Wir würden wiederkommen
Pros:

Angela und ihre fleißigen Helferinnen sind ein freundliches und hilfsbereites Team. Beim Frühstück wurde schnell nochmal die Pfanne geschwungen damit immer frische Eierspeisen verfügbar waren. Es fehlte an nichts.
Zimmer, Pool, und Einrichtung in sehr gutem, sauberen Zustand.
Ein Mietwagen ist empfehlenswert.
Wir können das Hotel sehr empfehlen.

Cons:

Im Treppenhaus etwas hellhörig.
Die Nähe zum Flughafen kann positiv sowie negativ sein.

Pros:

Die überaus nette und hilfsbereite Dame, die auch das wunderbare Frühstück gemacht hat!! Vielen Dank nochmals!! Und die angenehme begrünte Lage auf der Halbinsel. Von hier sind wir ideal zum Flughafen Chania zu unserem Frühflug gekommen (und nein, wir hatten fast keinen Fluglärm). Vom Balkon sogar Meerblick (ab 2. OG). Man kann von dort gut Chania und Gegend erkunden (mit dem Auto), Parken umsonst direkt vor dem Haus kein Problem. Großer Esstisch, sehr geräumiges, großes Appartment, Bett bequem.

Cons:

Die Küchenzeile war praktisch gar nicht ausgestattet...nicht mal Geschirrspülmittel - vielleicht sollte man auch gar nicht selbst spülen. Geschirr und Besteck wie meistens abgezählt und lückenhaft. Fast keine Kochutenslilien. Appartment selbst einfach eingerichtet mit dem Nötigsten, nicht sehr wohnlich.

Pros:

Отель рекомендую
1. Хозяйка и персонал ОЧЕНЬ радушные и делают ВСЁ, чтоб гостям было комфортно
2. Отличный большой двухкомнатный номер с кухонным уголком
3. Неплохой бассейн
4. Ближайший пляж очень хорош

Cons:

1. Номер с видом на бассейн одновременно выходит и на дорогу. Шумновато, не очень комфортно
2. Отель расположен в поселке - нет туристической инфраструктуры (сувенирные магазины, променад, рестораны и т.д.).
3. До пляжа 1,1 км под горку
4. Взимается дополнительный экологический сбор (5 евро за номер в день), информация о котором в бронировании отсутствует.

Pros:

Proximity to airport for a late arrival, facilities in the room and a very nice breakfast included.
We didnt use the pool but it looked very nice.
Very pleasant beach 10 minutes walk downhill.
Staff were very friendly and helpful.

Cons:

There is a good, although small, supermarket nearby but for a late arrival the nearest taverna is a 10 minute + walk downhill walk, longer to return, and no footpath on a quite busy road. Not great in the dark.
Taxi fare from airport was 35 euros. No public transport.

Consigliabile, pulito ampio spazi disponibili
Pros:

Pulizia, tranquillità, spazio disponibile.

Cons:

Gli spingiporta rendono rumorose le chiusure delle porte che sbattono quando di richiudono. La vicinanza alla base Nato, con frequenti sorvoli di jet militari..

A Perfect Stay 🩷
Pros:

I highly recommend the Waterlilly Hotel to everyone. The entire hotel is spotlessly clean. Ms. Angela is such a kind and lovely person, and all the staff are very friendly and welcoming. The breakfasts are varied and delicious, with both sweet and savory options, so I’m sure everyone will find something they enjoy. On our last day, we had to leave very early in the morning, before breakfast, and we were given sandwiches to take with us for our journey. It was such a lovely surprise 🩷🥰 We will remember our stay at this hotel very fondly. Thank you for making our visit so pleasant and enjoyable! 🫶🏻

Soggiorno fantastico e ospitalità indimenticabile!
Pros:

Soggiorno fantastico e ospitalità indimenticabile! Abbiamo trascorso un soggiorno davvero meraviglioso al Waterlily Hotel Apartments. gli appartamenti sono spaziosi, estremamente puliti e dotati di ogni comfort, inclusa una cucina attrezzata e un bellissimo balcone privato. La zona piscina è curata e piacevolissima, ideale per rilassarsi al rientro dalla vicina spiaggia di Kalathas. Nota di merito anche alla colazione, ricca e preparata con cura. Il vero punto di forza della struttura è però la gestione: un ringraziamento speciale va aD Angela, una persona splendida, di una gentilezza e una disponibilità d'altri tempi. Con il suo sorriso e la sua premura ti fa sentire subito a casa. Caldamente consigliato.
