We booked our stay hotel orpheas resort because of of reviews, which we HolidayCheck read-and it was really the best hotel, we during our honeymoon in Kreta stayed. The view was breathtaking and the rooms were big, meticulously clean and very comfortable. Orpheas resort lets little wishes open. Something for everyone. Everything else is already described. US missing in Germany the kindness of the Cretan. The willingness to help and friendliness of the staff are particularly praiseworthy. We will definitely come back and the complex only recommend to anyone. read more

    To the airport Heraklion it is unfortunately further. Bus transfer is approximately 2 hours better through Chania book. Purchase-and entertainment possibilities are in the immediate proximity. In front of the hotel is directly a bus stop up Chania drives is worthwhile this tour. Or also with the small railroad to the on the other side of the street stops.

    So for the waiters and the review this point, I am the whole time back and forth torn. One introdution: all of the staff in the hotel are very friendly and willing to help. The staff at reception I would like to especially stress. Make an wonderful great job. Many understand German, which I but not voraussetzte, when I stay at a foreign country drive. With English you at all staff further. Why I back and forth torn am: the waiters in the restaurant. These were sometimes overburdened and looked tired and worn out. All service staff every morning and evening in the hotel. This on duration nathalie found I can understand. My ambition at the quality of service, after this great reviews here, were higher. However these are really only details and above all of a high standard, the I have to complain about.

  • Sport & Entertainment

    Sports and entertainment are in this hotel yes unfortunately not given. The pool area was ok, but since this great sea directly in front of the house for swimming invites, I this is preferred. Even if many here praise: I found it a little unfortunately, that there is no entertainment in the hotel gives, even if it to me booking as was known. Under entertainment I want no stupid entertainment program have, but maybe a nice greek bar-B-queue. If you look at the facebook page of the hotel as well, you can see the photos, that it comfortable evenings earlier certainly has. Might be an idea, who the hotel translate. It would guests the bar in the hotel use.

    The hotel is in the city kavros. This is about kilometers away of georgioupolis. The hotel lies directly at a busy main street, however you get from the noise in the hotel complex nothing with. In kavros itself there is on the other side of the street some taverns/ bars and shops. What however a great shame is, that many of these taverns/ bars already very early close. I personally found a great shame, there comfortable evenings very early ended, even if the owners a never out chuck would. To west crete to explore, this is the ideal place to go out. With the public bus one comes fast and cheap to Chania and Rethymnon. Also excursions to the south is well worth it from here.

The orpheas resort is a wonderful where we felt very comfortable. The service and the friendliness the staff is excellent. From the delicious food not to mention-). The hotel is not too big and has a informal character. Who rest and relaxation and right next to the sea searches, is right at home here. We had booked the junior suite and this had direct view of the sea - it was beautiful. Romantic it really couldn't get, and who needs as animation:-). We had in any case two wonderful weeks in orpheas resort and comes back very gladly ... once again. Thanks to the great team from orpheas resort! It wasn't our last time with you-)!

I was 10 days the orpheas and found it really very nice. Those who seek peace and quiet it will find. No animation, no loud music, little children. The staff are very friendly. The prices in the hotel for eating and drinking are very cheap. What I felt negatively was the small TV. Excursions may over the hotel be booked, I looked back and has also local offerers so much cost. read more

The basic concept of the whole area (architecture and large garden) is quite good. However much dilapidated and neglected. Maintenance seems to be a foreign word, as long as the hotel sold out or overbooked (is probably more often). With 74 rooms well arranged and only with half board bookable.

    Boo... The 2. problem of the vacation... Every day were people to ' changing rooms ' at the front desk. A small room in the main building with a balcony the road and views on two trash cans! Was the domicile for two weeks. Closet space for 1 person already inadequate, for 2 people... Oh dear... Oh dear. There is a bed, two chairs (you could feel the springs in the sit on the backside) and the refrigerator for the mini bar (the prices are really cheap! 1l of water 0,50 Euro, beer 0,90 Euro). Air conditioning with variable temperature, safe was with 2,70 Euro per day pay. The bathroom was okay. Small shower, toiletries and hair dryer (for costly föhnfrisuren rather own hair dryer carry forward) paper in a bucket thrown, don't be surprised. Some rooms have a decorative concrete floor with cracks and stains! Generally, there was only the choice between 'cellar hole' (ground floor with lush greens before the nose) or ' view ' to the street or with noise from restaurant and kitchen (main building, facing the sea, restaurant)... Everything very badly soundproofed and from every balcony or terrace there are direct contact with the neighbors.

