Amazing hotel, impeccable service, excellent food. We stayed there for a week and enjoyed every moment. It's beautifully designed, well thought through and extremely good value for money. We had a room with the private pool and I highly recommend it - much more space and much more relaxing experience. I would definitely come back. Seafood restaurant was the only exception - pretentious but not very good. Meet & Grill restaurant was excellent and main restaurant has amazing variety, different food every evening, hard to stand the temptation.

A fantastic week's stay in this wonderful hotel where the staff greet you with a smile and cannot do enough for you. Great selection of food at breakfast and dinner with other restaurants available. The pool area is a delight and you have the option of the beach and beach bar across the road. The staff will even take you there and back on a golf cart. I cannot say enough positives about Anemos other than you must go and try for yourself.

This was our second 10 day visit to this beautiful hotel, and was just as good as the first. This time we had a swim up room and although the room was smaller than the last one it had all of the same amenities plus the benefit of a patio with sunbeds and a shaded area with patio furniture. The room itself had a comfy bed, plenty of storage and hangers, tea and coffee making facilities and ironing board with iron. The hairdryer was attached to the bathroom wall which for anyone with unruly hair like mine isn’t ideal so I always bring my own. The resort itself is beautiful and easy to get around as it is quite flat and has the option of a golf buggy for anyone that needs it. The beach is easily accessed through a tunnel under the road where there are plenty of sunbeds. I am far from a foody but have to say the variety of food is amazing, although at times not hot enough for my taste, however we find this to be a problem in every hotel buffet restaurant. We didn’t try the a La carte restaurants because the buffet is preferable for my husband who has had treatment for throat cancer, making some foods difficult for him to swallow. The staff are friendly and helpful, including the mother and daughter in the little clothes shop. Night time entertainment was really good, but as it’s held outdoors had to be cancelled one night because of bad weather. I would highly recommend this hotel and would like to return, but will give this some consideration due to the ever increasing visitors tax.

Just returned from a wonderful 10 day stay at the Anemos Luxury Gand Resourt. From the moment we stepped from the bus, I knew we had chosen the right resort for us. From the registration process, and welcome drink, to the moment we checked out, everything was first rate and the staff couldn't do enough for us. The kitchen team tried really hard ensuring there was a variety of food each day and that the same food was served repeatedly. Away from the buffet restaurant the other restaurants made for a welcome change, with the Asian and Italian restaurants being particular favourites. The beach is accessible via an underpass which can feel a little steep, but the hotel does run 'golf carts' between the hotel and beach for those who may struggle with the underpass. Once there the beach is lovely, well maintained, row after row of sunbeds and a fabulous beach bar which provides service to your sun longer, as long as you remember which number sun lounger you are on. The only thing I'd change would be the room, I booked a sea view, but the room had a better view of the waste water area than the sea and it did make sitting on the balcony rather unpleasant. In hindsight, I wish I'd booked a room with a pool, however, as we didn't spend too much time in the room, it didn't detract too much from the wonderful holiday.

Absolutely amazing hotel with fantastic staff in such a beautiful location! Perfect stay from start to finish and totally recommend!

It was my second time at this hotel because last year I simply felt I didn't have enough time to enjoy it! In my many years of traveling and having been many times to Greece and Crete I have never been to a hotel like Anemos - straight from your dreams! Starting with the architectural and interior design, through very friendly employees (with great memory, cause they have recognized me from my last year's trip!), fantastic food and wonderful beach Paralia Kourna! I fell in love with this slice of heaven so much that I have returned few weeks later to another hotel belonging to this chain - Mythos Palace. So I have 2 more of their hotels still to visit (I also recommend Pepper Sea Club Hotel). Anemos is everything you wish for during your holidays and more!

What a wonderful hotel,this is first impressions you would think it was the start of the season not the end.Everything was spotlessly clean everywhere you went , no rubbish left lurking could not fault this place at all.The staff all so very friendly be it chefs waitress service, management bar staff everyone was always happy to,help nothing was a problem.It is an excellent well run hotel, and this reflects on the team that run it, well done one and all. Food was plentiful as were the choices, my only criticism is the food could have been hotter especially the soup, but that said we still enjoyed it. The fridge in our room was replenished with drinks as and when needed, such a wonderful,choice to pick from.The cleaner was very good also in fact the whole team on your hotel are amazing and I thank you one and all for sharing this fantastic hotel.

