We were interested in upgrading our room for a private pool room since our room was directly facing the main pool, was kind of hard to enjoy the balcony when you can basically have a conversation with the people in the pool. We were told to come back every morning to ask, every morning the price changed and it was a little difficult to even find someone who could even check or do the room change for us really. The kids pool is basically useless since there’s kids jumping around the main pool anyway. The all inclusive breakfast is no where near greek food, was a Cuba buffet. Had to pay 3 euro for an espresso cause that’s not included. Finally I had enough and told them I wasn’t happy and I was checking out early, the AC was terrible, my fiancées asthma was acting up and there were ants in the room.... the manager didn’t even come see us, the girl at the front told me someone would call me. I never got a phone call! I even emailed the hotel to tell them how unpleasant my stay was and no one ever got back to me. They do not care. If you’re going for a nice greece trip, save yourself the disappointment.

Great food with variety, friendly staff, rooms are VERY clean which is very important to me, also the entire hotel and pool are very well maintained, very calm and secluded 15 minutes drive from Chania, the beach that the hotel uses are 5 minutes walk on a small road, but still feels private, its an open sea not a marine

Nice hotel, a short walk from the beach
When I first arrived I was very dis heartened with how far away it was from the village but once we had a small taxi ride (costing only €9) I was very glad to be away from the hussel and bussel. Hotel was lovely and the staff were amazing and always happy to help. Food wasn't what we expected but we had recommendations from the very helpful taxi company for restaurant which were amazing! Pool facilities always clean, barmen always collecting glasses. Although we didn't use it we had free massage vouchers which I thought was a lovely touch. We were very lucky with our room, very spacious on the ground floor. Would definitely go back again! Very beautiful place.

Absolument fantastique
Un hôtel magnifique pour un séjour inoubliable. Tout d’abord un grand merci à Maria G de la cuisine, Ervin et toute son équipe en cuisine et en salle, Areti à la réception ainsi que ses collègues, le personnel de ménage, le jeune barman à la piscine… Vous êtes au top et vous méritez que la direction sache que vous faites un travail génial ! Vacances magnifiques dans cet hôtel. Vous commencez par être accueilli chaleureusement à la réception, si vous arrivez à l’heure d’un repas ils vous inviterons à aller vous restaurer avant de vous accompagner à votre chambre. Pour ma part une chambre avec piscine privée en all inclusive. Chambre très spacieuse, piscine relativement grande, environ 1m40 de profondeur. Des transats, serviettes de piscine (changées tous les 2 jours). Des gâteaux de bienvenues, une bouteille pour ceux qui consomment de l’alcool, des bouteilles d’eau et le nécessaire pour café thé. Serviettes de bain, peignoirs et chaussons, kits coton tige disque démaquillant lime à ongles et un élastique à cheveux et une charlotte de douche. Vous trouverez 1 grand flacon de savon liquide pour les mains et 1 grand flacon de 2en1 gel douche/ shampoing. Petit point négatif la dessus, pas d’après shampoing ni crème hydratante comme il y a quelques années, veuillez a en ramener ou en acheter car on se dessèche rapidement la peau entre la piscine et le soleil… et les cheveux aussi ! Point négatif sur la sdb pour les portes. Sinon, je recommande vivement !!

Très plaisant
Idéalement situé entre La Canée (10/15min) et les activités à l’Ouest de la Crète (1h de Balos Beach et 1h30 d’Elafonisi). Les + : - amabilité du personnel - parking devant l’hôtel - grande piscine principale + piscine pour enfants séparée - prêt de serviettes de bain - petit déjeuner correct (pas exceptionnel mais suffisant) - chambre supérieure correcte - secteur calme Les -: - prix des chambres un peu cher pour la prestation (pendant notre séjour d’une semaine, nous avons été logés dans des hôtels moins cher avec autant de confort, voir plus) - nous avons pris la formule petite déjeuner. Si vous souhaitez prendre le buffet pour un midi seulement, c’est 15€ par personne : nous avons trouvé ça excessif pour le contenu du buffet, et avons préféré manger ailleurs.

Solimar kann ich nur empfehlen vom Service bis zur Rezeption, super nette hilfsbereite Mitarbeiter, sehr gutes Essen, auf die Hygiene wird gesondert geachtet. Augenscheinlich sah man ständig Mitarbeiter die desinfiziert haben. Die Kellner waren sehr gepflegt und höflich, man hat sich wohl gefühlt. Moderne und saubere Zimmer, modern gestaltes Buffet sind weitere Pluspunkte. Immer wieder gerne.
