The hotel, of course, is luxurious. Stayed here for three nights as part of a promotional tour. "Lick" from head to toe. The double room is large. There is one big bed and one small one. They are separated from each other by sliding shutters or doors. So we can say that it turns out actually two rooms. There is a large balcony and a small private outdoor pool and sun loungers right outside the balcony.

The hotel, of course, is luxurious. Stayed here for three nights as part of a promotional tour. "Lick" from head to toe. The double room is large. There is one big bed and one small one. They are separated from each other by sliding shutters or doors. So we can say that it turns out actually two rooms.
There is a large balcony and a small private outdoor pool and sun loungers right outside the balcony.
When you check in, you will find letters in an envelope with greetings from the hotel management and wishes for a good rest. The same thing happens when you check out - letters where you are told "goodbye, come to us again. "
Upon arrival, a table with fruit, a tea set (tea, coffee, cream, biscuits), a bottle of wine and drinking water was waiting for us in the room. As well as a snack in the form of cheese, olives, cucumbers, tomatoes and toasters. Plus a carafe of local spirits.
The bathroom included, in fact, the bath itself, a shower, two washbasins (!! ), bathroom accessories. The bed was often decorated with fresh flowers.
What impressed me is that in the morning, while you are leaving for breakfast, the staff comes into the room and makes the bed for you, puts exactly the slippers. And in the evening he comes again and spreads out your bed for sleep, spreads a rug at your feet and puts slippers closer. And he folds your clothes on the bed into different bizarre shapes.
The hotel area is very large, well-groomed, with several buildings and a fountain. While walking, you can see multi-colored funny sculptures of animals. There are playgrounds with slides, tennis and basketball courts.
The beach is sandy, quite cozy, with grass, tents, sun loungers and towels. You can swim in the common huge pool with Greek columns. Or relax in the cafes and restaurants on site. In the evenings - shows with live music, games, entertainment for children and adults. There are also boutiques with clothes, cosmetics and accessories.
In the evening, thousands of lights are lit in the hotel, and you can take a walk or relax on soft white leather sofas and armchairs, conveniently placed around the perimeter of the territory and openly waiting for your guests.
Food at the hotel buffet is beyond praise in terms of choice. A variety of delicacies, red fish, caviar, cheeses, salads, fruits, champagne with ice! There is everything you want and for every taste.
It can be noted that the hotel fully and even more than corresponds to its 5 stars and is worth the money spent on it. The atmosphere is very conducive to rest and relaxation. Plus from everywhere breathes fashionableness and comfort. Great hotel!

We flew to Fr. Crete on the morning of July 13. We were brought to the hotel, although we arrived at 9.30 am, immediately settled.

The staff is very diligent, everyone is friendly. The restaurant liked the seafood, very tasty fish. I recommend the hotel to anyone who wants service in Greece, everything is very nice there, even my own line of cosmetics, which is constantly placed in the rooms in the bathroom. We will definitely go to this hotel!

In this country, we rest not for the first time, but in such a beautiful hotel we are the first time. This is really the place where you want to return and from where you do not want to leave. You can also safely go here with the kids because of the excellent animators in the kids club, it was clear that they not only work hours, but really love their work. The child did not want to leave the duda at all. I actually left the hotel with tears in my eyes. And of course there are some disadvantages, but they are not so significant that you can not mention, although I will say about some. But this was not important to us in principle, but maybe this information will be useful to someone. Wi-Fi is weak and does not catch everywhere, although it was enough for the viber. And the cleaning, although good, is not always convenient in time, and probably that's all. The food is excellent, the dishes can be said to be masterpieces, especially in a la carte restaurants. The main restaurant also pleased with the variety and quality of food. There was even champagne for breakfast. Alcohol is good too. I also enjoyed the sea water pool. There are no complaints about the beach either. . In general, the hotel was chosen very carefully, but even according to reviews it is not really difficult to choose. The service at the hotel is at a very high level. Everything is done quickly and clearly. Everything in the hotel is clean and tidy. Even on the beach during the day they level the sand. There are sun loungers on the lawn. The hotel has its own line of good cosmetics, which are provided in the room. Animation is very unobtrusive in the evenings live music. There is a tennis court. Car rental at the hotel is a little expensive, but this service is also available. All in all, the hotel has everything you need and the location is quite convenient. We will definitely come back here next year.