Staff was fantastic very friendly ,room cleaned every day ,food was great lots of choices,location was great beach was lovely,absolutely great value for money will be staying again.very spacious room .took a couple of trips which was easy .6euros by cab to get into town .great hotel

We have returned from a week at this resort and had a fantastic time. We had a 2 bedroom suite with private pool and the pool was clean and heated. We ate at the Italian, Grill and Greek restaurants and they were all good. The cocktail bar is also a spectacular place. Gym we used every day and it had everything you need. The walk to the beach is 5 minutes via an underpass which saves you crossing the road. You can get a golf buggy to take you there. The fish restaurant is here on the beach. Life guard at beach Plenty of sun beds at pool and on beach. Buffett had a good choice for breakfast and dinner. We had room service which was timely and of good quality Kids splash park with slides a pool and crazy golf all together separate to main pool Selection of shops and a mini mart on sight. Supermarkets within walking distance.

Have just returned from a 10 day stay at the Anemos Hotel The food, facilities and service levels were excellent with just some minor criticism that food was often tepid on the hot buffet. Be warned that a basic amount of cutlery is initially laid on each table and if you want more, you have to ask a member of staff as there is none readily available. This was something I encountered in Tenerife earlier this year - it could perhaps be a common policy to deter theft. I was pleased to see stations offering freshly cooked pancakes (although these were very thick and heavy in consistency) and omelettes at breakfast. We enjoyed watching a wide variety of very professional shows at 9.15am each night. The hotel provided a cake on my friend's birthday as a thoughtful gesture. I also appreciated the rather nice complementary "beach bag" too. At the time of booking, we had been upgraded to a room with a sharing pool. I was impressed by the square footage outside our room in which we were able to relax on chairs and sun-loungers (pictured). Another generous gesture was the ample supplies of bottled water delivered each day. The beach towels were very luxurious. The provision of staff-driven buggies to carry luggage to/from rooms along with transporting guests to the beach via an tunnel was also welcomed! Staff were helpful and provided assistance whenever required to do so. One thing football fans would appreciate is a TV which shows live games - we asked but none were available. There is some minor roadworks immediately opposite the hotel which may mean finding bus stops to be a challenge. However, the buses run to Chania and Rethymno on an hourly basis. Also recommended is the train service to Lake Kournas and other attractions - there are two train stops outside the hotel. We stayed on a Half Board basis for which I was grateful - to have eaten at local restaurants would have involved taking a taxi. Expect to walk about 25 minutes to local shops and a supermarket. You would also need to hire a taxi to take you to Georgopolis. I had studied a lot of the hotel reviews before my holiday but nobody appeared to comment on what was a surprise at check-in. The Greek Government imposed an Environmental Tax as of this year and for which €15 is levied per room per night in 5-star accommodation (it is proportionally less in other types of accommodation). To be told that we had to pay €150 upon arrival was a shock but not as surprising that it had to be IN CASH. I saw no reference to this particular aspect when researching online. Our attention was however drawn to the two ATM's in Reception. We were in fact given some time to produce the funds and eventually paid this element of our bill upon check-out. I did wonder how guests who budget carefully and take no debit cards would fare! I believe that those who cannot produce what is arguably a fair amount of money may well be allowed to pay using a credit card but this policy remains untested! Overall, I wished my holiday had been 2 weeks rather than 10 days having enjoyed a very comfortable and relaxing stay.

Very nice week, friendly service. We had all inclusive, food and drinks were excellent. Weather was very nice the whole week we stayed there.

We had a fantastic holiday at the Anemos Luxury Grand Hotel in Crete. We had an arrival drink and very efficient check in, and had a room up grade as it was our anniversary. The food was exceptional and pool and beach very clean and tidy. We would definitely recommend this hotel and look forward to returning again soon!

Great experience as a first time visitor at Anemos. We felt welcome from we got picked up at the airport all the way through our stay and until we got dropped of at the airport a week later. Cleaning and service in general was superb. We will be back!!!

Everything was perfect, the staff was nice, the cleaning was great, the food was amazing! I can only praise it and recommend it to everyone.