    Very good! Varied and nicely presented. For breakfast there were different sorts of rolls, bread, cereal and jam. Eggs, sausage, cheese, warm sweet and savoury treats. Fruit, quark, cake and cookies. Fresh orange juice you could for 1,50 Euro squeezed (in the evening costs the same juice 3,20 Euro) Coffee was in airpots brought to the table, or 'hot' water for various teas in the bag. For a small fee, there was Cappuccino or espresso. Evening was the offer also varied: two sorts meat dishes, vegetarian, always rice, alternating kartoffelbeilagen and vegetables. Salads, cheese platter, bread and a great (always seductive) dessert buffet rounded the gluttony from! Pasta with 2 sauces there was for children, or those, which nothing fancy \u263a Meals could you from 07:30 to 10:00 and 18:30 to 21:00 in the air-conditioned restaurant or under with canvas lined terraces in the outdoor area. The chef convinced nightly personally on his works (how will the buffet from the guests welcome...)

    Well... Here opinion is divided... The waiter in the hotel and of the pool bar were very nice and friendly. English and a little german, everyone could. For lunch it was at the pool bar a bit more hectic, otherwise they were all quite leisurely mood. Maid and the two ladies at the reception (one of the manager is) were rather reserved 'nice'. There were complaints in the hotel daily several times from several guests, the perforce been heard. Here the games: i would like to-my room-change at the first place! Particular mention should at this point the on-site caretaker find. Gästeumgang this not learned, are but very important. It is to summarize, also bellboy! Here, it is the smallest of the entire travel bags. Gladly lack in the morning on the lawn some beach chairs, so that at the beach more pay immediatly can. Does it in the afternoon at full price!

    There was no entertainment luckily no (a reason, why we this hotel bays). At the pool restaurant dudelte quiet and decent music, somewhat louder drive it from some of the other hotels at the beach over (about 1-2 hours per day). On the complex there were two small pools with integrated children's pool. A lag on the lawn with a view of the sea. Nicely arranged and directly at the pool bar abutting. The other was at the front of the restaurant... With a view to... Not everyone's thing... The lawn for sunbathing was big... However there was only around 15 to 20 beach chairs for about 150 guests! If we wanted to, unfortunately we were forced us the annoying habit of the beach chairs reservierens rejoin... And that in the morning at 07:00 o'clock. Not that, what we in holiday. The umbrellas were somewhere else... And at the children's playground, but also not shaded was... The water in the sea was great! Very refreshing and clear. Sometimes gave it in the afternoon a few waves, otherwise smooth as a baby's bottom. The beach at the hotel was unfortunately somewhat dirty and the chairs and screens (4,50 Euro for 2 chairs and a screen) partly broken. 2 showers are available, the, although rusty your purpose. Here there is potential for improvement. You can on 4 kilometer to the next place walk. Nice with sunscreen cream and sufficient from Germany take (the prices on site are absolutely ridiculously expensive)!

    The location in kavros is pretty good. It lies between the cities of Rethymnon and Chania (with public bus lines perfectly and favorably to reach), however at the! Main street. A car hire gives it in the place. A ' bimmelbändchen' drives to the next village and offers a range of excursions. From Chania airport is it takes an hour, and there are several shops to spend a lot of money ( keramikwaren nowhere cheaper) For a cocktail one can in the evening fast into the ' olympos' shoo...

    The beach is one of the best bathing beaches of crete. Baden we could unfortunately not much, because the whole week the red flag before a swim has warned. The pools are urgently in need of renovation and definitely not suitable for children.

The hotel complex general is nice and well maintained. The area nearby of the main building makes a stylish and worthy impression, the garden whereas works rather carelessly and getting a bit old. The pool bar could also once again somewhat effortless are, the chairs were partly rusty and worn.

