Brilliant relaxing break
We stayed in an amazing room with private pool overlooking sea, room was great, service and food in all restaurants was fantastic, we enjoyed breakfast each day in the Crete restaurant overlooking the beach. We would love to go back for another holiday!

Very large property. Chic resort, with an “all inclusive” resort feel. Definitely not intimate, if you are looking for that feel. Nice beach inclusions along the property. The food was very average and higher price point. Our service and food at Buddha Bar, which has a lovely view, was not good and no awareness to the food not eaten. The room had an awkward layout, open concept, with the shower separate and right at the door. Our suite had ants all over the bar area and outdoors sitting space. The rooms are temperature controlled by the door being opened and closed - hard to regulate. Very warm and then too cold.

Good hotel but not worth it
It’s a nice enough resort and property. But very overpriced for what you get. I don’t see this Iine as a 5 star hotel. The linens and beds were great. The gym very nice. I found the rooms to be tacky for my taste. I would not stay here again especially for the price. I got a two story room. The service was great. The staff friendly and helpful. But when I think 5 star and this price I think four seasons and other type brands. And this is not there. Not even close.

Good resort, dinner was a big disappointment.
The resort itself is good and breakfast is great. Dinner was the downside here. There are a couple of restaurants in the hotel, but they are just not that good, and also super expensive compared to the restaurants in the city center.

Excellent Service
Excellent visit to the Abaton Hotel. Service second to none, nothing was ever too much trouble. hotel very clean. and the food was fine dining even round the pool. only criticism is that rooms with a hot tub have no view what so ever, all you get to look at is a painted wall. so please bear this in mind if you book one.

We had such an amazing stay at abaton island, the hotel is beautiful, the restaurants are incredible and the staff are incredibly helpful and friendly. If we have one tini tiny complaint it would be that the steak restaurant on site seems to restrict what you can buy, we went 3 times as really wanted a particular cut and on each time we went they said it was out of stock and the same cut of meet each time was the only one available , on the 3rd attempt we made it a little more clear of our disappointment as we booked the opening time reservation to make sure we could have it and it was the same story. Then the waitress went to the kitchen and said it was actually available. I’m not sure the reason for this maybe for stock control or something but it was a little frustrating , but we did end up finally being able to order and it didn’t disappoint. Just a shame we had to try 3times to get what we wanted … but other than that honestly can’t recommend this place enough.

Heaven!!! This hotel was pure luxury, the pool was beautiful, food amazing. A very romantic place.. not really for families and more for couples.. Would recommend, on the beach and resort not too big. Rooms are beautiful! Only negative would be about the reception staff, they gave us very confusing Information about where and when to get the tests, I also added someone to my booking and extended my stay over the phone however the reception staff didn’t have any record of these conversations and nothing had been actioned Xxx

The hotel is stunning and the spa treatments are amazing. The hotels cleaning service could be better, there was a lack of attention to detail. We only stayed for two nights, so the limited cuisines options didn't bother us. We enjoyed the breakfast buffer, but the coffee was not great. Overall we enjoyed our stay at the Abaton.

Amazing facilities, pool, rooms and views. Excellent atmosphere and environment. A true luxurious experience but still Need some improvement in the staff at the reception in order for them to behave as a 5 star hotel. No information provided on the area, things to do or nearby interesting spots. The restaurant staff go beyond to make the experience enjoyable and are very nice and friendly but look very tired as they have long journey of work.

Beautiful hotel and rooms can’t fault anything about them, it’s a shame for such a lovely hotel it doesn’t have a beach. The service isn’t quiet to a 5* standard, Whilst the staff were very friendly the service at breakfast was very slow and everyday we had an issue with the wrong order being brought out or you would order a coffee and they would forget to bring it to you. We ordered food to our room one evening and it arrived with no cutlery or napkins and no glasses, we waited so long for the food to arrive which was cold by the time it got there that we didn’t bother to phone back to reception! We also used our coffee cups in our room one morning and the dirty tray and cups stayed there all week they never replaced any of it and for a 5* hotel things like this should be basic stuff.
