Cons:

L’accueil peu sympathique avec ma réservation perdue
Le logement bruyant ( route et avion)
Le petit déjeuner sans pain frais ni chocolat à boire et dommage pas proposé en terrasse

Hôtel agréable et bien situé
Pros:

L'emplacement de l'hôtel est trés bien, le jardin est trés joli, la vue sur la mer et la piscine. Nous avons aussi eu une chambre vue mer alors que j'avais choisi "vue jardin" donc c'était une belle surprise !

Cons:

le petit dejeuner qui est principalement salé, donc pas beaucoup d'option si comme moi vous n'aimait pas le salé le matin. (il était inclu dans ma réservation, mais hors réservation je trouve que c'était un peu cher)

Perfect Cretian Getaway
Pros:

Location was amazing, little shop just 5 minutes up the road and the beach 8 minutes in the other direction. A small taverna just by the beach, perfect for viewing the sunset. Staff were really welcoming and the rooms were kept clean every day. The perfect getaway if you don’t mind abit of plane spotting!

Cons:

Planes were abit noisy.

מלון דירות חביב ופשוט בקרבת נסיעה קצרה מחאניה
Pros:

המארחים סטלה ובעלה היו מקסימים ועם נכונות וסבלנות לעזור בכל עניין. המתחם פשוט ונקי. המיטות היו נוחות. המיקום ממש ליד חוף ים ובקרבת חופים יפים אחרים ובקרבה יחסית לחאניה. יש אוטבוס קרוב שלוקח לעיר. הבריכה היתה נקייה ונחמדה בסך הכל

Cons:

לא היתה הרבה פרטיות בין החדרים, שומעים כל רעש וזה יוצר אי נוחות בין האורחים. המיקום אמנם קרוב לחופים יפים אבל מקום האירוח ממוקם בתוך שכונה שאין הרבה מה לעשות בה. המקום נראה הרבה יותר יפה ואטרקטיבי בתמונות, במציאות פחות. לא כל כך מותאם לילדים צעירים. אולי רק לחדרים הפרטיים שלהם זה מתאים.

Ne séjournez jamais ici !!
Pros:

Le personnel mais cela ne suffit malheureusement pas.

Cons:

Lisez bien mon commentaire avant de réserver.

Par où commencer?

Établissement très bruyant, situé à côté d’une route passante et situé également dans le couloir aérien de l’aéroport de la canée. De plus des avions de chasse de l’OTAN passent dans le ciel tout les jours matin et soir !!
S’ajoute à cela les chambres qui sont très mal insonorisé vous n’entendrez que vos voisins, le personnel à la réception et les portes qui claquent.

Concernant l’intérieur de l’hôtel nous avons eu une chambre avec de grosses fissures sur les murs, les équipements sont vieux , rien n’a était rénové. Un monte escalier stana vous attend en face de la réception…

Le prix n’est pas du tout justifié.
Je ne comprend pas les notes de cet établissement , ne réservez jamais ici à moins que ce soit pour 1 ou 2 nuits gros maximum. Vous ne pourrez pas vous reposer.

Très très déçu nous sommes restés 5 nuits sans compensation de la part de l’hôtel. Une honte.

Fantastic
Pros:

We have not long got back from a great stay at Creta Vitalis. The room was very comfortable with AC, clean towels and room change everyday, a nice balcony to sit on. Bathroom clean and modern. Breakfast was was lovely with a variety of food to eat, my friend and I enjoyed the cake, bread, cheese pie, and watemelon. Especially the coffee - thank you Vangelis. The pool area is fantastic and it is a great size, always clean and refreshing. A big thanks to Nikos & nini Nikos at the pool bar for making our trip so memorable with their funny, friendly service. One day we will be back to drink all your Mythos again! Efharisto poli to all the team at Creta Vitalis, we are definitely missing you.

Cons:

Nothing about the hotel - just rent a car if you are confident to drive around the area as it is about 20 minutes from Chania centre. We figured out the bus service but this is quite a walk from the hotel so be prepared if you are going to do this. Not a lot of restaurants within walking distance so keep some euros for taxis.

Booked for 2 weeks, stayed 3 days and left
Cons:

The so called superior room is on a main road and the property is directly under the airport flight path, noisy from both constantly. We were abruptly moved from our room at midnight on our 1st night by the very irate owner who claimed we were put in the wrong room! And put in another very small double.Not our fault. Weren’t offered another room
We left the property and found a great place elsewhere

Very lovely hotel and a well placed village, but you have to have a car
Pros:

Beach is 5-7 min walk; hotel is very close to the airport, lovely breakfast with very nice staff at the breakfast. I changed the room - first was not very good, soup on ground, broken glass in the bathroom, not the view promissed but the second room I was placed couple days later was really great - amazing sea view, better maintained bathroom. Very cute. The gardener is amazing, so beautiful. Nice pool with nice view.

Cons:

The first room I was placed was not well maintained; pool bar was closed and I was informed only shortly before arrival. Reception is noisy in early mornings and evenings. Not the best hotel for light sleepers due to reception, airport, bad isolation between rooms.
