We have just returned from a thoroughly enjoyable 10 days at Anemos where we stayed on half board basis. Upon arrival (quite late) we were given the brief check in and buggy ride to our room and offered a more comprehensive overview in the morning. The room was clean and modern with comfortable king bed and single next to it for our young daughter. The bathroom was well appointed and although the bath was without a plug, the shower was very pleasant, as was the cleaning lady who looked after us well. Breakfast buffet was plentiful, fresh and tasty and the attentive staff made sure orange juice and coffee was topped up. The buffet dinner was also excellent in terms of choice, flavour and temperature and, although quantity control was lacking on our part, provided healthy variety which was pleasing to see. The a la carte restaurants were also very good and it was nice to not have to choose, rather provided with a very plentiful taster menu. Whilst the resort was full, it never seemed busy, with numerous pools, catering to different requirements, splash park, main pools, private swim up rooms and next to the beach. The beach itself was fabulous, very clear, calm and shallow, with plenty of golden sand. A mention too for the mini disco which kept our daughter engaged each evening, and the follow-on entertainment which was a pleasant mix of acts - the mini club staff were brilliant. A most enjoyable family trip.

Loved our stay at Anemos! Our room was beautiful with great facilities, minibar, tv, safety deposit box, tea and coffee making, iron and ironing board, well equipped bathroom, cleaned daily with fresh towels! The hotel is spotless with 5 restaurants, plus main buffet restaurant to choose from, all outstanding! There’s a cocktail bar, pool and beach bar, crepes and icecream bar, mini market, good facilities for families though we didn’t use those and evening entertainment. The pool area is large with plenty of good quality sun beds, always clean. The sandy beach is stunning, once again spotless, with plenty of sun beds, beach bar, toilets which are also very clean, drinks etc are served to your sunbed. The beach is across the road from the hotel, a 5 minute walk through a tunnel under the road but the highlight for us was the beach shuttle service to the beach from your room or reception in a golf buggy running throughout the day! Thank you to ALL the team who were always really helpful, friendly, polite, nothing was too much trouble, delivering a great service!
Just returned home from a relaxing week at anemos. From the second we arrived we were made very welcome and treated very well, being asked to take a seat whilst being checked in. Little things make a huge difference. We were upgraded from a shared pool to a private pool. Not really a pool more of a plunge pool and whilst the location of the room was perfect, I’m not sure it was an upgrade. The gardens were massively overgrown around the pool and in fact around the whole hotel. The room was large and very comfortable with coffee and tea making facilities, gowns (although the cleaners took these away mid week for some reason) slippers and a beach bag. It always felt clean. Food and drink. I suppose this is personal choice, but we found the evening buffet quite difficult. Lots of meat but not great cuts, and for myself who doesn’t really like meat or chicken on the bone I struggled. The same applied for breakfast. Cold pre prepared poached eggs were not necessary and pastries were either burnt or under done. Show cooking wasn’t really a thing and in a 5 star hotel you expect that little bit better. However the lovely lady in the omelette hut saved the day. We didn’t do the buffet at lunch because we preferred to go to the beach and order from their menu with a cold beer served in a cold glass. A lovely place to go for lunch. A la cartes - the Italian was the only one where you could choose from a menu (maybe the Greek but we didn’t try this one). The others were set, and whilst the food was tasty (Asian in particular) it’s nice to have a choice when one doesn’t eat fish and the other doesn’t eat meat. Waffle and pancake bar - this place is amazing but prepare for a sugar coma. Pool bar- glasses were old and scratched and the drink was average. Beach bar - drinks lovely served in glasses. Lobby bar, drinks were rushed and poor in quality. Rooftop bar- the man serving drinks here is the best bartender at the resort, cocktails were amazing and this is by far the best place to spend the evening. Entertainment- whilst we didn’t sit and watch, we could hear it and in the whole week only one singer sounded quite good. The area feels safe. The little train that stops outside was well worth the money for both of the trips it offers. A taxi into geogiopolis was 6 euro each way and this small town is a must to visit. Quaint and traditional and not too expensive. I feel like I have left a negative review, this is not the case. We are already talking about a return because the small negatives were just that. Even when the hotel was full it didn’t feel that way, it wasn’t stressful, which can happen when you are fighting for beds or tables everyday. Here that doesn’t happen. Sunbeds are super comfy, pool area always spotlessly clean. It could maybe be made that the deeper of the two pools is made adults only in the main pool area but again this is just an observation.