I have been to Greece before, so I know a lot about good local hotels. It was not the first time that they rested in Grecotel Amirandes, therefore, with knowledge of the matter, they once again chose it for a vacation. Comfort is at every step, room service, on the beach, by the pool and in the restaurant at the highest level.

Comfort is at every step, room service, on the beach, by the pool and in the restaurant at the highest level.
The staff is friendly and welcoming, of course they don't speak Russian, but it doesn't matter, it's stupid to choose a hotel just for this. Everything corresponds to five stars, a lot of greenery and flowers, clean both inside and throughout the territory including the beach. Sunbeds with towels are always in abundance.
The food is very tasty, the variety is such that it was not possible to try everything in eight days. It is immediately noticeable that everything is created for comfort and relaxation: massage, spa and sauna with wonderful wizards, after all the procedures you are born again.
During the vacation, I was inspired to visit several ancient places, the most impressive was the Palace of Knossos.
We managed to feel all the advantages of our vacation thanks to the tour operator, to whom we turned for help in organizing the trip.

A hotel where everything is perfect! We didn’t particularly choose the hotel - we traditionally have been traveling for many years through our tour operator (TPG, Kyiv) to the same hotel in Crete - it’s been Meli Palace three times already, because the cheapest of the Grekotel system has a children’s program.

A hotel where everything is perfect! We didn’t particularly choose the hotel - we traditionally have been traveling for many years through our tour operator (TPG, Kyiv) to the same hotel in Crete - it’s been Meli Palace three times already, because the cheapest of the Grekotel system has a children’s program. But here we were offered to try something different, and we agreed to go to Amirandes.
Subjectively, I'm just crazy about the hotel. Everything is fine here: a large beach, a beautiful entrance to the sea (as if under your feet there is a flat concrete slab covered with an even layer of sand - not a single random pebble). The room is cleaned twice a day. Restaurant food, and exclusive restaurant food: all kinds of shrimp, sushi fresh, etc. A saltwater pool that is drained, washed and refilled daily. All day children's programs. There are absolutely no Russians (for some reason, there are practically no Germans either - mostly British and French).
The only "but" is a rather modest (as in the scale of such a hotel) children's playground. The fact that there were no Russian-speaking animators was a plus to some extent, although it still complicated it a little - a four-year-old child cannot simply be left with caregivers, because they do not understand each other.
But in general, a very good impression, and if the playground were expanded, I would put all 10 stars, but I’ll take one off to leave where to develop further!

I will say without any understatement - this is the best place on the planet! Since childhood, I dreamed of visiting Crete, but I did not think that I would get here with my child. We went to different countries more than once, but when this year I had the opportunity to visit Crete, I grabbed it with my hands and feet.

I will say without any understatement - this is the best place on the planet! Since childhood, I dreamed of visiting Crete, but I did not think that I would get here with my child. We went to different countries more than once, but when this year I had the opportunity to visit Crete, I grabbed it with my hands and feet. We did not have the opportunity to leave the child at home, but as it turned out, this is the best hotel we have ever been to, designed for families. To begin with, when we first got here, it felt like we were met by a family of friends, and not by the hotel staff. The service is just amazing! I have never seen such service in a restaurant, in a room or on the beach. All products that are prepared in the Grecotel hotel chain are grown on their own farm, and Amirandes is no exception. The food quality is excellent! The restaurant in the hotel will be the envy of some restaurants from Moscow, not to mention the standard hotel restaurants in other countries, it's just heaven and earth. For our crumbs, they prepared separately mashed soups with meat and fish to choose from, and without any surcharges or tips! Fresh fruit puree, as well as excellent milk cereals and juices. It's just a miracle, you can praise the hotel staff endlessly. There are also A la Carte restaurants, and a wonderful bar with delicious cocktails, two free vouchers are issued upon arrival. Just a hundred meters from the hotel there is a good and inexpensive cafe "Medusa", where they cook very well. And the children's center for parents is just a godsend. You can send a child over three years old there from 10 to 18, and not even worry, they will cherish and cherish like a native! We did not even expect that the hotel would be so suitable for our baby. The rooms, although small, but with a private isolated pool, where the child can splash around, and the parents will sunbathe. The room is crystal clean, cleaned twice a day. For towels and stuff, and nothing to talk about. The hotel has its own line of excellent cosmetics, which is fully provided in the room. Well, how about without a beach. The sea is super, the weather is excellent. The beach is a little rocky, but with a comfortable descent, well, the service even on the beach is appropriate. Our desires were simply foreseen. So if we go on vacation next time, then only in Amirandes, no options!

