Azul Eco Hotel

Beautiful friendly place . Clean, rooms fragrant, cosy. Pools, bar, landscape like a fairy tale. Large selection of food . Everywhere close. Staff very helpful . And in particular Mrs. Konstantin. The smile it exudes and the desire to help are even indescribable . Such a person in the team is a treasure!

Definitely doesn't deserve 4 stars, food not tasty very plain. Animations for children do not exist In this hotel also forget about evening attractions for Adults. Drinks full of sugar with cheap alcohol. During the day your kid’s definitely became hungry because in the snack bar you will get only something what they call hotdogs in this hotel( plain roll with sausage, leftovers from breakfast) It's not worth to buy all inclusive plus, it only gives you a free plastic deckchair on a dirty beach. Plus for the slides, new and clean, but next to them the smell was awful like in the public toilets. Thanks to the nice waitress who recommended us a local tavern Ilios, thanks to her we weren't hungry and we tasted real Greek cuisine

The Azul eco hotel? A scam disguised as a 4-star hotel that perhaps deserves half a star, if we are generous. Their all-inclusive formula is a joke: anything above survival level is charged separately, even snacks, which are nothing but the stale scraps from breakfast. The food? We were guilty of believing it, but it was like an insult: if we hadn't had the decency to escape to local restaurants, we might have thought Greek cuisine was punishing. And the staff? As for the waiters, most of them were nonexistent, during the day they were on the phone, while in the evening they were busy stealing food from the buffet by sneaking it into their mouths with their hands, while the cook ate directly from the plate where the food was cooked. The location of the hotel is ridiculous: lost in a hole of nothingness, far from anything useful. And the beach? Do you think it's included? Fools, it will cost you that too. In short, Crete is a paradise, but this hotel is a catastrophic mistake that we would like to erase from our existence.

The staff and Cristos were great ! We had a really good time The rooms were nice and very clean Everything was perfect : Food, the beach , the personnel, the pools with the slide for children, and the animation ( not enough sadly), the location (20-30 minutes by bus from Rethymno) … Thanks for this stay we’ll be back

Small rooms, bathrooms not clean, all-inclusive food not tasty, drinks too sweet, noise in the corridors late at night. Your plate is taken from the table before you've finished eating. Absolutely not a hotel for 4****. In the swimming pools small children with props (balls, water mattresses, etc). I would not choose this hotel again. Disappointing.

I recommend this place, it is amazing! We have received a nice and clean room with a terrace where we have spend our evenings watching the sunset. It was so calm and lovely. The staff was always so nice, the food was good and various, we have ate the best veal, seafood and the pizza on greek pita bread was so delicious. We had a special "guest" visiting us, a cat that we have spent a lot of time with, we called her Greta from Creta, we already miss her. Azul you were amazing, thank you ❤️

As a family we have been coming to Crete for many years. I also like to write my reviews towards the end of our holiday whilst things are still fresh in our memory. Firstly, the Noho hotel is also known as Azul due to recently being taken over. And that probably accounts for so few reviews, along with the fact it is not a traditionally 'English catering' hotel'. There are.some English here, but not a lot. So any entertainment is directed to multicultural couples or Greek. Most of the staff have a decent level of English, particularly those in reception. All the staff have been hard working and attentive to our needs (which are few). Having been regular all inclusive patrons in Greece we know what to expect. And Azul is not much different. You do get a lot of value for your money. The food is of a decent all-inclusive standard with plenty of choice. Fresh fruit and salad every meal and a choice of meats, pasta and potatos. Drinks are locally produced alcohol (beer, wines and spirits) and they also make cocktails. After a few days you will notice a repetition in meals but this is standard for Greece. There is a 24 hour reception. Our flight was delayed so we arrived at 3.00am. No restaurants or bars open at that time but the hotel kindly left us a snack and bottles of water in room. There is also a supply of tea and coffee in room. Air conditioning is a blessing at night as is the fridge. The safe in each room is also free. The furniture and fittings are of a higher quality than previous ,3 star hotels we have stopped in. The showers are heaven. The rest of the room is minimalistic but pleasant. The pools are pleasant and not overly busy. A big plus here is the free slides. They are not used much but fun for both adults and kids. They are watched over by guard who unobtrusively makes sure you are following rules. But if you are used to Greece, you will know that things will never be perfect by our standards. Around the hotel on an evening time you do get a 'waft' of sewerage. But this is common in Greek hotels and not overpowering. The five star hotel opposite has the same issue. The hotel bars also ran out of wine and a 5 minute wait ends up being 2 hours. And a big issue this year is mosquitos. Not much the hotel could do about this one so it is down to you to bring protection. There are 2 shops within a minute walk from hotel which will cater for your needs. You will pay tourist prices here so if you are on a budget, pack it in your case. There is also a pleasant beach a couple of minutes walk. If you buy a drink at the beach bar, you can have free sunbeds. As we love swimming in the sea we really enjoyed this. We came to Scaleta last year so know the location. It is quiet with a couple of bars. There are nice stretches of beaches, nice hotels but otherwise very quiet. It is a place for relaxing as is Azul. But the buses are regular if you want to go to the bigger towns and cheap. But probably not the place for parties. Ideal for couples and f

Me and my family had a good experience with this hotel! The room was clean and modern, the staff cleaned the room every day. The staff from the reception was really frendly and helpful, they answer to all the question with a smile on their face. The food was good but we found some plates that wasn’t really good cleaned, but It wasn’t a lot of them, we found just 2 plates in a a week. Both pools are well maintained, the slides are perfect for the children but not only, we had a good time on them! Not a really good thing is that you have to cross the road to get to the beach, but there is an employee who drives you to the beach. Overall we had a good experience and we strongly recomand It!!

Booked this for myself and my daughter we just wanted to chill and that's just what we was able to do. Very laid back and chilled out place all the staff was helpful and looked like they actually enjoyed going to work they are a credit to this hotel. Food was nice not loads of choice but whatever was served was really nice and we always found something,nice atmosphere in the restaurant and not packed with people.We spent all our days on the beach the hotel beds are the wooden one to the left, if you buy a drink beds are free all day we left towels on and went for dinner and returned,Beds are 2.50 euros each but we just bought two water for 5 euros then we had water and beds ,the free drinks are fizzy drinks coffee/tea and I think larger ,the blue beds past the wooden ones are the hotels and the same price. You can get the bus outside the large hotel to the little town you buy tickets for it in the supermarket 2 euros ask for coming back also and that's another 2 euros,think it's 22 euros if you want a taxi ,nothing in the area of the hotel apart from two shops we was ok with this they had everything we wanted at reasonable prices.The hotel has two pools and another with slides and a little park bit ,it was never full around the pools I was amazed I have never seen this before.In all we had a very pleasant stay if you just want to wind down and chill then this is the place for you. Would I come back I most definitely would .
