The hotel, or better yet the resort has everything you need. The staff are super friendly and helpful. The village area is very nice and full of restaurants. ##### Rayan Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tracy Apr 22, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Lovely resort. Helpful and friendly staff, great rooms and overall facilities. I also had a spa treatment that was outstanding. We were grateful for the late check out and that the additional cost also included lunch. Can't wait to stay again! ##### Tracy Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Shailesh Apr 19, 2025 Liked: Staff & service, amenities Disliked: Cleanliness We stayed at Esperides Resort in Crete and found it to be a decent option with both pros and cons. The amenities were really nice, and the staff stood out for their friendliness and helpfulness—they went out of their way to assist with taxi and rental car arrangements, and even saved us dinner when we arrived late at night, which was much appreciated. The breakfast spread was also excellent, with a wide variety of options to start the day. However, the rooms were quite small, which made things feel a bit cramped, and we did experience some inconvenience from bugs or mosquitoes during our stay. Additionally, the toilet in our room didn’t flush properly, which was a bit frustrating. The location is relatively close to beaches and other attractions, but having a rental car is essential to get around comfortably. All in all, Esperides offers good service and amenities, but there’s room for improvement on the room comfort and upkeep. ##### Shailesh Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jan Hendrik Aug 10, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Top ##### Jan Hendrik Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Victoria Aug 7, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities It was a lovely welcome , the staff were friendly , always smiling and really happy which made us happy. From the moment we arrived, we didn’t need to push our luggage as there was a concierge to help us. We were welcome with a buggy ride up to the entrance which really made us feel special and greeted with a cold plate as we got in late and dinner had finished which was considerate of them. By the time we arrived to our room, the luggage was inside. The staff were always kind and asked if we were enjoying ourselves. The atmosphere was great, and calm even with families which was really appreciated . The scenery was lovely. We got given water melon and cold towels if we stayed over during the day rather than going out. The first room we stayed in was split level which we found interesting, the adults had their own private space therefore which was nice and cosy. There was a smaller pool where we stayed. We booked late and had to move rooms so stayed in this room for 2 days. They made the transition between rooms really easy and helped us with our luggage. Food was good. The snack/lunch at the bar was great and not too pricy. Loved the club ssndwich. Things to improve : Possibly the main pool where the kids are could do with more shading as it got very hot at the main pool. Drinks could be in a larger cup as we were given small tumblers and too much ice so that didn’t feel like we were getting a proper drink. Night entertainment could be planned a bit better ##### Victoria Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Roman Oct 14, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Sehr erholsamer ##### Roman Stayed 8 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Claudia Wilhelmina van Oct 4, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Schone kamers, mooi goed onderhouden complex.
