Kástellos Holidays from €780

The biggest thing that stood out to me was the amazing selection of food! There was so much to choose from at the buffet and it was mostly Greek themed which is what you want when visiting Greece! The food at the restaurants were also delicious. The beach was another highlight- there were plenty of chairs and sand was beautiful. We visited the spa and it was really good, worth the money! The only downside I can think of is that there was a lot of pushing to spend more money. We chose the all inclusive resort because we didn’t want to have to worry about going over budget, but you really get the bare minimum for the base price. There was a small menu of free drinks at the bar, others that you would have to pay for. At the first restaurant we visited we wanted to have the free Cretan red wine with our food but the waiter brought us a white wine that ended up costing 20 euros (it might have been a language barrier issue). And the main bar said it was open until 1am, but when we went after 11pm they said it “costs extra”. It wasn’t a big deal, just something I noticed. The staff though were very friendly and seemed to enjoy themselves which makes it more fun for everyone!

We had a wonderful stay at the Ariadne Beach Hotel. Everything was perfect from start to finish. The staff were friendly and helpful, nothing was too much trouble. Our room was clean and well equipped with terrific views of Mirabello Bay. We were half-board and the food was fantastic and the waiting staff just lovely. The beautiful Gargadoros beach is only a short stroll away on which we spent many happy days. We will definitely be returning!

We had a lovely stay. It was end of season and the resort was only half full, they were also closing a day early so had arranged our transfer to another hotel at no cost to ourselves. In addition because of this we were upgraded. The staff were extremely helpful and welcoming. This was really useful when arranging days out (make sure you have cash!). The resort was quiet and only one Ala carte restaurant was still open (it was good). I really liked the private beach and the bar was great, especially with having light snacks as well. It was nice to get nuts etc at other bars as well when having a drink in the evening. The facilities are a little care worn, clearly some maintenance required, did worry I was taking my life in my hands with the power socket in our room, it was very loose and the sink felt a little unsteady. The food was good standard buffet, so a night after a couple of days is required. It's a very short walk to the village beach front which has sufficient choice even at this time of year. I would certainly like to go again and see what it is like at a busier time, but great if you like the piece and quiet at end of season.

Beautiful place to stay in mid to late May as it is so quiet. Having a personal pool was over the top. Breakfast every morning was delicious

Beautiful property, excellent staff, great food Private pool was amazing
