Pobyt w hotelu oceniam bardzo dobrze. Na bardzo duży plus zasługuje otoczeniu hotelu, bliskość pięknej plaży. Zawieszka można było znaleźć wolne leżaki zarówna na plaży jak i przy basenie. Wieczory w cudownej atmosferze. Koncerty na żywo z piękna muzyka były cudowne. Minus za jedzenie- bardzo monotonne. Brakowało jedzenia pod dzieci. Niektóre potrawy były słabej jakości. Za to sałatki, kurczak sosy itp były znakomite. Dla dorosłych (niezbyty wymagających) kuchnia jest ok. Gdyby miała ponownie wybierać- zdecydowanie wybrałabym Kalyves Beach Hotel!

Staff was helpful and kind, enjoyed the evening traditional Cretan dance performance which was wonderful. Beach & pools were clean. Opted for the inclusive package, food and drinks with a family was great option with a family of 4. Balancing view of the sea was wonderful to wake up to in the morning. Only downfall on our whole time there was our air conditioning unit in our room was not as cool as we are used too. Overall would recommend this property.

Lovely hotel
Nice hotel for a 5 night stay. Most of the staff were great, Penelope (manager) was fab!! Our room was comfortable though incredibly hot and the A/C was not powerful enough to cool it, the staff kindly provided a plug in fan but still so hot night times were difficult, but I think it was because we were the end of a corridor and therefore had the sun on the exterior wall all day? Food options were good, generally a chicken, pork and fish option at each meal, pretty generic AI food but always something tasty available. Definitely worth upgrading to the higher level all inclusive as drinks options MUCH better with this. However there is only one bar and often only one member of bar staff on so were made to feel a bit guilty on occasion ordering cocktails. They definitely need more staff of an evening and/or another bar space. Location is great, right on the beach, with free sunbeds. Kalyves is a lovely little village to explore with lots of nearby beach bars and restaurants if you want a change of scenery, we hired a car one day to visit Kournas Lake (25 mins drive) using the lovely car hire company in the hotel. Nice gym, not hugely stocked, but suitable for a decent workout. There is also yoga/stretching each morning with the entertainment staff for something more gentle.

Seems to be a staffing issue at this hotel, the girls on reception were very polite with the exception of one lady called Ria who seemed determined to make things difficult rather than being helpful, we think a customer service coarse may be due!! Also the bar staff were very overworked and at peak times couldn’t cope with the volume of orders. The cleaning was very hit and miss maybe again due to lack of staff? The room was very small and suitcases had to put onto the balcony.

After booking a room with a sofa bed and soft bed topper as well as informing the hotel that this was due to traveling with someone who was disabled, we were only given a double room with the hardest mattress and told we could not have a soft bed topper untill the next day. However this was sorted then next day and we were able to move to the room we had booked. Food and beer were what you would expect from a budget hotel, with some poor dishes and some good ones, choice was also quite repetitive. Anyone who enjoys all inclusive, will be ok

The staff were extremely friendly and welcoming! Particularly the ladies on reception and the guys on the bar. Catering staff were fantastic too, nothing was ever too much hassle. The hotel was a great place for couples or lone travellers, very quiet and tucked away so perfect to relax if you’re just seeking to relax for a few days in the sun. The all inclusive was perfect, plenty of food and drink on offer and definitely would advise going for the gold band. Not much more expensive but you have free choice of everything including branded drinks etc. All in all a perfect little chilled, relaxed holiday and we will absolutely be back!

Decent hotel. Great place for pools and the sea. Food was good and varied each day, entertainment also good. Staff were very friendly. Room was ok, everything you need in there, in our shower the curtain was about 6 inches off the floor so the room got pretty wet but apart from that it was all good.

Brilliant Birthday Break
A great stay for my partner's birthday who received a cake and champagne on the day. We also got upgraded to a sea view room which was great. Food options were varied and plentiful though sometimes difficult to put a 'proper meal' together. Snacks (ice cream, sandwiches, cake etc) were available outside of restaurant hours. We found there to be more snack and drink options available compared with other all-inclusive hotels. Off-menu cocktails cost 7e and Metaxa 3.20e. The very comfortable sunbeds around the small pool and on the beach were limited - although signs say not to reserve beds people did and it was the only way to secure a spot although people did abuse this, laying their towels down and then only visiting for an hour. There are about 5 spaces for 'onsite parking', otherwise there's a large piece of open dirt parking 2-3minute walk away. It's possible to drop luggage off at the front/side of the hotel and staff will direct you to the parking. Rooms have great soundproofing but I found the mattress to be on the hard side and there were no coffee sachets in the room - only 1 coffee pod for the espresso machine which isn't replenished. Not too big a deal when you're on the all-inclusive plan! Overall, a relaxing stay, perfect if you want to do nothing other than eat, sleep, and swim.
