We rested for a week with children and grandchildren. We chose this hotel for the water park and did not regret it (although there is not enough entertainment for kids). The beach is also normal, there were always free sunbeds. There are only drinks in the buffet on the beach, food is higher near the pools. not convenient for everyone: lunch from 12-30 to 14-30, whoever did not have time was late.

The bartenders work brilliantly, a good selection of drinks. Animation is rather weak (for children everything is in German), though Katya was wonderful who took care of Russian children (they are delighted with her). under the stage is a sewage pumping station. Something needs to be done about this.
Yes, wi-fi is only paid 2 euros per day, there is free, but dead.

The hotel corresponds to - minus a 4-star hotel. Rooms: Soviet-era renovation, plumbing and a 15-year-old hair dryer - everything works on snot, the shower cabin is designed for a 10-year-old child (it’s very crowded for a person with an average build, not to mention overweight people). There is no electrical outlet in the bathroom.

There is no electrical outlet in the bathroom. The room got with an ancient renovation and with old smoky furniture (furniture production in the 1990s, or even earlier), the air conditioner did not work (after 2 days of persuasion the master came) - after which everything worked, but this unit cooled the air with such noise that I just I regretted that I did not take earplugs from home. Mini Bar in the room (which was supposed to be replenished every day), also fictitious - they brought water, Pepsi and two cans of beer, only on the second day and were not replenished anymore (despite the fact that in the morning and evening they asked the reception to replenish the refrigerator, and the administrators smiled sweetly and promised to bring everything). No slippers, no iron!! ! Room Service NO!!! ! Cleaning is just at a low level - they wash where the mop gets out. They rolled up old wet and dirty towels and put in supposedly new ones !! ! The shower cabin is just a child's size, it is not possible for an adult to wash, no trouble. Shower supplies like shower gel and shampoo are just the bare minimum. For four people, they put 8 tubes of 50 ml each - for all 2 weeks. The door lock broke after a week of stay. It’s good that people were sitting on the balcony of neighboring rooms - they called the reception and explained the situation - the administrator said come to the reception, we will give you new ones - BUT, given the fact that we lived at the very top of the mountain and it was in the evening with tired children - I just demanded that the hotel staff picked us up and brought these keys!!! ! It’s a terrible story about beach towels in general - they change them 3 times a week from 12-14:00 (and if you don’t have time, you will lie on dirty smelly towels and wait for the date of issue of new ones) Once we changed the towels for "clean" towels, and deployed on the beach - and were SHOCKED - they were used, dirty, they smelled of someone else's creams, everything was stained (in short, someone else's dirty towels were rolled up and given out as clean). Food: everything is sooooo NOT tasty, the menu does NOT change (it's very bad with imagination). You will eat the same food for two weeks!!! ! Once in two weeks they put a waffle iron for breakfast (so the queue was like in a mausoleum and people just squabbled among themselves for portions - since there were two waffle irons and the cooking speed was very slow). They gave out this luxurious dish in portions - one waffle in one hand - only for some reason the Russians were so broken off, but the Germans could have gotten more) !! ! There is no children's food at all! The smell in the restaurant is not entirely pleasant, cutlery is dirty, napkins in general are scarce and luxurious in this hotel. Staff and waiters at the meal does not serve drinks do not bring. Their function is to quickly pick up plates from under the nose and free the table faster. With regard to animation - a complete bluff - its "animation" - SIMPLY NO !!! ! For half an hour of children's entertainment only in German - my children (6 and 9 years old) - refused to go there from the first day ! ! For adults, boredom is complete (everything is low). For some reason, we didn’t see all the so-called entertainment events (although we were at the central sites). There is no music in the pool at all (they were entertained with their music through their phones). INTERNET IS PAID!!!! ! Excursions: in general, nonsense - we booked an excursion through our operator INTOURIST - a curator came to us - suggested a certain route - we chose an individual transfer to a minivan with a driver and a guide - a sedan (Voltswagen) arrived, only with a driver (who speaks Russian - every other time - and the money was ripped off as for a VIP trip / Explanations alone - the car broke down, and the guide fell ill (of course, we sorted things out for a long time, lost a couple of hours, but didn’t achieve anything, we had to agree to what we have). the installation is not to notice all this nonsense, but every time we talked with vacationers in this hotel, we heard one thing - WHERE WE WERE GOING TO - HOW WE WERE DECEIVED - FOR WHAT WE PAID THIS MONEY (exactly half of the hotel was dissatisfied and disappointed tourists). And the most interesting thing was that ELDORADO was promised to everyone - but in fact this hotel can be described as a pioneer camp or, at best, a boarding house in the Penza region. To sum up, then - PEOPLE go there as in a 5-star hotel CATEGORYLY IMPOSSIBLE - the rest will be spoiled. I DO NOT RECOMMEND TO EVERYONE!!!!!! ! ps We thought that we were too demanding and we were just unlucky - BUT IN THE RESULT WE UNDERSTAND _ THAT IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO TAKE IT IN EVERYTHING - THIS IS A FAILURE IN THE SYSTEM AND ADVERTISING OF THIS HOTEL.

