We had a very relaxing stay here! The hotel is quiet and family-friendly, exactly what we were looking for. While it’s an older building, everything was spotless and well-maintained. The staff were all very kind and helpful throughout our stay. We booked a superior room and it was worth the small upgrade for the extra comfort. The all-inclusive was basic but good – fresh food and surprisingly nice drinks for this price range. Definitely a good value for money!

Lovely Rooms and a Peaceful Atmosphere.The rooms were spacious, clean, and had everything needed for a comfortable stay. I had a balcony with a great view of the pool, which was a nice bonus. It’s the perfect place to unwind after a day of exploring Crete.

We stayed at Despo Hotel for a week and were really impressed with the overall experience. The hotel offers great value for money, with clean, comfortable rooms, a great pool area, and a lovely garden. The beach is a short walk away, and there are plenty of places to eat nearby. Would definitely recommend!

I honestly don't know where to start. We arrived early morning the back of 1am. Got checked in and given our key. Went to the room and opened the door. Well the bathroom was dirty. The sink hadn't been cleaned or the taps silicone round shower tray was black and there was a crack in the shower tray. Bed sheet all marked and pillows all lumpy. So went to reception to speak to the guy and told him I wasn't happy with the room. It was very old and it was right at the back door so when back door was open which was 24/7 you didn't have access into your room unless you closed it all the time. So the guy at reception said he couldn't do anything about it and that I would have to speak to someone on reception in the morning whi h I did. To cur a long story short. I kept getting passed to different ppl about it and none seem to do anything about it. No manager on at weekend so had to wait till Monday. Finally got a room change it was a little better. But then you don't get told that you have to pay 8 euros a day for aircon. Considering i was all inclusive . Then the buffet for the meals was very basic. Hardly any variety of food. Same stuff each day. The drinks were like watered down cola flat not fizzy. Beer the same. Then they Dont tell you that you have to pay for brand makes of alcohol and after a certain time at night you have to pay for drink. Then no entertainment for kids at night. They get chased out the pool at 7pm. You never get told that they have snacks behind the bar. Throughout the day. The bar man George is very rude always grumpy. If want to go out of the hotel to cross the road you have to cross the motorway. Nothing close to hotel to do. Would never go back. Very disappointed standard's are very poor. When we were leaving we asked if there was a shower room we could use to wash and changed before catching the coach. Tey told us sorry just the toilets downstairs they have a shower when I went down the shower tray was full of sand and water not running away.
