I had a short stay at Fodele Beach and had a lovely time, the staff contacted me before I arrived to check me in and arranged a convenient checkout and transport back to the airport, I was very impressed and will book this hotel again.
The hotel was i a very nice location and very safe. The reception staff were very welcoming and explained us everything. The different restaurants were great and also the main buffet area which we actually liked better. The sea is next to the hotel and the view was great. The lounge next to the mainpool were very spacious and invited you to relax. You can store your luggage on the day of departure and also refresh yourself before going.
We loved our stay at this resort. The staff is incredible. We went with our infant daughter and the staff went out of their way to make our stay to make everything perfect.
The resort was really nice. Great food and amazing staff! However, though it was an all-inclusive resort, it did not make any sense at all why you had to purchase drinks after 11 PM, that includes soft drinks and liquor. Not sure why there is a time limit when it's an all-inclusive resort.
Beautiful hotel with amazing staff. Clean room, great beach, amazing food and drinks, loved the bar outside with great staff, great pool and great entertainment, especially for the kids.
Wonderful Hotel with good quality food, proefessional and motivated staff with a smile. Had a great room that was spacious and quiet.
All inclusive at its best with high quality drinks (real aperol!, and not a cheap alternative)
Lovely setting, right on the beach. Staff very helpful and friendly, food very good for buffet and three al a Carte restaurant meals included.
Room was a good size and separate area for teenage kids ideal. Only half hour drive from Heraklion airport and parking free at hotel. We rented a car as late flight and wanted to get to hotel ASAP. Car rental cheaper than private transfer and easy drive.
Paid for late check out as return flight not till after 11pm and was well worth it.

The hotel is like home, offering everything for everyone.
Staff are amazing and hardworking in this heat.
I would definitely comeback.
We went to Fodele for my 50th birthday and it was wonderful!
The seafront rooms were gorgeous, the grounds all look very modern, and the views were stunning.
I love waterslides and they were so much fun! Pools are nice, and the beach is spectacular.
Only drawbacks: the à la carte dining. The buffet actually tasted better than the à la carte, particularly the Italian restaurant. And sadly, the Greek restaurant forgot to bring us cake or do anything for my birthday as my husband had arranged. Still, overall, a very nice resort. Would recommend.

Liked: Staff & service
Definitely not a 5 star
Parts of the hotel had not yet opened, a restaurant a bar etc The water activities were also not offering the boat ride yet. The rooms basic the television had no apps and not working twice during the stay, definitely not a 5 star.
The room surfaces were not cleaned as nothing was ever moved and bedding not changed frequently even when a drink was spilled accidentally it was left dirty for the next night
The a la carte Greek restaurant was good and friendly the Italian lacked flavour and customer care
The kids club had no security we definitely would not leave children there and the entertainment was poor
The majority of the staff were amazing especially Poppi and the men driving the buggies to the rooms
Beautiful setting on the beach
Would definitely not go back again
They should state that all the facilities are not open or being offered
This hotel has everything i need as a family man. From checkin to check out everything was smooth. Thank you all team members. All of you are rocking the hotel.
Beautiful hotel, great amenities. Needs a bit of an update here and there…walkways around water park, walk ways on beach. Disappointed there were no ice lollies for kids available in all inclusive.
Bedrooms are fresh and modern, food spectacular.
The hotel is kept very clean, the staff is amazing, the variety of food, the beach and water park ! You cannot ask for a better hotel to enjoy a quiet vacation with family and friends ! We felt safe and welcomed every single day
Great location; ideal for exploring Heraklion, Knossos, Rethymno areas (with a car). Staff were friendly. The food was plentiful, good and varied. The water slides were loads of fun.
The cleanliness of the room was fine, but not spotless.
This is a lovely and lively place for a family holiday. Loads to do or equally, easy to chill out and relax. Because there is do much sunbed space around the pools and on the beach it never felt overcrowded even though it is a big hotel. Enthusiastic animation team. Try and get a room close to the Reception area otherwise it's a long walk up!
Crete was the third stop on our trip and we were so excited to check out this amazing waterpark resort overlooking the Aegean Sea. Overall the resort is ok.
