Kalypso Cretan Village Resort & Spa

I would say it is a magical place that does not let go easily. The hotel isn't new, consequently there are issues with rooms that need a touch up which is planned. I loved the place and people and would definitely come back! Thank you!

Удивительное место, горы, чистое море, вкусное питание, дружелюбный персонал. Как мы узнали, знатоки этого места приезжают многие годы подряд. Свой дайвинг-центр. Отдельное спасибо администратору Инне за улыбку, отзывчивость и хорошее выполнение своей работы. Отель соответствует оплаченным деньгам.

Well, where shall I start, I’m not one for leaving reviews, and one of the many that will only review something because I’m REALLY not happy, and after returning, I’m REALLY not happy. Rooms: very dated bathroom with shower over the WC, beds comfy and clean linen, no dryer on balcony that you would normally get in most hotels, cleaners did an ok job but surfaces not wiped. Food: very limited, and lukewarm at best, I think the menu rotation was every 4 days, but that was only to the main dishes, of which there were 4 choices at the most. Breakfast was much the same, with the same items on offer every day, and again lukewarm. Pizza oven and kebab grill in the dining area, which wasn’t used for the duration of my stay. Dining Area: pretty clean, although most of the time you had to retrieve your own cutlery, broken ceramic floor tiles to one area, lucky there weren’t any children walking without shoes. Huge wasp problem, which you can’t blame the hotel for, but they only had 2 wasp traps up that I saw. Pools: 3 pools containing sea water, obviously no one understood evaporation as the salt content had been condensed to a level to make it very unpleasant. Beds around the pools were broken, had no cushions or the cushions were filthy. Lower section next to the sea is owned by the hotel, but guests have to pay to use them, also very popular with non-guests clogging up the parking areas which are meant to be for guests only. I can’t say that my stay was an enjoyable experience, it wasn’t, I can’t say my stay was cheap, it was a mid-priced hotel, but not a mid-standard hotel, more of a very poor standard hotel.

Just returned from a lovely week's holiday at the Kalypso Cretan Village Resort and Spa. Whilst there are many positives, there are also a few negatives, but I would still give it 4* as it was a relaxing week. Firstly, I was really worried about going after reading all the awful reviews, but we honestly had a great time as a family and no real regrets. Positives - 3 swimming pools, which gave lots of choice for every day. The main pool was lively, and the pool bar served all-inclusive drinks throughout the day until 7 pm. The scenery is amazing with lots of nice walks available, if you are prepared for a bit of a hike. The beach area is stunning, with a lovely cove to have a swim in the sea. At the restaurant food was OK, some days were better than others, a good variety of drinks to go with breakfast, lunch and dinner, which are all included until 10pm. The staff were lovely and couldn't fault their service. When we asked for extra clean towels, they were provided by housekeeping immediately. Our room was cleaned daily and was spacious enough for 4 people. Evening entertainment was again limited, but we enjoyed the manager's drinks evening on Friday and Greek dancing on Saturday. A taxi to Plakias costs 8 euros and there is a great beach with some nice little shops, lovely bars and restaurants for variety. Negatives - This hotel is not a spa hotel. The all-inclusive package is limited and drinks at the main bar have to be paid for additionally; however, there is a discount of 40%. The beach bar is not included in the all-inclusive package and sun beds, drinks etc are extra - I dont think all of these things are made clear at the time of booking. My only real complaint would be the bathroom, we struggled each day with flooding after showers and it needs updating. In conclusion, we had a very nice relaxing week's stay at Kalypso, just be prepared that all-inclusive is limited and not what you automatically think it's going to be - take extra cash!

I spent two weeks at Kalypso and, believe me, it was the best vacation ever. The room was perfect, the sea absolutely amazing (!!!), and the resort itself was peaceful and had everything I could possibly need. There was a wide variety of delicious food, and the staff were always kind, helpful, and present whenever needed (Inna 🫶🏻). From the very first night, I felt completely at home. A special thanks goes to Eleni and her massages – amazing woman and her treatments were truly the best I’ve ever had. Love you all, Kalypso team! Grazie di cuore.. – Barbara