I stayed here with my boyfriend for our first holiday together (& my first EVER adult all inclusive holiday!) & as soon as we arrived at the resort I was completely blown away. Our room was amazing (1213). The outside space was lovely with our own pool and comfy sun-beds. The bed was huge and the addition of the restocked mini bar added to the luxury feel. It was my birthday during our stay and the staff provided cake, wine and a card upon our arrival which really made us feel valued as guests. The hotel is really well designed and the layout is great. There is something for everyone here - couples and families - and at times we felt like we were in an adults only space with the clever design! I am a pescatarian and never felt the food options were limited - lots of choice! The staff were attentive and clearly work very hard to make sure everyone is having a good holiday. A few stand out staff members for us: Maria at Guest Services - Maria welcomed us as we arrived to the hotel and I knew straight away we had made the right choice to book here. She was very friendly and knowledgeable and always said hello as we saw her around the hotel. She was very helpful with information on the local train service if you wanted to explore outside of the resort and anything else we needed. Thank you Maria for making our experience so wonderful from the moment we arrived! Kostas at the Main Lobby Bar - Kostas was brilliant the entire of our stay. He always made sure to greet us when we sat down for an evening drink and provided a professional and friendly service. Kostas always has a smile on his face and even provided us with recommendations on places to visit nearby. He is a real asset to the team! Djamel in Quality Management - Djamel is fantastic at really getting you into the holiday spirit with his friendly nature. Nothing was too much trouble for Djamel if there was anything needed (we required a shower head change which Djamel sorted promptly) and always made sure we had a drink in our hand! He really made our holiday one to remember. 5 stars definitely deserved and we hope to come back!
One amazing holiday from start to finish.Where to start, this Hotel and ALL its staff were just perfect in every way.We were in room 6224 and from opening the door were blown away by how luxurious the room was.A huge bed and so so comfy.Choice of 2 pillows again perfect.Large bath with shower over it.Hot water was always available. His and hers sinks.Sea view and a lovely big balcony. There are plenty of sunbeds and lovely quality pool towels.Everywhere is spotless.The cleaners are about all day.Bar staff really look after you and the lovely Costas lights the room up with his smile
Just had a fabulous week at this hotel. Lots of positive aspects to it. Staff all very friendly and welcoming, can't mention them all but Costas in main bar stood out for one. Also particularly good are the pool area and the beach. Although I believe the hotel was full there was never a problem getting a nice sunbed by the main pool (even Bali beds often available). No early rush with towels required. Beach (which is a short walk or take the hotel electric buggy) also excellent with plenty of sunbeds. Be aware that the attractive looking Bali beds on the beach are often empty for a reason, there is a charge for these and it's very easy to miss the notice on the board by the entrance advising this. Room was spacious and well equipped although only one chair and limited table space. We'd upgraded to a (shared) swim up pool which gave us a nice sea-view balcony but as this was North facing there was not much sun unless you were actually in the water. The swim up pools vary considerably across the hotel and seem to be either North or South facing. Also some are quite private (like ours) while others are very visible to anyone walking past. Just depends on what you want but we spent most of the time on the beach or by the pool. Also be aware that the higher number rooms can be some way away from reception and most of the restaurants (and up hill). Not a major walk and you could get the buggy to take you if necessary but wouldn't have wanted to walk it too many times during the day. Food in the main buffet had a reasonable selection. I would say that we've had better selections of cold foods (salads, cold meat & cheese etc) in Spanish AIs but plenty of hot options available. There were Italian & Greek themed evening while we were there. Didn't see them advertised in advance so might be as well to ask before booking other options. Speciality restaurants are very good. On all inclusive get 3 evening meals in a week included at these. We went to Greek, Asian & seafood (in the beach restaurant) and enjoyed them all very much. Set menu with multiple courses and normally more than one item in each course so plenty of variety. We didn't try the other 2. Note that on AI there are several of them that are included for lunch as well, at the Greek restaurant can pick and choose to suit your hunger. Would certainly recommend going for all inclusive. It's a long walk or a taxi or bus ride to nearest towns (Kavros or Georgioupoli) for alternative bars/restaurants.
