The resort itself is quite nice, but the service and dining experience were disappointing. The staff is very slow, and only a few are genuinely friendly. The half-board (HB) plan is not worth it — most meals come with additional charges, which makes it feel misleading. What’s worse, several dishes were served cold, including meat and shrimp — something that should never happen. Overall, the resort is fine for a stay, but I strongly recommend eating elsewhere.

Brilliant relaxing break

We stayed in an amazing room with private pool overlooking sea, room was great, service and food in all restaurants was fantastic, we enjoyed breakfast each day in the Crete restaurant overlooking the beach. We would love to go back for another holiday!

The Abaton experience was fabulous from the moment of arrival right through to check out. The staff are attentive and always keen to help (shout out to Xenia at the front desk expecially). Our beachfront loft was amazing. We will be back.

Great experience!

Great experience. This was a last minute trip and we were specifically looking for a 5* luxury resort where to relax and enjoy a summer break. Food was great, the rooms were very nice and fresh, and the resort is very well kept and designed. I would highly recommend this place!

It was a fantastic experience. The reason for the lower markings on some areas are: Our reservation was for 3 people (2 adults, 1 child) and we were only provided with accommodations for 2 (towels, bedding). We had a Loft, with a pullout couch for the child. The pullout did not have bedding (pillow, sheets, blanket). I called the reception multiple times (4) to have them send some to our room, and they were not delivered until late in the evening, after the 4th call. For the towels, I had to call reception at least once per day for the first 3 days, to have an extra towel provided so we all had a towel for showering. Cleanliness, overall we were very satisfied with the cleanliness of the room, however, one of the decorative throw pillows was very badly stained (looked like it could possibly be blood), we left it out and visible for housekeeping to replace it, but every time we returned, the pillow was still there with the stained side turned over so it was not visible again. There were also 2 occasions when the clean towels provided were stained, or not cleaned. They had brown colored stains and marks on them in some areas, which weren’t noticeable until the towel was unfolded. Overall the stay was very pleasant. It is a beautiful resort with much to offer. The staff were very friendly, and seemed to go above and beyond to provide an overall great experience. They even allowed us to check in 1 hour earlier.

Good hotel but not worth it

It’s a nice enough resort and property. But very overpriced for what you get. I don’t see this Iine as a 5 star hotel. The linens and beds were great. The gym very nice. I found the rooms to be tacky for my taste. I would not stay here again especially for the price. I got a two story room. The service was great. The staff friendly and helpful. But when I think 5 star and this price I think four seasons and other type brands. And this is not there. Not even close.

Very large property. Chic resort, with an “all inclusive” resort feel. Definitely not intimate, if you are looking for that feel. Nice beach inclusions along the property. The food was very average and higher price point. Our service and food at Buddha Bar, which has a lovely view, was not good and no awareness to the food not eaten. The room had an awkward layout, open concept, with the shower separate and right at the door. Our suite had ants all over the bar area and outdoors sitting space. The rooms are temperature controlled by the door being opened and closed - hard to regulate. Very warm and then too cold.

Très bon séjour malgré les 2 bémols

Je n’ai pas utilisé le spa que j’ai trouvé assez cher. Je n’ai pas apprécié le fait que l’on ne puisse pas accéder aux installations sans mettre une somme folle dans un soin ou massage. Ils devraient donner l’accès au hammam etc…aux guets moyennant un petit supplément comme cela se fait ailleurs dans les hotels de même catégorie ! De ce côté là un peu déçue. La nourriture chère pour ce que c’est mais pas mauvaise. Le reste parfait. Très bon accueil et très beau cadre. Nous avons séjourné 2 nuits au lieu de 4.

Rude managers and half board mess

The staff, especially the managers are very rude. When asking them questions, they act like they don’t want to talk to you. We booked half board and no one knows what is going on with it so it causes lots of arguments and tension between the guests and staff. Me and my husband stayed in a room and they only left one towel. They also left bin bags in my room. For the price , I was expecting a 5 star experience and it was far from that.

