Amazing Cretan beach front resort
Pros:

From the moment you step foot on the property, you feel like royalty and are treated with such care. They provide you with a welcome drink that is nonalcoholic as well as some water and a cold towel to cool yourself off. You have a personalized check in person.

This made everything feel so much more personable. We went there to celebrate our anniversary and our room was given an upgrade with some special surprises in our suite. We were given a suite facing the ocean, which was amazing. We were also provided breakfast, which is by far the best breakfast I have ever seen at a hotel. Usually it is just some continental breakfast with some sad pieces of bread and apples/oranges. This had a little bit of everything for everyone and every dietary restriction.

From fresh jams and honey, to making your own oatmeal with quality items, an omelette station, as well as a lot of different fruits and pies, which is traditional for them for breakfast, including vegan options for me, which is very important. There is a lot of good restaurants nearby as well as eating at their property. And before we checked out, we were given a gift to take home. They also kindly allowed us to stay a little bit past check out to further enjoy our stay there.

The staff goes above and beyond to do whatever it is that you need to feel comfortable. now that we know what an amazing place this is we are looking forward to visiting their other locations around Greece.

A superb hotel
Pros:

This hotel thoroughly deserves a five star review. Beautifully located right on the seafront, it’s a stylish, modern and attractive development.

Everyone working there was incredibly attentive, courteous and helpful. It was probably the best customer service experience we’ve ever enjoyed in an up-market hotel.

An abundance of choice for breakfast which included some delightful pastries and cakes. Evening meals were ample, tasty and attractively presented. The menu gives guests the chance to enjoy some Greek specialities.

The library underneath reception was a quiet and comfortable place where guests can sample a wide range of snacks and complimentary soft and alcoholic drinks in the afternoon and early evening.

Our room was well-equipped, with a large double bed that reminded us of home.

There was no need to battle for sunbeds on the beach or by the pools as there were plenty to go round.

During one day of poor weather, we visited the charming old town of Chania which was only a €20 taxi ride from the hotel. It’s definitely worth a visit even it means having to drag yourself away for a few hours from the luxury of this hotel.

We would definitely come back here again if we choose to return to Crete for a holiday.

A beautiful hotel with amazing genuine hospitality.
Pros:

Often said a soul of a place is made from its staff and there is consistency across all departments of friendly personable and sincere colleagues.
The hotel is situated in a small bay approximately 10 minutes drive out of Chania old town. The hotel has a modern feel with accents of Greek charm.Its grounds rooms are spotless and maintained to a very high standard.
Breakfast- amazing excellent choice.Fresh and tasty.Dinner is à la carte and while there is a good selection there are daily specials added.So nice to have waiter service and not buffets which is more common even across 5 star hotels these days.
While I was told the hotel was 95/ occupied it never felt busy as plenty space across its 2 pools and many beds on the beach directly in front of the restaurant.
On my third day while walking on the beach I got stung be a bee on my lower foot.Not a pleasant experience however the staff were amazing and went out of there way to ensure I was looked after m. Every day numerous members came up genuine in their approach to ask how I was . Thank you for the care and the cream which took effect. I never thought a bee sting on a foot could be so painful!
I felt very relaxed and well looked after and would have no hesitation returning again very soon.
Thank you.

Exceptioneel
Pros:

De service en gastvrijheid van het personeel bevielen mij het meest; iedereen was erg vriendelijk en behulpzaam. Ook het restaurant was erg goed, met lekker eten en een fijne sfeer. Daarnaast waren de faciliteiten, zoals het strand en het zwembad, goed verzorgd en prettig om te gebruiken.

Cons:

Wat mij wat tegenviel, was dat er bij de beachbar en het achterste zwembad erg harde muziek werd gedraaid. Op zich is muziek natuurlijk prima, maar de stijl was niet altijd even rustig of passend bij de sfeer. Iets stijlvollere muziek, zoals jazz of lounge, zou naar mijn mening beter passen bij de omgeving.

Sehr komfortables Strandhotel mit teurem Wellness-Angebot
Pros:

Sehr großzügige, weitläufige Anlage mit zwei großen Pools und zahlreichen Liegen. Sehr freundliches, hilfsbereites Personal, gutes Essen, exzellentes Frühstück.

