Orpheas Resort Hotel (Adults Only)

My friend & I stayed at this hotel for 7 days in early June. We had a late afternoon flight, so with the 2 hour time difference, we didn't arrive until about 10pm. We were greeted warmly by Antonis, who informed us how to check in on our phones, which was relatively painless. We were shown to the dining room for a delicious cold platter of meats, cheeses & Greek salad 😋 which was laid on due to us missing our evening meal. We were shown to our room by a nice lady with a torch, as the lighting was quite subtle amongst the garden paths at this time of night. We had a ground floor room with twin beds, 2 wardrobes with plenty of hangers & a shower in the bathroom. There is a normal size hairdryer on top of the safe in one of the wardrobes, so you can use it in the main room in front of a big mirror rather than one of those dinky things that are fixed on the bathroom wall with a steamed up mirror. The shower sometimes flooded if you're not careful, but that wasn't really an issue as the cleaner would always replace the floor mat if it got drenched! Our room was on the end facing the seafront, although the trees blocked some of the view it was lovely to sit outside on our little terrace listening to the waves. The gardens are well kept & watered, so everything is lush & green. There is a separate beach bar open during the day for snacks, light lunches & drinks. All very reasonable. You can charge it to your room or pay by cash or card. There is also a pool there, which is very quiet if you want to chill out. There is also a Spa just to the left of it, but we didn't use it. There are sunbeds with an umbrella on the beach, but you have to pay €6 daily. We felt this was quite reasonable & you can charge this to your room or just pay the guy when he comes up to give you your ticket. The breakfast was plentiful, but everything was in hot plates, so fried eggs were hard & the omelette were sliced up. There were no scrambled eggs & the toaster was extremely slow. There were all the usual continental dishes, yoghurt you spooned yourself, pastries, cereal & fresh fruit. The evening meals were buffet style with 1 or 2 choices for vegetarians & the salads were wonderful, as was the fresh friut. They also had show cooking with a different dish each night. There's hardly any entertainment at this hotel, but the bars across the busy main road sometimes had live music & the Pirates bar just along from our hotel was quite lively. There's a large supermarket across the road too, so if you want any provisions or water, it's ideal. There is a fridge in your room, but it's a fixed mini bar with charges if you have something from it. The drinks at the hotel were very reasonable & the barman is so friendly. He will go out of his way to make whatever you like & he makes great cocktails🍸 The hotel is adults only & is reflected in the clientele. We did an evening trip to Chania town booked at one of the kiosks just outside our hotel. It took an hour on an air-cond

Mukava paikka, saatan mennä uudestaan Ystävällinen palvelu ja henkilökunta. Aamiainen hyvä ja runsas.

Pros: Excellent location. Really nice hotel. Staff all friendly. Cats are adorable Cons: Room not as clean as I would have liked when we arrived. Food is good but not excellent. Water from the shower overflows to the bedroom
