Xerokambos Gorge

This is a beautiful hotel. It is in a very busy, touristy area, but the hotel itself is serene and beautiful. We had an awesome stay. We loved the spa, and there was a waitress (she’s the one most often working the bar, she has long brown hair and braves) who is SO sweet. She made our whole trip with her attentiveness and kindness. We would be back if we went back to Crete.

Very well maintained property. Very good variety breakfast buffet. Shower water pressure was poor. Mattress not most comfortable. Spring noticeable protrusion.

Our room had a wonderful private pool and it had an amazing view. The food is okay but hardly anything is labelled so as a vegetarian it was difficult figuring out what to choose. Overall the staff were great but had one issue with a receptionist who was unable to understand a request to buy bottled water so I had to pull up google translate for him to understand. They say 24 hour reception but this was only at about 11PM so it was surprising that the receptionist at this time couldn't speak any English. Also felt a bit disgruntled that they charge for tennis although there being no mention of that before booking. The location is good although if you're a keen beach goer you need water shoes to get in the sea and the visibility is very poor compared to other local beaches.