Cons:

Zu hohe Preise im Spa. Für ein Wellness-Hotel ungewöhnlich, dass man für den Innenpool und die Sauna einen Slot buchen und 25 EUR zahlen muss. Für 60 Minuten Massage werden 150 EUR berechnet. In einen 5-Sterne-Hotel in Chania haben wir kurz vorher 75 EUR für 50 Minuten gezahlt.

An Unforgettable Stay with Exceptional Service
Pros:

What an amazing stay! The food was delicious, the staff were incredible—special thanks to the General Manager, Panagiotis, for his outstanding attention to detail. The views were stunning, and the rooms were bright, spacious, and modern. I’d definitely love to come back!

It’s a beautiful place , right on the water. Lots around to do and good restaurants
Pros:

The location was very good. Walk right down to the beautiful beach. Walk to lots of restaurants and some shops. Lots of small grocery stores so you don’t have to pay the super high prices for hotel food and wine. Liked the rooms outdoor space. Made the very small room a lot more livable.

Cons:

The room was very small. We had a deluxe sweet but wasn’t deluxe enough for me. I would have liked a comfortable place to sit down inside the unit besides the bed.
I didn’t think the service was very good,,,,maybe because we were early October so folks were not motivated. Asked for ice one day, didn’t get it. Went to the outdoor bar one day, 4 bar workers behind a wall, bs’ing with each other while we sat a long time empty drinks wanting to order another.

Had a plunge pool in our room,,, very cold. Outdoor pools, very cold.

Good, but a little disappointing!
Pros:

We (a couple) have stayed at many wonderful 5* hotels around the world over the years. Unfortunately, we’re s little disappointed by this one. There are lots of good points. The staff are warm, helpful, friendly and welcoming, the place is spotless, the food is good and the pool areas are lovely. We especially appreciate the quiet pool area. So 3* means good (rather than very good, or fabulous). Unfortunately, there is no sound proofing in the rooms. We had noisy neighbours (on one side noisy until 4am), so our space wan’t very restful. We found the terrace furniture uncomfortable. The spa area with a lovely pool, sauna and steam room is great, but they limit guests to 30 minutes a day. That feels very rushed and the experience isn’t conducive to clock watching. Although the food is good, there is only one very small restaurant and choice is limited, especially for vegetarians like us. There are few plants and no trees. In the time we’ve been here, we haven’t seen, or heard a single bird. Last year we stayed at the Domes Zeen a short distance away. It’s a much better hotel. Lots of beautiful plants, a much better restaurant, equally lovely staff and quiet room. The downside there is that the pool is unheated, so far too cold to use in October. It’s also not adult only.

Luxury Meets Kindness — Hoping for Better Care for the Cats
Pros:

Domes Noruz Boutique Resort is a beautiful property located in a serene bay beside a public beach. The resort’s design and ambience create a relaxing and luxurious atmosphere. The staff are exceptional — friendly, attentive, and always going above and beyond to make your stay more enjoyable.

The spa experience was outstanding. I had one of the best massages from Thanos, a skilled physiotherapist who truly understands muscle structure and stretching techniques to relieve tension. I only wish I had gone to the spa sooner.

However, one concern during my stay was the condition of the resident cats on the property. While it’s common for hotels in Greece to have resident cats that are well cared for, the ones at Domes Noruz appeared sick and undernourished. Many guests were feeding them because they were clearly hungry and ill. It was heartbreaking to see them drinking from roof drain gutters when a veterinary office is located just down the street. I truly hope the management takes steps to provide food, water, and basic care for these animals.

Aside from this, the resort’s location is ideal — just a short taxi ride from Chania’s beautiful Old Town.

Amazing hotel and lovely sandy beach
Pros:

The hotel is beautiful! It has a decent size but feels like we are in a boutique hotel. Never crowded or noisy. Service was excellent.
Super clean and beautifully decorated.
The beach is lovely, sandy and calm and just a few steps away from the hotel what's really convenient.
There are several restaurants around the hotel and it's only 13min by car to Chania old town.
The pools are amazing, but cold. Also the private plunge in the room was too cold.
The bathroom was small and with no shelves to put our toiletries. The shower had only a small curtain protecting it and water was going everywhere.
Spa was beautiful but only 30 min access included per day.
Breakfast was varied and delicious!
Drinks are expensive.
Overall an amazing place in a great location with a perfect set up for a relaxed beach holiday. Highly recommended!
