From the moment we arrived we were treated so well & made to feel very welcome by the wonderful Chrysoula. Honestly couldn’t have been a better start. Chrysoula ensured we were given all the information we needed & explained everything regarding booking meals in the evening, pool towels etc. It was lovely to receive a welcome drink too, very much appreciated. Our room was lovely & we could see the sea in the distance. It was tastefully decorated & had everything we could have wanted. Service everywhere was perfect, so helpful & welcoming. Grounds were lovely as well. Food in the restaurants was lovely. The buffet at breakfast & dinner was super with lots of choice. The speciality restaurants were excellent, great service & food. Love the way it’s done meze style so we could try lots of different dishes that we might not have ordered otherwise. We were half board but will probably look to come back all inclusive on our return. We had wanted to get out & about so felt half board was right for us on this occasion. I would not hesitate to recommend this wonderful hotel. It’s not often we can say our holiday was faultless but it really was & we thank you for making our week with you so special.

The hotel was beyond expectations. Easy check-in in, and the restaurant was still opened, although we have arrived at midnight. We got an amazing room close to reception/restaurants and beach and we enjoyed the electric car ride/buggy to the beach. You could find at any time sunchairs available at the beach ( peaceful place and protected area). The food was amazing and varied both in the main restaurant and a la carte restaurants. Nice playground area and friendly stuff. The train station to Lake Kournas was right at the front of the hotel.
We had a lovely week at Anemos. I booked an all inclusive stay through Onthebeach, based on the Tripadvisor reviews. I booked a garden view room and contacted the hotel to upgrade to a sea view suite at a small extra cost per day, which they were happy to accommodate and responded quickly and efficiently to my enquiry. Travel from Chania was around 1 hour in a private taxi. Everything was explained well on arrival. We were very pleased with our room, and had no issues. The cleaning team were fantastic and the mini-bar was restocked daily. The resort is very clean and there are plenty of sun beds at any time of the day. The children’s pool is separate from the main pool. The beach is a short walk via a tunnel under the main road and was lovely with a fantastic bar and restaurant. Golf buggies are easily available if you don’t want to walk around the resort. The gym was great. The evening buffet was fantastic with amazing variety, something for everyone. The planning that must go into providing a buffet three times per day for 800+ people is mind blowing. Kudos to the catering team. The only thing that we noticed was that it took some time to get drinks at the buffet restaurant, not a huge deal - the staff are clearly busy and there are a lot of new staff who are finding their feet, but that was an area that could be improved a bit. We ate at one of the speciality restaurants which was lovely, we heard good things from other guests about the other restaurants. The cocktail bar was fantastic. Evening entertainment good but finishes quite early, presumably due to the close proximity of some hotel rooms to the stage. The cocktail bar was open until after midnight. We were there to relax and not do too much, and had a lovely week. If you want to do day trips, there are plenty of places easily accessible from the hotel. The all inclusive element we felt was good value, very few things not included e.g more expensive spirits and branded ice creams at the pool. Would highly recommend for a relaxing week in lovely surroundings.
My wife and I had onecof the best holdays we ever had.the hotel resort had everything to make our holiday relaxing.the facilites were excellent. The staff very helpful and friendly, they went outbof their way to help. The food choice was ecellent in taste and presentation. The hotels beach was fantatic. The mountain scenery in the background was beautiful and is the perfect photo backdrop. I have already told family and friends its a plce to go to
Everyone friendly, hotel well maintained, lots of sunbeds,good water slides for the kids .and several large pools . Food selection very good ,for choice and for variations ,cakes very nice hehe. Quiet place entertainment stops at 10 ,not for young more for couples.
The best service and Food . We will always come back to Stelios for dinner, he is very professional and a true host. The team at Stelios makes all guests happy on the beach Thank you
This was surely the best hotel I’ve/we’ve stayed at. The food was great, even the buffet..that can be a bit boring sometimes..but not here. The service was superb. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The only thing I can “complain” absolut was that the pillows were a bit hard but just ask for softer pillows and they will be delivered. The pool area was clean and the two pool bars served good food and nice drinks. As always, when getting all inclusive drinks you don’t get the best brands but who cares when you can order as many as you want! The beach was very nice with nice sand and sun beds free of charge..and of course..a beach bar with the same great service as the pool bars. I highly recommend Anemos for anyone who wants an experience with that extra that makes your vacation worthwhile.
This was a 5 star hotel and this definitely was 5 star. What do you want in a hotel? I want t to look exactly as it does in the pictures and it did. It was very clean. The food was excellent. The staff were so helpful. Now this building may put people off because it’s like a little village but the transport throughout it was done in a golf buggy. You just picked up a phone and call reception.They take you to the beach if it’s a family buckets ,the beach is on the other side of the road. So there is a tunnel which you can walk or go on the golf buggy. I would recommend this hotel . There is a small village near by u can walk or reception will phone a taxi 6 euro to get into village, brilliant service
It's an amazing place where the people are nice, the food is fantastic and the views of the sea and mountains are beautiful. You'll never want to leave!
Η φιλοξενία όλου του προσωπικού ήταν συγκινητική! Μακάρι να ήταν όλα τα ξενοδοχεία τέτοιου επιπέδου όπως το Anemos resort! Συγχαρητήρια σε όλους!!! -
All inclusive booking; Overall, it was a relaxing experience — beautiful setting, great food and drinks, and nice & safe access to the beach and pools. Loved the a la carte restaurants. However, the WiFi was a bit unreliable at times, and the evening entertainment felt a bit plain for a 5-star rating and bedrooms, a bit smaller than expected. Still, it was a nice break and enjoyable overall, also friendly and helpful staff.
The hotel is laid out really well and attractively. More importantly it is spotlessly clean. The beach is easily accessible via a short walk or buggy ride though a connecting tunnel, It has plenty of comfortable sunbeds and a beach bar which also serves food, so no need to drag yourself back to the main hotel for lunch unless you want to. The pools are very good too, but we preferred the beach. The food in the self serve buffet was varied and of a high standard - certainly the best I have encountered. I would also recommend the a la carte themed restaurants too, especially the Greek. The staff are warm, friendly and helpful and I would particularly like to mention the bar manager and bar staff, the cooks, the cleaners and last but not least - Murphy at the beach bar. Thank you all for giving us a memorable and trouble free holiday.
We had the most amazing, relaxing time at Anemos for our honeymoon. The staff were all so friendly, the resort was spotless, food was amazing and varied and the location was superb. We went all inclusive and enjoyed food in the main restaurant as well as three a la carte meals (Greek, Italian and Asian). The range of drinks throughout the day and evening and various bars were excellent too. We loved taking the train to Lake Kourdas where we hired a pedalo, and we also went on a boat safari which was great fun. The location of the main pool away from the kids pool was great for us as just a couple, and we also liked the fact the activities were separate too. Would highly recommend Anemos, we had a fab time.
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!
Beautiful design, organized, amazing pools and areas for adults & kids.
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.