Hi everyone! My partner and I stayed at Anemos Luxury Resort for a week and overall had a really enjoyable experience. Some of the positives: * Upgrade: Upon arrival we received a room upgrade, to a beautiful maisonette. It was spacious, clean, had a lovely balcony and extra space upstairs. * Cleanliness: The hotel and rooms were spotlessly clean throughout our stay. The decor was modern and housekeeping was thorough. * Location: It’s a 1-2 minute walk to the beach, which you can also get a buggy cart to. Here you can sunbathe and have a drink, go for a dip, or eat at the restaurant. You can hop on the bus to get to Rethymno town in 25 mins- we did this during our stay and would definitely recommend El Castello restaurant, or to Chania by bus in 45 mins. The bus goes from outside the hotel. You can also get a small train to Lake Kournas in 20 mins. There isn’t much around the hotel to get to by foot as it is a little secluded. * Buffet Variety: The buffet had a great variety that changed daily. * Sunbeds: there were many sunbeds; at the main pool as well as at the beach so you don’t need to worry about not being able to get a bed. What Could Be Improved: * Room Amenities: The TV had limited English channels (most were in German) a smart TV would have been appreciated for streaming. The mini bar was refilled everyday free of charge for all inclusive which was nice. However, as English guests, we would’ve appreciated more tea variety as there was only two English breakfast teas and nothing else. (You could request a variety at the buffet though). * Sea View Description: While we did have a sea view, it’s worth noting that it’s partial – there are buildings and a road between you and the actual shoreline. I will say the mountains in the background of the hotel are quite breathtaking though. * Staff Experience: While some staff members were warm and very attentive, shoutout in particular to Albion who was very friendly and made us feel welcome, a small handful, particularly in the main buffet area, seemed less enthusiastic. However, when asked for help they were very accomodating. You are always offered a drink while lounging inside or by the pool and are greeted with a smile around the hotel. * À La Carte Restaurants: The hotel advertises à la carte dining. A few of the restaurants, such as the Asian and the Greek, you receive every option on the menu, which can make it difficult if you’re a bit fussy or don’t have a massive appetite. The food itself was very good, we particularly enjoyed the Asian, just not quite what you might expect if you’re looking for a more formal à la carte or fine dining experience. I’d advise to book the À La Carte restaurants at the start of your stay so you don’t miss out. * Activities: there was a range of activities such as tennis, badminton, mini golf, pingpong etc. However, these closed at 6pm and you could not play past this time. Perhaps allowing guests access to this a bit later would be better. * Bathroom/Shower Pressure: The shower pressure was a bit weak, but still usable. Despite a few areas for improvement, which really are quite nit-picky, we had a lovely stay at Anemos. We’d definitely come back and would happily recommend it to others.

The Anemos Grand Hotel is good, but the Aegeon spa, located within the hotel, exceeds all expectations. Masseur Alexdros has such professional, expert, and medical knowledge, which is rare. You are in excellent hands at this spa, and especially with masseur Alexandros. Therefore, I can only recommend it.

Excellent hotel. Two bedroom family room with private pool 1/2 board. Staff pleasant and helpful throughout. Rooms spacious, quiet and private pool well worth the 3xtra cost. Food quality and choice in main buffet restaurant very good. Ate in three of the five speciality restaurants which we could not fault. Public areas extensive, clean and not crowded. Beach a short walk or golf cart ride away. Plenty of sunbeds there as well as a restaurant. All in all very pleased and impressed - we intend to return.

My wife and I visited Anemos for a week's break and honestly could have stayed there for another week. Upon arrival we were met by the customer relations team who booked us in very quickly and we were taken straight to our room which was spotless. The food both in the buffet and the al a carte restaurants was excellent we never struggled to find anything to eat, the only sttuggle was I couldn't try everything I would have liked (waistline restriction!!). The cocktail bar of an evening again out of this world, big shout out to Yorgos who makes the best cocktails. You habe to try the Spicy Tequila and Red Summer they are my new favourites. The hotel and beach are spotless with staff consitently cleaning throughout the day. This is definitely a 5 Star resort in every way, Service, Quality, Food and facilities. The only thing I would say is not 5 Star are the hotel staff, they deserve 10 Stars for the effort they put into making your stay memorable.

Beautiful hotel, we had a room with plunge pool which our daughter really enjoyed. This was our second year but if I’m honest the food wasn’t as good as the previous year. The meats were a little chewy and chicken skewers a little under cooked. Also it was much busier this time around, struggled to get a bed by the pool. We spent most of the time at the beach. Couldn’t fault the staff, they were all so friendly and helpful.

A unique experience for family holidays! Top quality accommodation and service in a beautiful part of Crete! Unforgettable dining experience with products and cuisine from all over Greece.