There are no complaints about the hotel accommodation. The Russian-speaking manager told and showed everything. We were put on bracelets, although it was 8 am, and offered to wait for check-in in comfortable conditions. At 12.30 we were already in the room. The number is a lottery, according to what principle old or new rooms are distributed remains a mystery.

The number is a lottery, according to what principle old or new rooms are distributed remains a mystery. We got a shabby room at the very top. But I'm glad that the number can be changed if there are free ones. But I think that a 5-star hotel should not have shabby rooms! In the room there is an old, barely blowing hair dryer, except for soap, do not expect any jars.
Housekeeping - fear! A spider lived with us for almost the entire rest, and in the bathroom in a conspicuous place. After cleaning, it seemed to get even dirtier. Mirrors, dust and a bath are apparently not included in the concept of cleaning. But towels and bedding were changed properly.
Meals: I was surprised how dramatically it changed on one of the days we were spoiled with dor blue cheese, champagne, red fish, etc. And the next day, the assortment of food became scarce, less varied than usual.
Internet: paid 7 days - 12 euros. I caught it well, even watched movies online, although we were far from the reception.
Animation: very weak, although they say so in all hotels in Greece. Few people went there.
Sea: beautiful, warm, clean sea, there is plenty of space on the beach, everyone has sunbeds and umbrellas. The entrance to the water is a bit rocky but that wasn't a problem. (by the way, the sea is warmer on this side of Crete than on the others)
Water park: great, children enjoy!!!
As for me, 5 stars is too much, but the hotel deserves a solid 4
In general, guys, Crete is an island for traveling, take modest 3 * hotels, or rooms in the villages, rent a car and enjoy your vacation!

They really ruined their vacation for their own money. The room is tiny, poorly cleaned. in the room there is nothing of the supposed "soapy-rylnyh". There are holes in the walls through which all sorts of boogers climbed. The balcony is without a net, so flying boogers also lived with us in the room. It is impossible to sleep with an open balcony, since entering the room through the balcony is just stepping over a low curb.

The hotel is bad no more than 2. Everything is beautiful in the pictures. The room is really small, the dust is not removed. There were no railings in our room on the balcony - anyone can enter the room without a key. Personally, lizards ran into our room twice. Almost all the rooms are located on the hill, you don’t run into much.

Almost all the rooms are located on the hill, you don’t run into much. After the steps on the 2nd day, the legs fall off, the fact that the mini-bass goes there doesn’t really save you, you have to wait 10-15 minutes. and then if you eat up. All rooms are above the reception and the dining room, so you have to run a lot. In the dining room, I can’t even call it a restaurant; all the food is cleaned in 30 minutes. until the end of lunch and dinner. The dining room is dirty. In general, apart from a good water park - there is nothing else. The sea is not very good. Entry into the water stones to the sand you have to walk. This hotel is not worth the money!

We rested with 3 families from 06/05/2013 to 06/15/2013 with a small child who is 2 years old and very capricious, but there was a lot of entertainment for him and he practically did not cry. Our family's room was at the very top in number 623, but this was not a problem, because there was always a train and a small car.

