Almyrida Resort

We have just got back from a lovely 10 day stay at Almyrida Resort. For anyone that doesn’t understand the difference between the accommodations (as I didn’t when I booked it!) Almyrida resort is a new style, modern hotel with an amazing infinity pool on the roof and restaurant called Thea, which is opposite the Almyrida Beach Hotel - a more traditional style hotel with a swimming pool and the Windmill. Almyrida Studios is also About 250m along the road aswell, along the coast. I think they are all owned by the same company. We stayed in the Almyrida resort And it was excellent. The rooms were equipped and quiet, and all of the staff were very very welcoming and accommodating. We had two toddlers with us and they were all very friendly and helpful. A special shout out Xanthi the receptionist as she was very nice to us, and also the housekeeping staff as they did a fantastic job every day. Both me and my sister also had massages in the spa with Panos. He was brilliant and very attentive. We were also very impressed by the staff who were at the breakfast buffet and manning the bars, they even made special vegan pancakes for my sister every day!

Great roof terrace with infinity pool. Very average food quality for breakfast buffet..... walk out of the hotel and choose anywhere on the seafront!! Would I stay again, no. It was the noisiest hotel I have stayed in...ever

Fruit juice was concentrate rather than pure Beef Lamb and Chicken cuts in veg buffet poor

Great place to stay

The service at the Almyrida Resort is excellent. Nothing is too much trouble. Ideal place for a relaxing break.

The area is outstanding, loads to do and lovely beaches....the staff were all very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend.

Staff were very helpful and friendly. Enjoyed the rooftop bar. Very laid back

Check in was great very polite and friendly staff, we were traveling as 2 couples and they placed us in adjoining rooms very convenient. The hotel rooms were spacious and very comfortable beds. My only criticism would be that the showers had fabric curtains. The breakfast was a very plentiful buffet which was constantly replenished. The pools were great. We stayed in the more modern section of the hotel. Parking when we first arrived was a little chaotic but you were competing with the general beach going public later there was no difficulty in obtaining spots. Almyrida beach was a lovely spot with close proximity to the beach and the eating options great. The beach was also the fine sand rather than the more rocky options in some parts of Crete. Lovely sheltered beach safe for children.

We had a fabulous short break early season in May. Stayed in Almyrida Studios which is directly on the beach and at the end of the Almyrida Bay. It has great sea views looking across to Chania. It is ideally located for beach, bars and restaurants. Room was excellent but the bathroom needs modernising. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Good selection of breakfast options in Almyrida Studios or at the sister hotel Almyrida Beach which is only a 5min walk. We ate out every night at the higher rated restaurants in the resort all of which were excellent. Highly recommend a day trip to Gramvoussa and Balos Lagoon. We are planning a return trip for the same time next year.
