Agapi Beach Resort - Premium All Inclusive

Agapi Beach Resort - Premium All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent
"Most staff excellent and very friendly. The hotel was very well maintained and renovated to a very good standard. Excellent private beach with loungers, towels and umbrellas included. Very nice pools and lobby area and outdoor gardens were exceptionally maintained. We were there in August and there were a few days that the wind and waves was a bit much, but apparently this is normal for August and other months are better. We still loved being at the beach. There were alot of food choices, most was OK to good and some was great, but you learn after a couple days what to order and what to choose. Dolce Vida had a great caprese salad and an excellent salmon, but the beef was tough and and overdone. You have to keep in mind that even at the sit-down restaurants, the food is generally pre-prepared as they cant make it fresh for large volumes of people. This affects the quality, but we were generally happy as there was enough choices and if we were still hungry or didnt like our meal, we went to the buffet to fill up on what we liked. Overall a great hotel with a nice beach. For an all inclusive with the location and renovated rooms, it was a fair price as there are very limited options in all of Greece at this price point that offer a large nice hotel on a beach. Very kid friendly even though we did not travel with kids."

"Wonderful beach with amazing marine life! The sea was full of colorful fish, and we were even lucky enough to spot a turtle while snorkeling, which was a truly memorable experience. The beach itself was clean, beautiful, and very well maintained. The food was also excellent. The vegetables were always fresh, and the desserts were absolutely delicious with plenty of great options to choose from. The only small downside for us was the limited selection of spicy food. We would have loved to see more authentic Greek dishes on the menu, as well as some Indian food options. However, this did not take away from our overall experience. Overall, it was a fantastic holiday destination, and we highly recommend it for anyone looking for a relaxing beach getaway with beautiful scenery and great snorkeling opportunities."

Galaxy Hotel Iraklio

8/10 Good
"We booked our stay months in advance of our trip. Yet when we arrived at 11pm at night (my wife, I, 2 children and the Mother In Law we were told the room wasn’t ready(?!) and they would have to put another bed in a different room so we could all fit in. That led to a half hour delay (not welcome at that time of night with young children) and worse still we would have to move rooms the next day…hotel is good for a city centre location, but that really poor start left a bad taste in the mouth…."
