Hydramis Palace Beach Resort

Lovely hotel and value for money. Beautiful settings and the friendliest staff ever make you feel so welcome. Yes it’s a little dated but you get what you pay for. Cannot fault it. I would definitely hook again next time in Crete. Lovely thank you

This is an honest review with no axe to grind. In the interest of fairness let's start by saying what the hotel does well. Nice grounds, great wifi and they clean your room daily. That's it I'm afraid. Let's start with the rooms. The rooms are extremely dated. You have no complementary robe, trouser press, iron, mini bar and the safe, which I have never come across, you have to pay for. 10 days will cost you just over 33 Euro. The curtains didn't fit the window properly, so when the sun which came up directly opposite my window around 6am, the light flooded in. The standard in the rooms really is not good as are other areas of the hotel and I will upload images. Activities and entertainment. None and little. So the weather took a turn and there was five days of rain and storms. Obviously not the hotels fault but if you don't have a vehicle to get out then what are you going to do? No indoor pool, sauna, steam, massages didn't start until May 1st, which by the way looked like it was an outside company from my enquires, no yoga/pilates, zero kids clubs, literally no activity coordinator. As for entertainment this was about 2/3 times a week at the pool bar. The only bar. Maybe further into the season they have entertainment nightly. I could forgive all of this but not the standard and choice of the food. This was below average. Everyday the fruit was the same. Apple and oranges at breakfast, apple, oranges and pineapple with banana at lunch and dinner. Never any berries, kiwi, melon, grapes, nothing. They had a meat stand where they cooked 2 meats a night. Every night one was liver and the other chicken or lamb chump chops. I'm working class and brought up on liver but I don't expect it at a hotel purporting to be 5*. The other meats were always tough and over cooked. I love seafood and they often had calamari in various forms but then I spotted the crab sticks. Yes, the ones which have no crab in and we get in the UK. 5*? I don't think so. There are no other restaurants or themed nights like a bbq night. Therefore, you eat here or eat out. I was all inclusive and started to eat out in the evenings which added to my holiday expense. Oh btw, as did the 15 Euro nightly tourist charge for a 5* hotel which I wouldn't have minded if this was actually a 5* hotel. On another note the red wine is like vinegar. I tried it once. I did come away with a gift of a small bottle of the red bearing the hotel name. I gave to to my friend who promptly messaged me with expletives. Just wanted a second opinion. This could be a nice hotel if they invested in better quality and choice of food, had a spa fitted, update the rooms as well as an activity coordinator for adults and kids alike. Honestly, I get the feeling they just want the money and couldn't really care. Shame because some of the best holidays I've ever had have been on Greek Islands.

Good place to have relaxing holiday Nice stay. Pool area was nice and directly connected to beach. Relaxing time with all inclusive service. Quite old hotel but mostly in good shape. Tennis court was bad and also ping pong equipment etc should be replaced.. Good service. Specially our early check-in was really well organized

Das Maisonettzimmer hat eine sehr steile Treppe, ist groß und hat eine große Terrasse. Das Meer bzw der Meerblick ist ein ganzes Stück entfernt. Das Zimmer war uns zu umständlich und wir haben ein anderes Doppelzimmer genommen. Der Meerblick war ziemlich schmal durch die Hotelbauten. Das Hotel hat leider keinen Park zum flanieren, da das Stück Küste total mit dem Hotel verbaut ist. Man muss Treppe bzw. schiefe Ebenen nehmen um zum Essen, Pool oder zum Strand zu kommen. Der Strand gehört zum Hotel und es sind nur Hotelgäste dort. Es gibt überall genügend Liegestühle und Schirme, ein großer Vorteil. Das Essen ist gut. Das Personal war sehr freundlich.

This is a beautiful hotel set I n an idyllic setting. We stayed here for a week. The staff every where we're friendly and attentive. Rooms were large and clean. Very nicely decorated. We found the bed too hard and the hotel put a topper on the bed for us which totally solved the hard bed problem. Nothing seemed to be too much trouble. Food was excellent quality and plentiful. Drinks were free flowing and the waiters filled glasses immediately upon seeing them empty. Waiters were fast and very helpful. Sweet smelling flowers everywhere. Loved this place and totally recommend it.

Super net hotel. Het eten was heel lekker. We zaten in de all-inclusive formule. Deze was wel wat teleurstellend want kon enkel gebruik maken van drank en eten binnen bepaalde uren. Ook de keuze van waar men kon eten was minder. Zo waren er bv snacks aan de poolbar maar dit was echt heeeeel miniem van keuze. Hierdoor zijn we zowel 's middags als 's avonds gaan eten in het buffet. Hier was het eten OP EN TOP!! Zo lekker en gevarieerd elke dag en zelfs s middags en s avonds, elke keer weer andere keuze en super lekker. Ook het personeel hier was heel vriendelijk. Kamers werden elke dag grondig gepoetst en ook aan handdoeken of zeep genoeg in overvloed. Het hotel is ook super mooi, met heel veel beplanting en bloemen. Ook de toegang tot zee heel gemakkelijk. Zwembad ook super en heeeeeeel netjes. Echt een aanrader. Animatie werd maar door 1 persoon gegeven maar deze deed het echt super. Ook mogelijkheid meerdere keren s avonds om uit de bol te gaan en dansje te placeren.