Things we loved: Staff was very friendly and helpful, Room was big and loved having 2 bathrooms, Waterpark was very fun, Beach was beautiful and the views even better. Loved the daily entertainment, we have never laughed harder than we did at the resort comedy show. Quick taxi ride from the Ferry Port or Airport.
Things we wish were different: It is an All-inclusive that is mostly self service, you serve yourself everywhere you go, have to get your own food, your own drinks, no towel, drink or food service at the beach or the pools. Felt like a self service resort which was very odd to us for a 5-star hotel . Food was the same everyday and got very boring very quickly, reservations for the only 2 other restaurants were very inconvenient and difficult to make, plus wines were not included in the restaurant reservations. The enormity of the resort also makes it a bit exhausting to go from one end to the other.
We had overall a nice stay at Fodele beach. Positives: water park is great- very well organised and with lots os different slides and pools. It is the highlight of the hotel. Staff is nice and the entertainment team is absolutely fantastic- the best I have ever seen in hotels. Lots of entertainment options and evening shows. Beach is nice - not the most scenic but the water is warm and calm most days. Hotel is close to the airport (30min) which is very convenient. Negatives: hotel is built on a hill so be prepared to spend the whole day going up and down. Some parts of the hotel felt a bit tired and not 5 stars. For example the bathrooms by the pools. The lockers for the bathroom doors are dodgy and I got stuck twice and had to be released by people outside. The food could be better. There are lots of options on the main restaurant but generally food is oily. The wifi in the rooms doesn’t work. We moved rooms on the first night because of that but new room closer to reception was only marginally better. Staff drives around on golf carts which doesn’t feel safe for kids to walk around. Also the golf cart’s brake undid when we were removing our bags from it and almost hit our son. Lucky it was just a scare but it could have been serious.
This definitely isn’t a 5 star hotel, though we a good time and there positives:
-The room feels new and is a decent size but balcony is small. Cleaning is OK
-The food is great
-Alcohol is really good from the main bars in the evening (premium brands, good selection)
-The beach and waterpark are great
-The staff are friendly
BUT, there are many things that we’ve never experienced at a 5 star hotel and that would stop us staying again :
- The swimming pool isn’t big enough for the number of guests; lots of people were arguing with reception about it. The sun loungers are crammed in next to each other and you can’t get them most of the time - it resembles a 3 star hotel in Benidorm. (the beach is better and we paid €30 for a cabana most days to have a good spot)
-There is no drinks service by the pool or, more importantly, in any of the restaurants. If you want water at breakfast, wine at dinner, or a juice for your child, you have to go and queue for someone to serve you. They do bring water to your table at dinner but the staff are too busy and sometimes miss you. I’ve never known this in a 5, or even 4 star hotel. It's attrotious
-There are lots of extra charges such as for ice cream or cocktails on the beach
-There is no iron in the room and no way of getting one. Again, We’ve never known this in an hotel, let alone 5 star
Overall, our child loves it but we wouldn’t stay again and don’t think it is good value for money (€400 a night)
Schöne Anlage. Wie in der Beschreibung vorgefunden. Freundliches und aufmerksames Personal. Tolle Lage des Zimmers. Schöner Strand. Gute Gestaltung der Anlage.
Man hört den Strassenlärm gut je nach Lage des Zimmers. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich im ganzen Hotel. Sehr viele Leute am Buffet und laut im Hauptrestaurant, wenig Möglichkeiten draussen zu essen. Das italienische und griechische Restaurant sind gemütlich und sehr fein. Das Essen und Getränke allgemein sehr gut. Strand und Poolanlagen sehr schön und ideal für Kinder. Sportangebot wie Yoga, Pilates etc. wenig. Zimmer schön und sauber.
Insgesamt entspricht das Hotel nicht dem Standard eines 5-Sterne-Hauses. Das bereitgestellte Zustellbett war ein veraltetes Klappbett mit sehr dünner Matratze und bot keinerlei Komfort. Auch der Strand war enttäuschend: Er liegt in einer Bucht direkt an den Felsen, ist weder exklusiv noch besonders schön, nachmittags voller Algen und zudem für jedermann frei zugänglich. Der Zugang ist unpraktisch gestaltet. Selbst die internen Transportwege wirken wenig professionell, da ein heruntergekommener Wagen eingesetzt wird.
Fazit: In dieser Preisklasse gibt es definitiv deutlich bessere Hotels.
