Kalimera Kriti Hotel & Village Resort

מקום גדול,מטופח , הרבה פעילויות

The spa, the gym, the beach the pools and the staff

Spacious, beautiful, very clean and tidy, nice style

We loved the hotel's location, views, and the beach. It's a beautiful hotel that is seamlessly integrated with nature and the mountains. The property is quite spacious, so it never feels crowded. It’s great for kids as there are plenty of activities available. The tennis courts are amazing! The staff were all very nice.

Ruime kamer met zeezicht.
Lekker eten.
Schoon, na de Sahara regens netjes schoongemaakt

I had 2 massages at Aegeo spas. Kallia gives very good massages in a beautiful atmosphere.

Jedzenie ogólnie było dobre, nie jakieś wybitne, ale mi się podobało
Korty i rakiety są całkiem dobre.

The breakfast was excellent.

The hotel is great! The food is good, everything is very clean, and the staff are friendly. The spa area is also highly recommended. I had a back and neck massage with Chrysa and it was fantastic. She knew exactly what she was doing and it was very pleasant.

Excellent service and care with a delighfully relaxing experience. Breakfast and the evening meal buffet options were the perfect bookends to each day.

Stayed here for Viva Crete salsa holiday. A beautiful venue. We booked a room with a view of the water and were absolutely not disappointed with this, especially when the sun was setting. The room itself was fine other than the shower. There was a bath with shower head, but the only place to put the shower was on the far wall, so directing water at yourself without it spraying all over the bathroom was difficult. The resort is huge, so bring comfy shoes! Good food, other than the wasp filled honey bowls in the morning!

Everything was perfect! The food the rooms and the staff were simply great

I can really recommend this place. I had a sports massage with Chrysa, and it was excellent. She adjusted the pressure perfectly — firm and effective, just as a proper sports massage should be — yet still very relaxing. Very professional and pleasant atmosphere. I’d definitely come back!

Kalimera Kriti Hotell & Resort just outside the little town Sissi on the North East side of Crete is a paradise. With its unique architeture built like a small greek village with lots of trees and flowers Kalimera Kriti is by far one of the most beatiful hotels in Crete. In addition a friendly staff always at your service make a stay at Kalimera Kriti to a perfect vacation for everyone even families with small children. Especially we would like to thank Athina, Despina and Aldrin, Nikki and Marwin for excellent service during breakfast and dinner. The food, vegetables, fish, meat, cheese, fruit and desserts are excellent with a selection that should make it possible for everyone, even the youngest, to be satisfied.
A lot of space for everyone in and around the pools for adults and children. This time we preferred to stay at one of the spacious beaches, also convenient for families, were we could enjoy the sun and bathing.
Thank you all staff at Kalimera Kriti for this visit and see you again next year.

I am going to write an honest review and be objective and non-bias as possible. Don't believe all the good reviews you read on here because many of them are bias, especially the good ones and how good the masseuse was (probably written by the masseuses themselves in order to increase the bookings for a massage in the spa). The tennis center right by the hotel is owned by Germans who work there so they are also probably the ones who keep adding good reviews about the hotel. Always look and pay extra attention to negative reviews.
First, Crete is way, way, overrated. From my experience the inhabitants of the island don't understand English well enough, and they are not service-oriented. All the beaches and most of the hotels are very mediocre. My previous vacation in Antalya, Turkey, was much better .
Relative to other hotels in Crete, Kalimera Kriti hotel has many advantages and it is one of the better hotels you are going to find in Crete, because it is a small, isolated hotel on a very large area, with a nice private beach, and nice view of the mountains. There is also a very big tennis center, with many clay courts that are well maintained, and some artificial grass courts.
They put me in Room H-109 the first few nights, but it was very noisy. The rooms in general are badly insulated in terms of acoustics. I could hardly sleep at night and there are also no blackout curtains. The white coating in the bathtub itself was peeling off and produced sharp scrapes , so I asked for a room change. It took them 2 nights to change me to another room. They transferred me to room M-34 which has no Wi-Fi reception, and even though I complained that there is no Wi-Fi at all in my room they never fixed it. I wasn't trying to be a "KAREN" but there were some serious issues with the rooms, but they refused to let me speak with the manager, so good luck with that…
The food was generally good- especially the breads, the baked-on-the-spot individual pizzas, and the desserts. I suspect that some of the fish and seafood were previously frozen and not fresh, because the octopus was too salty and so were the striped red mullets. Some of the shrimps may had been frozen shrimps that come from Southeast Asia (China/Vietnam) and not from the Mediterranean. I was there 5 nights, and unfortunately, they had carvery roast beef on only 1 night. I didn't eat the soups, even though I love soups, because they seemed to be made from recycled meat and/or vegetables from last night's dinner. The milk in breakfast was the ULTRA-pasteurized processed kind that has a shelf life of like 4 months so I didn't touch it even though I love a glass or two of fresh milk in the morning.
Almost all the guests in the hotel were Germans, which is plus, because Germans are generally polite and quiet. They rely on that their German guests recommend to other Germans about the hotel, so if you are not German, the hotel staff may treat you as a second-class (Grade B) guest, so beware of that. Council tax in the hotel is 15 Euros per night, and you must buy bottled water because there are no standing water dispensers or electric water coolers, at all. Booking a tennis court or even going to the gym is with a charge. They have a very big and long swimming pool, but it has no lanes or dark blue marking on its bottom floor, so one cannot swim laps in an adequate way, which is a shame, because I brought all my swimming gear with me.

I recently had a full body massage and face cleansing procedure at Aegeospas, and I’m very satisfied with the experience. Ladies offering these service Chrysa and Marina both were such sinshines: professionall, friendly, attentive, and provided great care throughout the session,adivices, calmness, pati3nce.
The rooms were clean and comfortable, there was no waiting time, and I have also received a lot of useful advice and explanations. I felt truly rejuvenated afterward and appreciated the discount.
Thank you for the wonderful service!

A disappointing stay at the Kalimera Kriti Hotel and Village Resort, a supposedly 5* complex.

Will start with the positives:
Beautiful Greek village setting
Great 50m pool
Nice adult only pool
Plenty of sunbeds
Nice beaches
Friendly life guard and older gentleman at the beach bar
24/7 gym with a price

Negatives:
Disappointing room A145, would give this room a 2* at a push, grubby and outdated, floors never looked clean, bathroom towels grubby even after change and the bed never looked made or bed clothes changed
The clientele of 800+ are mainly German which are catered for with signage and entertainment
Food is mass produced and cold
Staff are rushed of their feet and come across as unfriendly
At dinner the only drinks on offer (for payment of course) is beer or bottled wine, if you don’t like these choices, tough!!

Sisi is a lovely place and much better to visit than staying in the village resort, friendly locals with nice food and drink options. 20 minute road walk from the hotel or a nice walk across the beach and rocks or €7 in a taxi.
To Malia by taxi €20 or €25 (depending on taxi driver) – old town nice for food
