Akoya Resort - All Inclusive

Well what can I say. Good point was the staff are friendly and helpfull. We stayed for 7 nights only had hot water twice. Shower was waist hight, so difficult to use and dirty. Needs to be upgraded asap. We went all inclusive, my goodness, did it get boring. Same food over and over again. With only slight changes. Had the same pudding lunch and dinner for 7 days! Very limited drinks included. Ended up eating out. Would I go again, nope

It was a lovely place🌴🥰🍹, the rooms where clean. The food is good and tasty 😋 The staff were very friendly, helpful and smiling🤗(Demis😉💛). The hotel is located on a hill, near city centre and beach🏖. There is pool for kids and a nice clean pool for adults. Good experience. I suggest families to visit. Thanks💛

It was the worst all inclusive i have ever been to, on arrival no food. the food was nearly the same everyday. the puddings was just ice cream and melon every day. We ended up eating out the last 4 days just couldn't stomach the food anymore. The hill to hotel we called in cardiac hill, there is 7 seat golf cart only going up and down 9:30- 10, 13:00- 13:30, 18:00-18:30, 20:00 - 20:30 every day. Staff where very nice. don't ask for late checkout they are not accommodating at all. Bar drinks from 10am to 10pm then you pay but you can only have Larger, Wine and they do 5 cocktails any other drinks like gin and tonic, vodka and coke you have to pay for. The result is very uneven and not assessable for disabled or anyone with any walking issues. Entertainment was only on the Monday starting at 9:30pm off course free bar closes at 10pm ..

The hotel is nice and they clean rooms every day. For bed you can feel the matress coming through. We are staying all inclusive and the food is THE SAME every dsy. What is not eaten tpday, it is offered the next day and the day after. There was mauld in my food today!! BUT strategy is to check ehat is offered and not eat the same offered food every day. Wine is onky red and white and the foodmaking wine qualiry. Few drinks as well on the list. All in all - good quality if you are on a tight budget! PA jos oot ja haluat reissuun suomeksi :)

This place deserves a much higher rating, it was a lovely place to stay, food was nice, the rooms where clean and where maintained everyday all with a balcony or porch area. there was a shuttle to the beach and the staff where lovely The only semi issues where that cocktails where not included in the all inclusive (however they where rather cheap)

When I was looking at all the reviews on here I got very concerned about what we’d booked so if you’re in the same position I was - don’t worry! It’s really not as bad as everyone has been making out. The pool and the rooms were clean, the staff were lovely, and the hotel itself is gorgeous. The air conditioning in the room is super efficient and the staff really do go out of their way for you. My favourite thing - they offer shuttles to and from the beach at certain hours during the day. They also have a deal with one of the beach bars that lets you have 10% off the bill and free sun loungers. The walk to the beach is easy, but coming back up the hill in the heat was a little challenging so I definitely recommend taking a picture of the shuttle times at the front desk. The less desirable parts - the food is okay. Kind of what you’d expect from all inclusive (although the baclava they offer is fantastic definitely try it). My main issue really was with the drinks in the all inclusive. You could get wine, beer, spirits, and mixers. All cocktails you have to pay for. Mind, they are significantly cheaper than what you’d pay in England, but still. If I were to recommend something to the hotel it would be to include a couple of simple cocktails in their all inclusive. Location wise, it’s a little further from the main town of Rethymno but you can get a taxi there for €15 or a bus quite easily. Definitely worth checking out the town. All in all, I would come back! I probably wouldn’t go for the all inclusive because we ended up eating / having drinks out most of the time, but otherwise I had a very enjoyable stay.

We recently stayed at Adele Paradise, advertised as a 4-star hotel, but our experience was far from that standard. This hotel is closer to a 3 star hotel than a 4-star. I have been to much nicer 3-star hotels with more luxury. There were no shower holders in any rooms, so we had to hold the showerhead ourselves while bathing. The bathrooms were old and worn, looking like they were from the 90s, with a bad smell coming from the drain. For the first three nights, we were woken up at 1 AM by loud yelling and banging from the neighbors, lasting around 2 hours each night. Despite complaining to the reception every day, we were only moved to a new room after the third night. The hotel pool was very dirty, appearing not to have been cleaned for a long time, and the water didn’t smell of chlorine. After swimming once, I developed a red rash that required a doctor’s visit and intravenous treatment for 3 hours. The breakfast was awful. There was water in the scrambled eggs, and the juice tasted very artificial. Additionally, reaching the hotel required walking up a hill that took around 15 minutes, which was quite inconvenient. This hotel is not worth the money or the hassle. I recommend finding another place to stay if you expect a pleasant and trouble-free experience.

I visited in 2018, BUT stay away from this hotel. Everything was bad with this hotel Food = terrible Cleaning = terrible, even if you ask for cleaning or new towel, they won’t do anything. They change name every year or two to get rid of bad reviews, enough said?

"Mud" pools, sticky coating on the body, beehives near the pool, disposable plastic cups, fighting for shampoo and shower gel, fighting for dessert and a lot of other trash! Until now, I could never even think that I would encounter such a person in Greece. Before visiting this paradise, you should determine whether you are ready for: 1. Constant systematic struggle for shampoo and shower gel 2. Swimming in a dirty pool, where the bottom is visible only in the part where its depth does not exceed 50 cm. After swimming in the pool, your body will be sticky, and here remember that there will most likely be no shower gel in the room, so I recommend that if you already got here - buy your shampoo and shower gel, or ask for it yourself at the reception every time. 3. Some of the umbrellas are broken, so if you don't plan to walk to the sea for 15 minutes every time, or get used to the shuttle that goes to the city twice a day (uphill and downhill), then take more sunscreen. 4. There is an apiary near the hotel, where the bees do not drink water well, so be prepared - they are constantly drinking water near the pool. Take something with you to drive them away. 5. Consuming drinks from disposable plastic cups at the bar near the pool, non-alcoholic ones - read what is wrong with them in point 6, and alcohol in point 7. 6. The food in the restaurant is delicious, I especially liked the fish, but the selection is far from 4 stars, it’s not even 3. There is always a shortage of seats, you can wait more than 20 minutes in the corridor, the machines with drinks (juices and soda) are set up like this , that the orange juice is barely yellow - the amount of concentrate is 20% of the factory settings. Separately, I would like to mention the corner with desserts—everything is stable here - the selection consists of sliced ​​melon, sliced ​​watermelon, and oriental sweets of the same kind. Only once a day - during dinner, somewhere around 8 pm, a cake is taken out - only up to 10 pieces. At this time, the dinner turns into gladiatorial fights of the guests for at least one bite, and the kitchen workers go out to look at this ring and laugh, although here I think it is necessary to cry. There is also a scale at the entrance to the restaurant, in my opinion this is such an informal hint for guests not to eat too much at times. 7. All inclusive here is very specific, it works only until 10 pm, and the nearest civilization is 10 minutes from the hotel, and you will have to go back downhill. In All inclusive, the bar includes (local ouzo, brandy, raki, white and red wines diluted with water, beer and a cocktail - just one without ice) After 10 o'clock, everything becomes paid, they immediately start serving drinks in glassware, but don't be happy, even for the money, the cocktail will consist of 85% ice.