    BE careful! If you in this hotel a while (depending upon organizer can it also different hot) with price advantage book, receive one of 6 mini -rooms with side ( room number 21 times)! This rooms are absolutely not recommendable and not reasonable. Unfortunately we did this in the buchungsübersicht not recognized and had the mean surprise only locally. There is no shelf space. If you the room enter, you nearly over the bed and there is only a small closet for 2 persons. No bedside table and no capacity for the luggages. As a couple you can the bathroom do not enter, the shower is more of a wet room, so tight it is. In addition the noise from the street the new road, also with closed rooms is the volume an impertinence. Yet on the day of arrival we wanted the room change, which unfortunately not was possible, since the hotel was booked. On the next day we could against an extra charge in a junior suite (401 ) move, this deserves the name in our opinion however not really. Compared to the first rooms have we this however gladly taken. There were 2 closets, shelf space and furthermore also a small additional room with 2 sofas, which we however didn't use it. Biggest advantage was however the quiet location in the side building with a terrace and view of the sea, here one heard nothing more from the noisy street. The bathroom was barely larger than the economy -room, only the shower was a bath tubs-shower and therefore not so cramped. As a couple you could nevertheless not in the bathroom. Value for money is for the rooms, we saw (213 and 401 ) not justified and no four-star standard. Perhaps we have but also just bad luck had. Air conditioning works, we have however only rarely used. Positively surprised the prices for the mini bar (0.70 Euro for 1l of water), so you had to not always to the supermarket go, if the water ran out.

    The praise the food several reviews here we can divide not completely. The food is good and we were always full. Everything seemed clean and the empty containers were always quickly refilled. There was evenings always salads and various creams and bread to the main courses. For children also mostly pasta with sauce. The rest was too many typical of the country and tasty, however one may not wide choice expect. The meat and the fish were often dry and vegetables and potatoes not rarely too salty. For breakfast there were the same bread as evenings, tasty and fresh. Also toast and small rolls. The coffee was delicious, the juice from the faucets you can however hardly drink, only with much water mixed. Alternative there is a freshly squeezed orange juice 0.3 liter for only 1.50 Euro, the we had from the 3. every day retreat. There were always cooked eggs and either omelet, porchiertes egg or scrambled egg. Very good were the small pancakes. Cheese, 2 different types of sausage and jams there was also. The selection for breakfast was therefore more than adequate. At the pool bar there is very delicious gyros pita for 2,50 Euro and a large greek salad for 5€, very recommendable. Also the cold coffee ( frappé) for 2€ is very good. You can actually everything to the room write let, from the fresh orange juice to the hotel - very pleasant, need one not always money with you.

    Because of the positive reviews what the staff's hospitality subject, we were rather disappointed.

    The pools are both rather small, but clean. You can also take a little swim, if you alone enjoy. At the back pool was a tile unattached on a large hole on the ground, the you could be better to solve. The loungers in the hotel area are free, rich however not for all of the guest. I guess there are maybe 15 chairs available. If they have already been reserved (very annoying, if nobody mood is, but already around half 10 everything is taken!) , you have to pay chairs on the beach use or on the floor are. In the hotel there are no animation and no child care, but that was clear to us, and so it should be. Accordingly are the majority of the guests young and older couples without children, too many German. Wifi is subject to a charge and not cheap. The calculator in the hotel was only for a fee internet enabled. Either should the costs significantly reduced or even completely be deleted. Lots of taverns in kavros offer free wi-fi-access.

    The hotel lies in kavros, a lying off village to georgioupolis. The distance from Heraklion airport is with a transfer bus about 2 hours. The beach is right next to the hotel and very attractive. 2 loungers included umbrella cost, Euro, there is a Raki-vouchers for 2 persons at the pool bar - a nice idea. The beach is clean, there are small terracotta -little bucket in the sand, so that hardly garbage can accumulate. The direct location at the new road was less beautiful, there drive cars, lorries and lots of buses with 90 kilometer per hour day and night. There is a supermarket shortly before the gas station, there one gets everything quite cheap. The taverns we didn't visit, for football fans are various games various loungers shown. There are hourly buses to Chania ( about 45 minutes) and Rethymnon ( about 20 minutes ) directly in front of the hotel from. Car rental company, there are several on the road opposite, also europcar.

The food regards it was for the tastebuds a treat no wonder, because the whole ingredients from the region originated. Breakfast and dinner was a treat! -the hotel is a only 'chill-out area'. Everything can on foot be achieved, many great shops and restaurant nearby. With next opportunity we go again. read more
