Oct 2019. We arrived late evening and the man on the desk, was not very kind to us, very rude. Had to email a copy of booking to reception to prove who we was. The rest of reception staff was very good during our 2 weeks stay. Our room was located near the main road right at bottom of the steps. Lots & lots of steps, only suitable for anyone who is very fit 140 steps from top floor to our room. Was very fit at end of our 2 weeks. We had a excellent sea view from our room window. The area we stayed in was very modern, newer part of resort. New modern electrics with lots of USB points and wall mounted TV. so it was worth walking down all the steps to get to our room. We only took the transport occasionally. Restaurant - It is a bit disappointing when you first walk in, needs upgrading, redecorating. The staff in the restaurant did look after you, and food was very good standard. Some staff members did serve you most of the evening in different parts of resort, and they where very nice to us. Did try the Greek Restaurant & La Carte Restaurant as well. The Resort was good value for the price which we paid 42% off, but some areas like main restaurant are not 5 star. There was some entertainment, but we would have liked more entertainment most evenings and in the main hotel bar next to reception. Went down to the beach a few times, but it is a long walk down the hills in the heat, best to take the bus. local bus to Herakilion from the resort, it is in a remote area.

Rude reception staff including general manager, small dirty room not what we paid for or what is shown on the web site photos of a standard double room with sea view. We stayed a total of 10 hours and left for alternative accommodation at our expence .We have holidayed on Crete for the past 20 years 2 or 3 times a year and never experienced such rude staff or poor quality accommodation. Based on our brief stay at this hotel I would give it 2* max and that is being generous.

Checkin was extremely rude, the food in the buffet was all cold and if you moved to get some you lost your table. The checkout was the only thing I would say was ok and that’s because we were getting out of there.

On 9.11, we made a reservation (number 74738506303690 )for hotel named athine palace resort for2 rooms Unfortunately we received something completely different from the pictures in the hotel website. The corridors are dark and unpleasant to walk Rooms with a pungent odor of chlorine. The rooms look like hostel rooms and not 5-star hotel rooms. To get to the room, you have to climb 400 steps and I, as a pregnant woman,in 7 month certainly cannot climb this staircase The vacation became a nightmare The hotel is far from 5 star!!! We are very disappointed and angry. I feel like it's cheating to show different images from reality We asked to cancel the booking but unfortunately they did not agree and we had to stay at the above hotel on holiday without pleasure. we did a reservation through you on 3 rooms. 2 rooms on my name and one room on the name liran Yehuda. Thank you for your treatment and waiting for a response. I request a refund Kind Regards Nitzan Steinberg Phone-972504893595 .

Was a great beach, and the room size was good but the rest was terrible. The room smelt mouldy and damp and we had a 2 bed 2 bath, The staff's attitude was terrible, they didn't greet guests they were rude. The dining experience was like a school dining hall and was a horrible experience. this is definitely not what I d expect of a all inclusive hotel. I think this is like a 3 star motel. the bedding was threadbare. the cocktails at night were in tiny glasses and was terrible. It definitely doesn't match the pictures on the website.
