The location is amazing with a beautiful creek perfect for snorkelling. Beautiful views of the sea from all over the resort. Stairs to go up the rock and a 30 minutes hike give access to a beautiful beach - Damnoni where some nice restaurants can be found. The staff from Kalypso were very friendly also.

The rooms could use some renewing of the facilities and the bathrooms are old style. I would be ready to pay a little more to have newer facilities. I would have also liked to have an “a la carte” restaurant as the only possibility to eat is at all inclusive, so at some point you get fed up. The main pool was dirty even though the staff did consistent efforts to clean it up every day

The hotel is located in a beautiful and quiet spot, surrounded by cliffs. It features a private, sheltered rocky bay ideal for swimming and snorkeling. The breakfast and dinner were both good, and there are plenty of activities, such as diving, yoga sessions, and evening entertainment. It’s also an excellent base for exploring the southern coast, whether by rental car or through the many organized trips offered by the hotel. For those who enjoy hiking, both Plakias and Amundi Beach are reachable by foot.

The place has a nostalgic 1970s vibe, but could benefit from some renovation or, at the very least, better maintenance and cleaning. In certain areas, like the small streets, dirt was swept into piles but left there for days without being collected. The restaurant service was not well organized, with waiters lacking coordination. Overall, the hotel would greatly improve with better management to address the lack of structure among seasonal and temporary staff.

You have the opportunity to have access to an amazing hotel for a cheap price. The location cannot be better, the creek is simply amazing. The pool with the bar is very nice with incredible views. The room is big and nice, and the bed very comfortable. The buffet is surprisingly good. There's lot of cool activities. It looks like a 5 star resort that downgraded to 4 star. It makes it very good for the price.

The bathroom is bad, it seems it hasn't been reformed since the 80s. The staff is very nice and helpful but there's very few of them. Don't expect a Cretan/Greek experience but more of a resort one.

Best value for your money that we found on Crete. Clean pools, great ocean access, large rooms with views and good food. The facilities are dated but great value for your nightly rate. The staff are amazing very helpful and professional.

Property does need updating but if they did you would pay three times the price.

The location was amazing. All the facilities were good - think they were getting ready for the summer. The bathroom was quite cramped but didn't really effect us that much - the rest of the room was good. The views were amazing.

The pool bar was rubbish. They could do so much more - eg cocktails - frozen drinks etc etc. Instead we were given drinks in very flimsy plastic cups. It then just closed and nothing else seemed to be open. The bar in the hotel was circa 1980 - cringey and soul less. I noticed that any young people staying at the resort went somewhere else ie got a taxi into Plakias. The breakfast was made a few hours before - just left - and was cold. Great choices but absolutely COLD!

Beatifull place, resort is really well located. Nice swimming pools with salt water. Resort is ideal place for snorkeling or diving. You need a car to travel around, there is "nothing" around resort in walkable distance. Room OK, no kitchen in our room just fridge. Breakfast/lunch/dinner in form of buffet, plenty of food, quality average. Late check-out (12pm)

Would be good to have at least basic kitchen equipment. Quality of food could be a bit higher. Stronger WiFi - it works well close to the reception but farther rooms/places are without signal.

I think those negatively reviewing the hotel aren’t bearing in mind its very low price point! If you want a shiny new hotel (as a lot of the reviewers seem to), it’s going to cost you considerably more! Large clean room with a fantastic sea view. Beautiful setting with a gorgeous cove that’s brilliant for swimming/snorkelling. 3 pools with plentiful loungers set in lovely gardens. Good buffet meals (particularly liked the huge choice of salads at dinner, you’d be well catered for as a veggie/vegan). Friendly welcoming staff. Quiet surroundings but with Plakias only 10 minutes drive or a 30 minute walk away. Rock climbing in the car park and plenty of beautiful walks from the hotel!

Mattress not the comfiest. Bathroom quite hectic with a lot of perhaps unnecessary fixtures! Would’ve loved fresh juice at breakfast, but given the price point, concentrate was fine.

This was our second stay at Kalypso and we find everything great value for money. As we're do not spend alot of time at the resort other than sleeping and breakfast it is perfect for needs. The rooms are large with fantastic sea views and breakfast had a nice variety. I find the ladies on reception to be lovely and willing to help with any requests.

My only complaint is the wifi as there is no access to wifi or mobile phone service in the room, you need to visit the pool or reception are to gain any access. Having said that once you arrive and see the amazing location it makes sense there is an issue with Internet access. Other than that no other issues.

beautiful and big room, hotel located in very nice area

looks like nothing been renovated since couple years

the scenery

the room is very old, shower not very safe, because water goes all over. water staid on the floor when we took showers. drain was not big enought.