Our family's room was at the very top in number 623, but this was not a problem, because there was always a train and a small car. Drivers always drove carefully and were polite. The administrators are polite and helpful. Most of all we would like to thank Yuri. Everywhere is clean and beautiful. The rooms were cleaned every day and there was no such thing as a room left dirty. As for entertainment, I have a lot of impressions. In the afternoon, various competitions were held on the beach, it was a lot of fun. In the evenings, mini discos were held for the little ones and there were not many games with animators. Many thanks to the animators for the funny scenes that they showed us in the evenings, it was fun especially when there were comedies. The food in the restaurant and cafe was excellent, we were always full. The restaurant staff has always been polite. In the pools the water was clean and there were sunbeds everywhere. You could not worry about things when you swim in the pool or in the sea. The shop next to the reception had everything you need. The excursions were all excellent. Crete is very magnificent in its beauty. And the hotel fits in with its beauty. On behalf of our entire family, we would like to thank the entire Fodele Beach staff and wish them continued prosperity. Thank you so much for this amazing vacation!

I was at the hotel in October 2012. The hotel is not 5 stars. A standard room can hardly reach 3 stars. We went with a friend. We were offered a room with one bed as a married couple. I had to swear at the reception, they offered another room with 2 beds. Furniture old. The TV is small, 1 channel in Russian.

The bath with chipped enamel, it is impossible to use a hairdryer, it gets very hot and you can burn your hand. Apparently the hotel owners save a lot on vacationers. I liked the food, the wine bar too. There is no entertainment for adults. I liked the beach, there are no beach towels and the sea near the beach could be cleared of stones. It is difficult to enter the sea because of the stones. I will not go to this hotel again.

Good day everyone! I want to share my impressions about the hotel! We were 3 adults and we all loved it! ! The locals and the hotel staff are very friendly and educated. There is practically no language barrier. because everywhere they speak Russian or English. The hotel is very good, of course without flaws, but ideal is nowhere to be found.

Good day everyone! I want to share my impressions about the hotel! We were 3 adults and we all loved it! ! The locals and the hotel staff are very friendly and educated. There is practically no language barrier. because everywhere they speak Russian or English. The hotel is very good, of course without flaws, but ideal is nowhere to be found. We have no complaints at all. There were many surprises from the hotel on my birthday, everything went just fine. We rented a car for 2 days directly from the guides at the hotel (with gasoline it cost around 400 euros, we had a Peugeot 307 manual transmission). The hotel has quite a decent SPA, I advise you to visit. If you are going to be absent for a day at the hotel, then lunch will be collected for you in a cooler bag on the way. Be sure to visit the local taverns. . . it is great! ! the average check per person is 15-25 euros, well, if with fish, then a little more expensive, these are seafood prices. In short, we liked everything very much, and especially the taxi drivers in Chania, who gave us an almost complete tour and also refused the additional fee, because. they are just proud of the place they live in and it was just a pleasure for them to spend time with us! ! How))) In general, the rest left behind only positive emotions, oh. Crete is an unusually beautiful place, the hotel is wonderful, the sea is beautiful, a good beach, but honestly - dirty. . . but the views are breathtaking, every morning we left the room from the view of our bay and mountains !!!!! ! Have a good rest and I recommend to visit this place)))

My husband and I went together, we are not old, active and mobile, we go to fitness at home - but getting to the beach and, most importantly, returning back in this hotel in the heat is some kind of curse. Firstly, there is no flat straight road, the hotel is located on a steep mountain, there were 170 steps of intricate stairs and some stupid transitions to our room.

Firstly, there is no flat straight road, the hotel is located on a steep mountain, there were 170 steps of intricate stairs and some stupid transitions to our room. Walking with children in strollers is simply unrealistic! I don't know, maybe such settled somewhere lower? This time we stinted on 5-ultra or 5+ and saved on a suite, which is a pity! The standard room was cramped and shabby, the bathroom is something else! You open the door - and it hits the toilet, there is only enough space to take a step and stand in a low trough instead of a bathroom.
