They always had such a great selection for every taste. - there’s a lot of options of things to do and activities. - the massage was really good! And I thought, decently priced. - the evening entertainment was always fun. They got some great acts and the resident performers were absolutely lovely, and very good to watch.

Pros: Nice beach Great entertainment team (especially events for kids!) Yoga lessons Great SPA (and very receptive to feedback) Great Italian restaurant (must visit)
Cons: Too packed (difficult to find table in restaurant and too noisy) View from our room (we paid extra for a view) Staff in restaurant is tired Booked sun beds both one the beach and by the pools :( Crete taverna (outside of the hotel) was a big disappointment

Cons: - The cocktails need a lot of work. I never thought you could get a Cuba Libre so wrong until I went to Agapi... - the room was very outdated. I felt like I was on a cruise ship in the 70s (and not in a cool stylish way...)
9.2 Excellent
Pros: - nice staff - great location - nice hotel area - rich offer within all inclusive
Cons: - the choice of food practically did not change - water in the children's pool was too cold
7.9 Good
Pros: Food and drinks were ok, breakfast is better than the other meals. The restaurants with the reservation are better than the common one. Also the restaurant outside the hotel was really good too. The alcoholic drinks are non known labeled but ok to drink.
Cons: The seafront rooms are not sea front actually. You can see the sea like %5 percent when you go to the balcony. Faulty naming of these rooms at all. Not good not worth to buy them, go with the cheaper ones. They are near the sea okay but not sea front or whatever.

Pros: We came back Agapi Beach after 3 years, and we weren't disappointed again. The resort keeps its high standards at everything, from food to facilities. It's just perfect for traveling with kids. We will come back again.
Cons: Some of the entertainment program feels a little retro (trivia quizzes, bingo, movie nights), this has some nice charm to it, but I would expect something more suitable for 2019.
10.0 Excellent
Pros: Very calm place, excellent to come with small children. Has it's own beach and three pools, also has good restaurants and free bars.
Cons: I would like to have an electric kettle in my room, sugar, coffee and tea bags so I could make my own coffee in the morning without going to main restaurant.
8.8 Excellent
Pros: The beach, friendly staff, the food, entertainment, the spa
Cons: Wifi in the room, bed, bathroom of the room

Pros: The staff were happy, smiling and willing to cater to any needs/requests. The food in the restaurants was impeccable, always fresh ingredients with a good selection of Greek and international food. The packed lunches were good too. Light, nothing fancy but quite adequate. The room was cleaned everyday with fresh bed linen and towels. The beach towel service was very handy and a special thank you to the two ladies, Valentina and Ansi, at the resort's spa where we enjoyed a full body scrub and hot oil massage, foot and neck complete relaxation massage and an amazing facial lifting with natural Cretan oils and creams at a very reasonable price. Minas, the main bar barman and Vlad were also fantastic and with all the people here still remembered from one day to the next what we usually ordered to drink and where we had said we were going the evening before. Overall a very welcome relaxing week. Absolute nothing to complain about.

Cons: Not the resort's fault, but we prefer a compact sandy access to the sea. The beach is sandy but there are stones to overcome when entering the sea.
6.3 Good
Pros: The food was OK
Cons: The night time entertainment was dreadful. The rooms were very basic with no pictures on the walls to break up the blandness.
6.7 Good
Pros: Friendly staff.
Cons: Old tired furniture , every where looked as if it could do with a coat of paint, door to the balcony was missing parts of it. could not get wifi in the bedroom - had to go out on the balcony to get any reception, food was always only luke warm, afternoon tea was a few sliced cakes and a plate of biscuits, sitting area inside was like sitting in a doctors waiting room, no flowers or plants - everything seemed to be cut back . Cost per night was too high for the quality of accommodation.

Cons: The landscape is marred by the huge chimneys of the electric plant.. The food in the dining room while plentiful and varied was not all that tasty.. especially at the meat dishes at dinner. The mattress was uncomfortable...
8.8 Excellent
Pros: Very good facilities - we enjoyed the pool and the beach access. The restaurants were also incredibly good and reasonably priced - the staff working at the Greek and Italian restaurants in particular were lovely.
Cons: I found that there were never enough people working at reception, which made it frustrating when we had to wait for over 20mins for a brief question. The staff in the breakfast area were also quite rude - they were more obsessed with clearing tables than actually noticing that we had left stuff at our table to go and get more food. We were not particularly impressed to come back to find another couple sitting there. We were also supposed to get a free 15min massage but were unable to do so as no one was there to actually help us book.

Pros: Almost everything! Especially the friendly helpful staff! Great options for kids- pools slides games beach.. lots of food options.. close to many places..

Pros: The place is very nice. It has everything you need for a good vacation: Sun, sea, amazing food, bar, garden. Very welcoming staff. The food is so great! The beds were comfortable. Overall we enjoyed our stay a lot.
Cons: A lot of families with kids there, so if you want a quiet and romantic time spend with your partner it is not quite a place for you in this occasion.
5.1 Okay
Pros: The food here was pretty good. The pool was nice and deep. Our room was huge.
Cons: We booked a day at the spa and were forced to cancel with plenty of notice. The spa clerk began berating us about how bad it is for them that we cancelled. She then proceeded to yell at us and accused us of not having enough money for the spa. (We had already paid...) I brought this matter to the front desk and they did not care. That is not the mentality of a 5 star hotel. Then again, I don’t believe that this is a true 5 star. I would say it rates at a solid 4 star. Most definitely wouldn’t recommend staying here due to the attitude of the staff.
10.0 Excellent
Pros: A very nice hotel located in the beautiful park of exitic trees, cery close to the beach, good and attentive personnel, excellent food. My thanks tho the personnel and management.
Cons: The only minus the sea was still cold, another minus, the beach is not sandy, in a meter after the water edge begins a rocky (although) flt surface. All the rest was good.
