking, the buffet restaurant was quite nice, catering diverse and delicious food. The seafood restaurant served a set menu, for which I held high expectations since I was only allowed to replace one buffet dinner for a la cart restaurant. Food itself was fair, albeit overseasoned( to me was too salty), and two or three dishes will be served at the same time and honestly they were not even hot. Room service was very efficient and the room was always clean. Private pool was nice, thought it was cold and windy now. So check the weather before going, sunny days and rainy ones are totally different experience. Hotel beach was beautiful, but again, I didn’t get my Paloma cocktail after waiting for half an hour. They provided interesting shows in the evening , I pitifully missed it but you need to have a look, performer are quite passionate. And about transportation, you can choose either hotel’s pickup that is expensive but convenient, or the local bus ( i chose KTEL, it’s very comfortable but please check the timetable on the website). This place is distant to everywhere, you can use a nearby supermarket that has everything at a fair price. If possible, you’d better rent a car, which could significantly improve your experience . I didn’t enjoy myself this time, somehow because of my personal affairs, hopefully you have a good time there!

My stay at The Royal Senses Hotel in Crete was truly exceptional. From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed by the warm and friendly staff who made me feel right at home. The hotel itself is beautifully designed, combining modern luxury with traditional Cretan touches that create a tranquil and inviting atmosphere. The rooms are spacious, impeccably clean, and offer breathtaking views of the sea, especially during sunset. Every detail, from the comfortable beds to the high-end amenities, was thoughtfully curated for maximum comfort. I especially loved the private pool, which added an extra layer of relaxation to my stay. Dining at the hotel was a highlight, with a variety of restaurants offering fresh, delicious, and locally sourced dishes. The Cretan cuisine was outstanding, and the service was attentive and professional. There’s something for every palate, and I never had a meal that wasn’t top-notch. The resort’s amenities are equally impressive, with a spa that provides indulgent treatments, a well-equipped fitness center, and multiple pools perfect for lounging. Whether you’re looking for a relaxing retreat or a base to explore Crete, The Royal Senses delivers on every front. The hotel’s location is ideal for exploring the island, with easy access to nearby beaches, charming villages, and historical sites. The staff also went above and beyond to offer recommendations and assist with arranging excursions. Overall, The Royal Senses Hotel is a perfect blend of luxury, comfort, and authentic Cretan hospitality. I would highly recommend it to anyone seeking a memorable stay in Crete. This review highlights the hotel’s luxury, location, and excellent service, appealing to travelers seeking a high-end experience.

Apartment Stella Paradise by Checkin is very conveniently located in Hersonissos - the main city beach is just 5 minutes walk around a corner, 10 minutes of pleasant walk to the city promenade with restaurants and bars, and no more than 20 minutes walk along the coastal line of hotels, restaurants and small pebble beaches to the best nearest sandy beach of Sarandari. The apartments themselves are quite budget style, but at the same time is very comfortable accommodation option for travelers who appreciate the optimal combination of price and quality. Our room consisted of a small bedroom, and a living room with a sofa bed and a small kitchen equipped with a stove, fridge and kettle. For those who prefer to cook while traveling, there is a necessary minimum of cooking equipment, but we have ordered breakfasts, which were covered by Stella herself the owner of the apartments. I would like to say a special thank to Stella for all her help during our stay - she recommended wonderful restaurants and beaches, ordered taxi and table in the restaurant, and solved all the minor issues we had, this made travel planning very easy and made our stay very comfortable. Despite the fact that this is not a hotel but a complex of apartments, the room was cleaning every day. And a big advantage was the presence of a terrace where it was convenient to dry bathing suits after the beach, and drink a glass of wine in the evening. I will definitely stay here if I come to Hersonissos again.

Ich wartete mehr vom Hotel... Ich glaube nicht, dass die Bilder genau zeigen, was das Hotel bietet... vor allem die Pools... Ich und mein Freund hatten eine sehr schlechte Situation. Wir gingen zu einer Tour in Santorini und das Ferry-Boot war spät auf dem Weg zurück. Unser Führer rief das Hotel um ein spätes Abendessen für uns und das Hotel sagte, sie würden bereitstellen. Als wir ins Hotel kamen, sahen wir, dass sie unsere Lebensmittel auf dem Boden gelegt haben, nahe der Zimmertür. Ich habe einen Fehler gemacht (Ich nehme an) Ich wollte das Ding aushängen, sagen “Machen Sie mein Zimmer” aber ich wähle die falsche Seite und setzen dort “keine Störung” Aber wenn unser Führer das Hotel anruft und sagt, dass wir in Santorini waren, könnten sie ins Zimmer gehen, um unsere Nahrung im Kühlschrank zu setzen oder in der Bar zu halten... Ich ging hinunter und sprach mit einem Kerl in der Rezeption, zeigte ihm das Bild, das ich hier angebracht habe, und er antwortete mir, dass es mein Fehler war, die “keine Störung” an der Tür zu setzen und er konnte nichts für uns tun, wir sollten das Essen essen, das auf dem Boden war 😱😡. Keine Entschuldigung für das... Am Tag nachdem ich mit dem Manager gesprochen habe, entschuldigte sie sich und gab uns einen Gutschein zum Mittagessen. Wir entschuldigten uns, aber ich werde niemals diese Situation vergessen...

Overall, you will not be disappointed at this hotel with anything. As for improvements, there could be fountains to wash off the sand off the feet which is commonly seen normally but wasn’t available here with a long beach. The staff are always greeting us with a simile! It’s super duper busy so things get a bit hectic. When we first checked it, a member of staff was a little impatient with some questions…the food is so abundant. In fact, too much but with kids, it’s convenient. Good clientele- everyone minds their own business, trying to relax. Some more signage could help around the hotel as it’s massive..Finally, the second room in the family room has sofas instead of beds which are not comfortable. They can have options with two proper bedrooms because with growing kids, they don’t want to be squeezed and uncomfortable on holiday. Thanks to everyone who helpedus to make sure we can have a good time on holiday!

Das gesamte Personal war großartig. Super freundlich und hilfsbereit. Sie haben sich wie eine Familie um uns gekümmert. Vor allem das Personal an der Strandbar war die Nr. 1. Wir waren mit einer großen Gruppe von Freunden zusammen und sie waren so aufmerksam und haben unserem Erlebnis viel Gelächter und Spaß verliehen. Ich würde dieses Hotel wärmstens empfehlen.

This hotel was perfect on all aspects, the room was amazing, big very clean and well equipped. The view from the balcony and the swimming pool was brilliant! I really enjoyed the spa and the interior pool as well. The restaurant of the hotel was perfect too, the food was really good. But most importantly, the staff of the hotel was highly professional and the nicest people! All of them were very good to us and treated us so well. I include everyone in the staff including the cleaning lady who was so lovely too. All in all this might have been my best holiday in a very long time if not ever. I highly recommend this hotel! Big thank you to everyone at Lagon life spirit boutique hotel, you’ve made our stay so perfect!