Breakfast was great. They had a wide variety of food selections and it was all pretty good. - A storm kind of messed with our stay a little bit. We had asked for early check in and ended up stuck in the lobby for hours. Due to the storm the swimming pool was also unavailable until our last day. We also were unable to make dinner reservations for 2 of our nights because everything booked so far out so that wasn’t amazing.
Die Anlage ist weitläufig. Das Personal war super nett. - - Das Büfett Restaurant hat irgendwie keinen Flair und ist sehr eng gestellt (während unseres Aufenthalt war das Wetter sehr schlecht, so dass die Außenbereiche weggefallen sind). -
Ein wundervolles Hotel, es bleiben in keiner Hinsicht Wünsche offen. Noch nie wurde ich in einem Hotel so herzlich empfangen. Mitarbeiter sind alle super freundlich und erwecken den Eindruck, dass man sich über alle Gäste freut. Rooms5.0Service5.0Location5.0 Hotel highlightsLuxury

Anemos really is a luxus hotel, the food was good we especially enjoyed the maestro and the sirocco restaurant. One star is missing because a lot from the staff aren’t that friendly. Some waiters were really rude, they didn’t say anything back when we said hello or thank you, they expected that you just know how everything works and didn’t explain anything to you, sometimes we had the feeling we were just lost and had to apologise for being there, but those who were friendly made it all better, like that waiter Roberto, or the friendly staff of the spa , the young receptionist with the red hair, the hostess in the main restaurant and the guy up at maestro. I am used to better service from other all incisive 5 star hotels, especially from the animation team and the staff. But the rooms were amazing and very clean, the cleaners sometimes came two times a day. What we thought was sad is that all inclusive isn’t “all inclusive”. For example you have to pay for the gazebos at the beach…or for the ice cream and some drinks. But the quality of the drinks is so much better than in other places. And that all Inclusive is granted to you till you leave is also nice. So it has its pro and cons. After all, I didn’t think this would be a hotel I would come back to, because for this price there are better options, but we can’t say it was bad like we would never recommend it.

l'hôtel est magnifique le personnel est aux petits soins nous avons passé un excellent séjour à l anemos. tout était vraiment parfait Merci à Djamel pour sa gentillesse et sa bonne humeur -
Nuostabiai graži teritorija, kambariai, tikrai prabangu. Personalas labai draugiškas, paslaugus, maisto pasirinkimas labai didelis, o skonis - neapsakomai geras. Kambarys buvo labai švarus. - - Pirmomis dienomis buvo nesklandumų dėl geriamo vandens pristatymo į kambarį, vėliau viskas buvo ištaisyta. Nepatiko kartais jaučiamas nemalonus kanalizacijos kvapas lauke, ypač jogos užsiėmimų metu, kai reikia dirbti su kvėpavimu. Kartais būdavo trukdžių su Wi-fi. Paskutinis autobusas iš Rethymno miesto atgal į viešbutį - 23h :( Taip pat labai nepatiko tai, kad suaugusiųjų baseine buvo leidžiama maudytis ir vaikams, jie nuolat triukšmavo ir nebuvo jokios ramybės toje vietoje. -
Hotel avec tres bon service client, chambre tout confort, activites et repas tres diversifies et bonne qualité
