Esperides Resort Crete, The Authentic Experience

I will try to be realistic , I work in hospitality and I know what and how much means a review for a serious business…beautiful resort, location, cleanliness, facilities, staff I would say 5 stars and I mean it, if you want a beautiful experience then this is what are you looking for ! But as everything in this world isn’t perfect…I called the resort to let them know we will be later than we expected , our flight been delayed and they been lovely arranging a airport transfer for us, we been expected even was late with a small cold buffet for dinner more than we expected; at check in the receptionist , a lovely , lovely lady Felicia had made the effort to speak with us in our native language, my wife doesn’t speak English and Mrs. Felicia has been amazing , we been informed we received a upgraded room instead of room, private pool, inland view etc. , a room with private pool sea view etc. , … we didn’t plan on spending much time in resort we wanted to visit the island to see as much was possible from, now the “ let down “ part , the room was gorgeous , clean , bright but it was a weird smell of cleaning products and not sure what else so on our stay we kept the windows and terrace door open for fresh air otherwise we wouldn’t be able to sleep there also sea view for us been actually street view and not much privacy ; on let down chapter we have got half board and if the breakfast was perfect on dinner I would say apart of cold buffet which was absolutely perfect almost everything what was hot ( stew, chicken, pork , etc)quite bland and taste less.

The hotel is amazing, there are many cozy spots. There is a quiet pool for adults only and another upper pool for families, both are inviting, clean, well kept and plenty of sunbeds. There is a very nice bar in the upper pool with kind service and staff. There is another bar next to the restuarant of the hotel with comfortable sofas and a beautiful ocean view. The hotel is located in a perfect location. 20 min walk from Hersonises which makes the hotel peaceful with amazing views. There is a minimarket at the entrance of the hotel which was very useful as well as car rental agency with reasonable prices. The room was very comfortable, clean and nicely decrorated with a great shower with hot water 24/7 and fantastic stream. The hotel staff was amazing, always avaialble and kin to help with a big smile and endless kindness. Definitely one of the best hotels Ive ever been to, the expereince was perfect.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Esperides Resort in Crete, and I cannot recommend it highly enough. From the moment I arrived, I was captivated by the hotel's beauty and hospitality. One of the highlights of my stay was the private pool in my room. It provided the perfect oasis to unwind and enjoy some tranquil moments. Additionally, the two public pools were equally impressive. The hotel clearly takes great pride in maintaining its pools as they were sparkling clean and surrounded by lush greenery, creating a truly serene atmosphere. The hotel's attention to cleanliness extended to the rooms as well. My accommodation was immaculate and well-maintained throughout my stay. The housekeeping staff did a remarkable job, and I appreciated returning to a tidy room every day. The hotel's aesthetics were simply enchanting, with beautifully lit pathways and picturesque views. It created a magical ambiance, especially during the evenings. Strolling through the hotel grounds felt like being in a dream, and I enjoyed every moment of it. The hotel staff deserves special praise for their warm and welcoming nature. They were always ready to assist with a smile and made me feel at home. Their local knowledge was valuable in guiding me to some hidden gems and lesser-known attractions in the area. The breakfast and lunch buffets were delightful culinary experiences. The wide array of dishes catered to various tastes and dietary preferences, and the quality was exceptional. I looked forward to starting my day with the delicious breakfast spread and enjoyed the variety offered during lunchtime. In conclusion, my time at Esperides was a true pleasure. The combination of a great private pool, well-maintained public pools, clean and comfortable rooms, enchanting surroundings, friendly staff, and delectable meals made my stay truly memorable.

Excellent staff. The property is very beautiful and extremely well maintained. The food is of a high standard too. One is made to feel very welcome. The bar at night is superb with far reaching views. The spa is worth mentioning - my partner and I had very good treatments/massages by the very professional and committed Christopher. First rate. Also the cleaners are very dedicated and nothing is overlooked. A very tight-run ship indeed - hard to fault. You can feel the quality of the equipment, building materials and design and the real commitment of the staff to their guests.

We booked the room with a private pool, which was a unique and enjoyable experience. The standout aspect of our stay was the excellent service from the hotel staff. From the moment we arrived, the reception staff made us feel welcome, and the check-in process was smooth and efficient. The waitstaff at breakfast were also very attentive and friendly, ensuring a pleasant dining experience. Additionally, the hotel pools were lovely—clean, well-maintained, and provided a very relaxing atmosphere.
