The hotel features a variety of restaurants, a well-equipped gym, and regularly organized events, including BBQ nights, lobster nights, live music, and DJs to suit all tastes. The staff is exceptionally friendly, and the pool is a good size with massage beds etc This was our first stay, and we are looking to return. The hotel met all our needs and offered a truly relaxing experience. Definitely recommend.

It is generally a problem when guests reserve beds next to the pool early in the morning and then leave them unoccupied for much of the day. This practice can be frustrating for other guests who would like to use these areas. Many hotels address this issue by implementing policies to ensure fair access to poolside amenities, such as setting time limits on unattended towels or reserving loungers. The hotel must take actions regarding this matter.

Apart from all 10 points above, I must say that fitness room is just wonderful, clean, spacious, with all necessary equipment. Service was excellent. Upon late arrival staff took care and left us some sandwiches in the fridge. Also, because of our honeymoon, we found a fruit basket with champagne and honey desert. When I asked if they had softer pillows, as I felt my pillow was a bit too hard, they delivered to the room a soft and comfortable pillow for me straight away. Overall, everything was just perfect: cleaning, service, beach. I don’t think you need more for a perfect and relaxing vacation. We will come again! Thank you!!!

Food would require more passion to make it perfect and up for 5 stars. Good in general, but we were missing the “local Greek taverna experience”

This is our second time staying at Amira hotel and it was absolutely amazing. The staff are so professional and so friendly. Our room was gorgeous, beautiful views. Our cleaner worked hard and was so lovely too. The pool is wonderful, so clean. The beach service and towel service is great. The life guard is brilliant too. Everyone’s taste is catered for at breakfast. This is a special place that we were so so sad to leave.

The pool was cold but it’s expected in November!

Amazingly friendly staff, we received a free room upgrade to the executive suite after booking a jacuzzi room. The onboarding experience was exceptional and the staff went the extra mile in every way. They even let us check out later to not be inconvenienced with the transfer.

Sea at the private beach has a stone ground and has lots of waves unfortunately, cocktails are good but not exceptional, included buffet meal (not a la carte) is good but not exceptional.

Amazing experience My stay at Amira hotel was absolutly great. The hotel is brand new, meaning all the facilities are in a perfect shape. It is even better than the photos. Best of all is the staff, very kind, helpful, smiling,  dedicated to your needs and to make your stay the best possible. I had the good surprise to be upgraded (without asking maybe due to low season?) to a room with sea front view, which was absolutly great. The room is decorated with taste, cleanned every day, with good bedding. The swimming pool area is really nice, and the access to the beach is easy. There is also an inside heated pool, very nice. The beach is clean, has a beautiful view on the mountains on the west, the water is really clean and safe. You can see a beautiful sunset every day. The main restaurant included in the half board is good from my experience of such hotels: tasty, varied and fresh. I strongly recommand the "gourmet" restaurant, the Kritamo: excellent food and large portions with a top class service. The spa is beautiful, good massages, great staff. You can also enjoy sauna and hammam for free, just need to make a booking. It has been a long time I didn't enjoy such a good stay and such a high value for price, thank you very much to all the Amira Team.

Great room great view best pool we have had on any of our stays abroad

Nothing

Overall this is a great resort! The rooms are very comfortable, the indoor and outdoor pools are great, the beach is right there and it’s a nice one. You’re also close to supermarkets and shops, and the next town is only a 10/15 min drive.

We went in April and we booked the room with the jacuzzi on the balcony on purpose knowing we wouldn’t be able to use the outdoor pool. As there’s no cover on the jacuzzi, it never went above 30/32 degrees. This is a massive letdown that could be solved quite easily! We were not able to use the jacuzzi because of that… The food is also very average. You’ll have choice with the breakfast buffet, but the quality is not up to the standard of a 5 star hotel.

The jacuzzi outside of the room was amazing, went up to 40°C. The half board was very worth it for the price, and they kept refilling our glasses with fresh-pressed orange juice during breakfast. Free parking for our rental car, just a short drive from Rethymno, private beach with comfortable beach loungers, heated indoor pool. Overall amazing stay, would definitely come back!

Housekeeping was great and very thorough but no one ever checked on the jacuzzi, meaning it was getting dirty and the water started evaporating. By day 3 we had to start refilling it ourselves from the sink so the water would reach the outflow. Not a huge issue but could see it being a problem if we had stayed much longer. Their app seems great for ordering food to the pool or beach but wasn’t working when we were there.

Our recent stay at the Amira Luxury Resort & Spa was nothing short of extraordinary. This 5-star haven offers an unparalleled experience that redefines luxury and comfort in every sense. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by the genuinely warm and welcoming smiles of the staff. Their dedication to providing top-notch service was evident in every interaction, making us feel truly special and well-cared for. Each member of the team, from the reception to the housekeeping staff, exuded professionalism and kindness, ensuring that our stay was flawless. The cleanliness of the resort is beyond impeccable. Every corner of the property, from the lush gardens to the elegant lobby and pristine rooms, was meticulously maintained. It was evident that the management prioritizes hygiene and cleanliness, which greatly contributed to our peace of mind and overall enjoyment. Our suite was a sanctuary of comfort and elegance, featuring modern amenities and breathtaking views. The room was spotlessly clean, with fresh linens and towels provided daily. The attention to detail in the room’s décor and maintenance was truly commendable, making it a perfect retreat after a day of exploration and relaxation. The culinary experience at Amira Luxury Resort & Spa deserves special mention. The dining options are diverse and cater to all tastes, with each dish prepared to perfection. The chefs clearly have a passion for their craft, as evidenced by the exquisite flavors and presentation of every meal. Breakfasts were a delightful start to our days, offering a vast array of options from freshly baked pastries to exotic fruits and gourmet dishes. The dinner service was equally impressive, with a menu that showcased both local and international cuisines, prepared with the finest ingredients. The resort's spa facilities were a highlight of our stay.

The fact it was very clean and new, all staff was extremely lovely and very welcoming. From my experience the pool and side sea view room was the best decision i make, the view was breathtaking.

To be honest everything was prefect and nothing to complain about.