Insgesamt war alles hervorragend, es gibt nur wenige Kleinigkeiten, die ich auszusetzen hätte. Das Hotel an sich ist wunderschön, die Lage und auch die Räumlichkeiten / Umgebung. Das Personal war sehr nett und man wurde mehrmals gefragt, ob alles in Ordnung ist und man noch irgendwas machen könnte, um den Aufenthalt weiter zu verschönern. Da mein Partner und ich uns pflanzlich ernähren war das vegane Essensangebot auch ein wichtiger Punkt für uns. Es gab eine sehr große Auswahl und alles war gut gekennzeichnet, wobei wir uns bei ein paar Gerichten nicht 100% sicher waren, ob die jetzt wirklich vegan sind. Es waren auch Süßspeisen mit Honig als vegan gekennzeichnet, obwohl das definitiv nicht so ist. Das Highlight waren die Artischocken, die es (leider nur) am ersten Abend gab und die Zitronen-Kartoffeln – SO lecker!! Generell waren alle Gerichte mit Kartoffeln mega lecker! Kompliment an die Köche! Die KellnerInnen waren auch alle sehr nett und zuvorkommend. Nur das ständige Wasser nachschenken beim Abendessen war uns ein bisschen zu viel. Was ich auch noch erwähnen will, da kann aber das Abaton nichts dafür: leider konnten wir immer wieder Gäste beobachten, die am Buffet alles mögliche auf ihre Teller aufluden und dann mehr als die Hälfte stehen liesen.. nehmt euch doch bitte nur das, was ihr wirklich esst.. es wurde auch so viel Orangensaft wieder weggeschüttet, auch am Strand war einiges an Müll. Sobald die Leute auf Urlaub sind, ist ihnen vieles egal. Würde gerne noch m..

My stay at this resort was memorable. From the moment we arrived the staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. Their attentiveness and hospitality made our trip easy and seamless. The property was always kept clean. The architecture of this resort felt elegant, you can tell it was carefully designed. The breakfast buffet had a variety of options, and the convenience of being able to book cabs and excursions directly through the hotel made things stress free. The resort had a peaceful ambiance. Even in busier areas it felt calm, I felt relaxed during my whole stay. On our final day, my partner and I enjoyed a couples spa massage treatment it was worth every penny. The right way to end our trip. I genuinely loved everything about this resort and will definitely return. Highly recommend.

Wir waren nun bereits zum 4x hier und sind wieder überwältigt von der Schönheit des Hotels, der sehr gepflegten Anlage und dem perfekten Urlaub für uns. Die schöne Hotelanlage, das Luxury Seafront Guest Zimmer mit Privat Pool, das Bony Fish Restaurant - unser Lieblingsrestaurant und das Langschläferfrühstück im Elemes Cretan Restaurant haben wir sehr genossen. Das Essen, die Sauberkeit, der Strand, alles, alles superschön und nur zu empfehlen!!! Schon beim Betreten fühlt man das herrlich schöne Gefühl von Urlaub. Die Rezeption empfing uns wieder sehr herzlich, war immer gut besetzt, für alle Fragen und Belange hatten alle immer ein offenes und sehr zuvorkommend Ohr. Es hat auch im Vergleich mit den Jahren zuvor nichts am hohem Standard, am Luxus, der Sauberkeit, des tollen Erlebnisses hier Gast sein zu dürfen, verloren!!! Unser Fazit ist wir kommen definitiv gerne wieder!

My second time visiting in less than a year! Absolutely love this hotel. The service is incomparable and the food is exquisite. Our favourite options were the traditional Cretan restaurant Elemes and the Seafood restaurant Bony Fish. The service and the cuisine were star-worthy in both. My advice? Take the staffs recommendations on dishes of the day. Lots to do in the hotel's complex such as shopping ( I spent too much money here!) and snorkelling in the sea. The spa stocks brands like Davines which thoroughly impressed me as it is a sustainable B-corp brand that I love. The most incredible sunrise and sunset views! Already dreaming of our next visit. My only minor comment is that I would have appreciated a later check out option. Currently late check out is only available until 12pm and I would have preferred to be able to spend a few extra hours in the room by our pool rather than waiting to leave.
