Buffet is clean, delicious, well sorted out and reasonably expansive. I wished omelette line is easier and faster. But there are variety of egg preparation so I went to get other egg dish for breakfast. There are themed supper every night whether it is Italian, Asian or Arabian. All good.

Nice stay
Nice stay. I've been in many all inclusive hotels ad I reckon that there is room for improvement on the food. The food wasn't bad at all, but in other all inclusive hotels I have found it much better, even in the area of Crete.

Generaly, it is a good place to stay. The only problem we found some ants inside the room and we saw one ant in the bed.
We reported it to the management, they just sent someone to do further cleaning.
I know the hot weather is a good environment for ants but it should not be inside the rooms.
They need to treat ants properly to keep them outside the rooms.
I had torn my achilles tendon just before my stay here so accessibility was an issue to some degree. No rooms had ramps or had ground floor accessibility. Other than that, the staff were great, breakfast was fantastic. Lunch was meh, dinner was really nice at the stone restaurant. My family had rented a car so we were a short 20 min drive into old town Chania which was gorgeous.

Could improve customer service
Whenever you needed help from receptionist the English was suddenly not very good. Once they needed payment or anything in their favor English was perfect.

The key feature of this resort are the pools. There is one large U-shaped one surrounding some restaurants, and many shallow ones near the buildings which house the rooms. The majority of guests seemed to be families with small children. The pools themselves are clean, but it didn't seem like too much attention was paid to cleaning the area surrounding the pools.
The rooms were nice and included a mini-kitchen. There was a very nice porch overlooking the pools. There were some minor maintenance issues such as a noisy fridge and a door handle which was coming loose. The cleaning of the rooms could have been improved.
The beach was pretty, but somewhat dusty and very rocky.
The main cafeteria was okay. They tried to provide a large variety of foods but a lot of that was deserts. There were never any meals that I was particularly enthused about. In the end, we started taking a taxi into the neighboring town which had a large number of restaurants rather than to eat at the cafeteria.
The main drawback of the hotel for me was its isolation. It is not really in a tourist area. A sister hotel is next door. There are 2 small markets near the lobby, but they mostly sell souvenirs. Still helpful to buy snacks, water, sunscreen or wine. There is a tram which stops outside the lobby "The little train" which conducts tours of the surrounding countryside, which was worthwhile.
If I were to return to the area, I think I would try another resort in the neighboring town.
Så otroligt fint hotell och varierad mat. Varje dag var det ett nytt tema så vi tröttnade inte på maten. Välskött fint hotell.
Absolut ingenting att klaga på!
Mycket fint rum, bra städning, god lunch och middag. Jättefina pooler.

Det finns Caldera Beach och Caldera Paradise, de är syskonhotell med samma ägare. Råkade bli fel med resebolaget när vi bokade så att vårt sällskap hamnade på de olika hotellen. Hotellen ligger vägg i vägg, man kan inte nyttja buffén på det andra hotellet, vilket var tråkigt för att vi ville äta tillsammans. Hotellpersonalen var snabbt på att finna en lösning så att hela sällskapet hamnade på samma hotell. Vårt hotellrum var väldigt fint, nytt och fräscht. Buffén var bra och snackbaren likaså. Polerna var många och fanns alltid en som passade någon. Gott om olika aktiviteter som anordnas av hotellen. Gymmet var väldigt dåliga. Väldigt trevligt personal, både i receptionen till de som jobbade i de olika restaurangerna. Stranden var lite stenig men väldigt fin och hyfsat grund. Rekommenderar detta hotellet väldigt mycket!
Huone oli siisti, siivoajat kävivät päivittäin. Muutenkin yleisiä tiloja, allasalueita yms. siivottiin jatkuvasti.
Henkilökunta oli ystävällistä (esim. henkilökunta kantoi laukut huoneeseen). Aamupala, lounas ja päivällinen olivat monipuolisia ja jokaiselle löytyi jotain. Skandinaaviseen makuun ruokailuajat olivat aika myöhäiset mutta siihen tottui viikon aikana. Ja muihinkin aikoihin sai jotain pienempää purtavaa, jos oli nälkä esim. ennen lounasaikaa/illallista.
Hotelli oli täynnä lapsiperheitä pohjoismaista. Nuoria tai aikuisia ilman lapsia vähän.
Iltaohjelma aika olematon mutta muuten puuhaa alueella riitti paljon (esim. jooga, padel, minigolf, rantalentis, lasten uimakoulu, pelihuone yms.) Myös pieni melko vaatimaton kuntosali. Hieno ranta aurinkotuoleineen.
Allasalueita paljon ja vieressä myös vesipuisto. Pari pientä kauppaa vieressä.
Hotellin vastaanoton vieressä päivystää joka päivä autovuokraamo speed wheels, josta auton vuokraaminen helppoa ilman omavastuuta.
Chanian vanhaan kaupunkiin taksi maksoi 20-30 eur, lentokentälle n. 50 eur. Uber tms. eivät toimi Chaniassa. Hotellin edestä mahdollisuus lähteä myös tuktuk-junaretkille.
Huonetta varatessa kannattaa huomioida, että alue on iso ja esim. aamupalalle ja rantaan vähän matkaa, jos sattuu olemaan alueen toisessa laidassa. Ja jos rappuset tuottaa ongelmia, huolehdi, että huone maan tasolla.
Olimme toista kertaa kyseisessä hotellissa, joten tiesimme mitä odottaa. Hotelli onnistui kuitenkin ylittämään odotukset:
1. palvelu oli parantunut huikeasti etenkin vastaanotossa
2. saimme kahden makuuhuoneen 2-kerroksisen huoneiston, vaikka olimme varanneet yhden makuuhuoneen huoneiston
3. hotelliin oli rakennettu lisää altaita, joten aurinkotuoleja riitti todella hyvin kaikille pitkin päivää
Ruoka oli parempaa, kuin monessa muussa allinclusive paikassa, joissa olemme olleet.
Altaat olivat kivoja ja lapset tykkäsivät vesipuistostakin.
Huoneet olivat siistejä ja ne siivottiin jokaisena päivänä. Ainoa miinus, että huoneen terassiakin olisi voinut siistiä.
Rannalla emme kauheasti käyneet, koska tuuli sen verran, mutta hotellin rantakin oli oikein kiva.
Henkilökunta oli oikein mukavaa ja kaikki toimi erinomaisesti.
Vattenlandet var väldigt uppskattat av barnen och det ingick i al inklusive. Goda drinkar och mat.
Enda negativa var att maten inte var speciellt varm.

Det var et godt hotel med god rengøring og god mad. Det ville være dejligt, hvis der var en opvarmet pool, da bølgerne i havet var så store, mens vi var der, at vi ikke kunne være på stranden, og vandet i poolen var meget koldt. Meget venligt personale.
