Reviewer Type: Solo Traveller
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: The location was excellent—just a short drive from Heraklion and conveniently close to key attractions like the Palace of Knossos and the Heraklion Archaeological Museum. On-site parking was a major plus and one of the main reasons I chose a resort just outside the city rather than staying in the town centre. The breakfast was enjoyable, offering a good variety to start the day, and the resort's private beach was beautiful and a lovely spot to relax.
Negative: Unfortunately, the reception and check-in experience was one of the worst I’ve encountered during my travels abroad, and certainly the most frustrating during my stay in Crete. When I booked through Booking.com, I paid in full, including taxes, as confirmed on my invoice. However, upon arrival, I was asked to pay additional charges for taxes. Despite showing them my Booking.com confirmation—which clearly indicated taxes were included—the staff insisted they had not received payment for them and requested a separate transaction. When I explained that every other hotel I stayed at in Crete included taxes within the original booking, I was simply told to contact Booking.com to resolve the issue. I tried to point out that the issue was not with Booking.com's process, but rather with the hotel’s own handling of bookings, but this was dismissed. In addition, the room I was given had a very strong smell of cigarette smoke, despite being advertised as non-smoking. It was extremely unpleasant. The room also lacked expected amenities—there was no shampoo or conditioner provided, only a razor, bar soap, and a shower cap. After a long day of sightseeing, I was looking forward to relaxing and watching some Netflix, but the television did not support streaming services or allow casting from a personal device, which was disappointing. Lastly, the gardens on the property were poorly maintained, with weeds growing throughout, which detracted from the overall presentation of the hotel.
Summary: Great Location, great breakfast, poor reception staff service, smelly room and unkept gardens

Positive: The staff was excellent. 10/10 for each n every staff member from reception to restaurant to concierge. Food was on point. We had booked half board. Buffet meals had enough n more variety so did not get repetitive. There were also 2 other ala carte options available, of which we tried the one next to the reception and it was excellent.
Negative: We had booked a Garden view room through booking.com, which wasn't exactly the way it was described and on checking in, there was clearly a lot of disappointment. It was for a family of 3 and it was too tight. There was no space to open the bags or to walk around. The bathroom had no space to move. It was clearly not what we expected and definitely not worth the money we paid and not upto 4 star standards. After staying there for a night we spoke to the reception staff and they were happy to upgrade us to much larger room. Highly recommend booking a better category room. The basic category isn't good enough.
Summary: Excellent staff, food and hospitality.

Positive: We had such a nice stay at Civitel, the Hardworking employees made such a huge difference! We enjoyed a wonderful week here, the Food was amazing, especially the dinner. The breakfast was good but repetitive. We had the chance to try lot of greek Food, in our opnion the greek evening was by far the best culinary experience. The hotel is super clean and organized. Mini Golf and Tennis free of charge. We were so grateful because they offered us late check out free of charge. This attitude and gestures make this hotel so special. It was our anniversary and they prepared our room with beautiful decoration. Overall a very nice hotel at the beach. The employees and their sprit make the place special! We would be back:)!
Negative: We have never experienced that in all inclusive only local soft drinks are included, if you wanted Coca Cola or Fanta you would need to pay extra. Local drinks were fine at the Main Restaurant but in the Main and Pool Bar they were terrible, neither sparkling nor cold. We have informed the Restaurant Manager and he took this Super politely as room for improvement and was happy for the honest Feedback. Lack of evening entertainment
Summary: Very welcoming and pleasant holiday, Crete is a truely magical.
