Anemos Luxury Grand Resort

Anemos review A clean and tranquil hotel with a lovely beach, but what really made the difference was the staff. Resort well maintained They work so hard in the summer heat. Always smiling, always professional. Housekeeping Excellent, spotless. Room magically cleaned whenever we left Maestro restaurant Definitely our favourite lunch spot, staff couldn't do enough for us. Everyone was just outstanding but Evanthia managed to stand out in this excellent team. All inclusive on last day Other reviews mentioned it wasn't all inclusive on the last day. Which is odd compared to other 5 star resorts. You actually get a voucher to cover your last meal. Although we weren't told about this and offered to pay, Evanthia wouldn't take it and called reception to sort out. This nice touch and the wonderful week we had made us decide to book Anemos for our break next year. Thank you Evanthia. Note to management just include all inclusive for the last day few hours between checkout and airport departure. Food and wine I love Greek wine and we did not have a bad one - the food was varied and tasty. We had the odd dish we didn't like but 90% food was lovely. Got all our a la carte bookings by visiting guest relations on first morning. Things like fillet steak and some seafood dishes were an extra charge but that's standard in most places. Delicious fresh coffee and fresh orange juice poured for us at breakfast. One of the waiters (tattooed) remembered one of us had almond milk. Getting around the resort I prefer walking took me 10 min to walk the length of the resort, but there were golf carts everywhere. Beach Sandy and beautiful, gradual depth increase. 3 min walk in well maintained underpass, but again golf buggies. Downside waiter service a little slow, hard to get their attention. Sirocco beach restaurant Lovely restaurant on beach for lunch/dinner. Lunch did not have to book. Dinner is a la carte. Entertainment was excellent

A wonderful resort, with an amazing sea view and a very kind personel. The rooms are big, equipped with everything you may need and very clean. The beach is with fine sand. The transfer from the hotel to the beach is made with golf cars. It is really a place where it is worth to come back.

The staff at this resort were exemplary. Always friendly and helpful, always smiling regardless of the time of day it was or how many hours they had been on shift. Rooms were of a high standard and kept spotless by great cleaning staff. Food was good if a little cold but that can’t be helped when the hotel is catering for so many guests (600+). Would highly recommend to everyone.

We were very pleasantly surprised by the way they took care of us right upon our late arrival. The feeling was: 'now you are ours and we will take care of you'. Most of the staff strive to do their jobs to the best of their ability and are friendly. The resort is very well located with a beautiful, spacious beach. Carts constantly run through the large and well-maintained resort or to the beach, so you don’t have to walk much. We were lucky to have a beautiful room with a view of the sea and surroundings. The food options are varied and absolutely excellent. Everyone can find something to their taste. Children are also well taken care of. The kids' mini club is staffed by wonderful ladies who the children immediately fall in love with. We also appreciated the quality and reliable car rental right in the resort, which allowed us to explore the beauties of Crete. The negatives are mostly minor (a broken sunbed by the pool, occasional trash between the sunbeds on the beach). Overall, this has been our most beautiful seaside stay yet. We will definitely return to this pleasant resort someday.

We have had a lovely relaxing holiday here, hard to fault anything. The best part was the level of service from fantastic staff members. There seem to be plenty of friendly helpful staff in all areas, things seem to work almost effortlessly. Food in the main buffet restaurant, Meltemi, was really good; lots of variety, different choices each day, all seemed freshly prepared and well presented. Desserts were particularly good. Of the specialty restaurants, The Greek one, Maestro Vento, and the grill, Osteria, were really good. The Italian, Laventes, was ok but the staff rushed us too much. The fish restaurant, Sirocco, was a disappointment; the dishes in the evening were very imaginative but most lacked flavour. The lunchtime choice there was quite limited. All inclusive worked well. The room was lovely and kept very clean. It had a good sized balcony with sea view, and a lovely bathroom with bath and shower. The hotel is really well designed and laid out, it always felt relaxed and never crowded. There were always loungers available at the beach and round the pool. There were always seats free in the bars and restaurants. The setting is fantastic; the beach is very long and very sandy. The backdrop of the mountains in beautiful. The only thing we didn’t like was that guests were allowed to smoke indoors, including in restaurants. As non smokers this does affect our enjoyment of a meal. Some of the sun loungers need repairing or replacing.

We have recently returned from this wonderful hotel and would not hesitate to return! The level of customer service is outstanding, the resort, gardens and pools are beautiful and maintained to a very high standard, the dining experiences were excellent (particularly the a la carte) and the cocktails first class. Our room was very well equipped with good quality toiletries, nespresso machine, fridge and gowns and was cleaned immacutely every day by the delightful Maria. Nothing was too much trouble. We would highly recommend! Thank you to the whole Anemos team for looking after us so well.

Myself and my husband are just back from honeymoon we stayed in the anemos luxury grand resort. All I can say is we had the most amazing time the resort is absolutely out of this world. Everything you need or want is on site. The resort is spotless The staff are amazing such lovely people. Food is top class a little different but was so nice to try different things. We had such a lovely relaxing time we visited the spa while we were there also which was fabulous and so enjoyable. We can not wait to return and would recommend this absolutely fabulous resort to anyone. Thank you for making our honeymoon so magical

Amazing resort, great food, fantastic location to visit sights of Crete. Beach is sandy and better than most in Crete. Hotel entertainment is varied and caters for different interests. Most staff are friendly, courteous and professional, although a few could take a course on effective polite, friendly communication. They seem to be task driven and not in the moment in the presence of hotel guests. Guests are on a paid holiday to escape life at home after all!

The staff are exceedingly attentive and friendly. The rooms and surroundings are very well kept. In the mornings we were greeted by friendly maintenance staff working in all parts of the hotel complex. We ate in the buffet restaurant and we were fully satisfied by the quality and variety of dishes. The nearby beach is part of a long, sandy stretch of coastline that offers lovely views.