Good afternoon! Spent with a friend an unforgettable holiday in Crete! Great hotel, great service, friendly staff! Wonderful place, looks like a labyrinth. I was very pleased that a couple of minutes walk to the sea, a sandy beach, sunbeds, umbrellas and towels for free. Since the sea was still cool, we swam in an Olympic-sized saltwater pool.

We rested there with my wife and daughter at the end of September 2011. The hotel is of course magnificent. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, we had a room with a terrace, part of the room was separated by a sliding door. The territory of the hotel is planned in such a way that when you walk around the territory it seems that the hotel is half full, and there are very few people in it.

We rested there with my wife and daughter at the end of September 2011. The hotel is of course magnificent. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, we had a room with a terrace, part of the room was separated by a sliding door. The territory of the hotel is planned in such a way that when you walk around the territory it seems that the hotel is half full, and there are very few people in it. However, it is not. The whole atmosphere is simply conducive to relaxation. Calm and quiet. This is not Turkey with loud music and loud animators. Everything is very respectable and solid. The cleaning of the room takes place at the moment when we all had breakfast. There are no complaints about cleaning at all. The staff at the reception Russian-speaking girls are just sweethearts. Any whim wish does not go unnoticed. Our child had an earache, everything was organized within 30 minutes, the arrival of the doctor, the delivery of medicines, and without tension and additional stimulation. the territory of the hotel is large, 2 beaches, a huge swimming pool with sea water, tennis court, golf. But of course it's stupid to be in Crete and stay in a hotel. Personally, we rented a car for the entire vacation and drove to interesting places in Crete. We visited the beach of Vai, with palm trees, went to the island of lepers, on the way back we swam in the beautiful bay of Kolokytha (this is the name from the Garmin map). We visited the Palace of Knossos. And by the way the Cretan Aquarium is very close to the hotel. It is better to rent a car in Hersonissos, it is much cheaper there than in a hotel. We rented from Carera, Renault Clio cost 30 euros per day with full insurance including glass, wheels and food on dirt roads. However, if you go to Balos Bay, then you should take a four-wheel drive car.
The food at the hotel is excellent. For breakfast there is bacon, 3 types of fresh juices, well, in general, a lot of everything, everything is tasty and fresh. Our tour package included only breakfast, lunch and dinner for an extra charge, however, lunch is organized for children, which is included in the tour price. We had dinner a couple of times at the hotel, it was delicious, but as for me, such a dinner does not cost 120 euros for 2 adults with a child. In the same Hersonissos, which is 7-10 minutes away by car, an excellent dinner on the embankment will cost a maximum of 50 euros, and there you will also be treated to fruits, wine, and ice cream for free. Near the hotel is a village called Gouves. You can go there by leaving the hotel beach (jumping on stones. There is another exit, but for some reason it is very often closed. In the village you can also have dinner, sit and relax. There is also a supermarket where you can buy drinks and water. At the entrance to Hersonissos there is Spar supermarket, where many Russian-speaking vacationers shop, where drinks, including alcohol, are much cheaper than in Gouves and much cheaper than in a hotel.
In general, there is only one disadvantage of otleya, although this is probably also its dignity - everything is quite expensive. Two glasses of Heineken beer cost 11 euros and a milkshake for a child 9 euros. It's delicious, of course, but still. Therefore, I put the hotel 9 and not 10. Otherwise, our family personally has no complaints.
