Rating & Review Keseluruhan Fodele Beach & Water Park Holiday Resort - All Inclusive

All was good

.

We went to Fodele for my 50th birthday and it was wonderful! The seafront rooms were gorgeous, the grounds all look very modern, and the views were stunning. I love waterslides and they were so much fun! Pools are nice, and the beach is spectacular. Only drawbacks: the à la carte dining. The buffet actually tasted better than the à la carte, particularly the Italian restaurant. And sadly, the Greek restaurant forgot to bring us cake or do anything for my birthday as my husband had arranged. Still, overall, a very nice resort. Would recommend.

Logement assez grand, par contre une seule chambre dans le logement alors que l'intitulé en stipulait 2, la deuxième étant en fait le salon (donc non cloisonnée). En ce qui concerne le ménage, les serviettes de toilette sont repliées mouillées et remises sur les étagères ainsi que les tapis de bain quand il y en a. Buffet très bien, très varié.

Wonderful Hotel with good quality food, proefessional and motivated staff with a smile. Had a great room that was spacious and quiet. All inclusive at its best with high quality drinks (real aperol!, and not a cheap alternative)

The best vacation we have ever had.

WI’m nderful staff and amenities

The hotel is like home, offering everything for everyone. Staff are amazing and hardworking in this heat. I would definitely comeback.

Es war einfach das rundum sorglos Paket und wir kommen auf jeden Fall wieder!

Goede ligging, direct aan zee. Mooi zwembad en leuke bar buiten. Vriendelijk personeel!

Beautiful hotel with amazing staff. Clean room, great beach, amazing food and drinks, loved the bar outside with great staff, great pool and great entertainment, especially for the kids.

Zusammengefasst ein gutes Hotel, was keine Wünsche offen lässt. Sehr viel Familien mit Kindern.

The hotel is kept very clean, the staff is amazing, the variety of food, the beach and water park ! You cannot ask for a better hotel to enjoy a quiet vacation with family and friends ! We felt safe and welcomed every single day

Klasse Hotel. Sehr unaufdringlich und freundlich.

Great location; ideal for exploring Heraklion, Knossos, Rethymno areas (with a car). Staff were friendly. The food was plentiful, good and varied. The water slides were loads of fun. The cleanliness of the room was fine, but not spotless.

Mycket trappor dåligt med hiss och svårt med barnvagen finns ingen köp centrum närheten närmaste i bilen 30 minuter. Det var Jätte varmt i runmet. Annars jätte fint hotell emot havet fint utsikt bra servers personal som jobbar väldigt trevliga och snälla, dessutom maten var god.

This definitely isn’t a 5 star hotel, though we a good time and there positives: -The room feels new and is a decent size but balcony is small. Cleaning is OK -The food is great -Alcohol is really good from the main bars in the evening (premium brands, good selection) -The beach and waterpark are great -The staff are friendly BUT, there are many things that we’ve never experienced at a 5 star hotel and that would stop us staying again : - The swimming pool isn’t big enough for the number of guests; lots of people were arguing with reception about it. The sun loungers are crammed in next to each other and you can’t get them most of the time - it resembles a 3 star hotel in Benidorm. (the beach is better and we paid €30 for a cabana most days to have a good spot) -There is no drinks service by the pool or, more importantly, in any of the restaurants. If you want water at breakfast, wine at dinner, or a juice for your child, you have to go and queue for someone to serve you. They do bring water to your table at dinner but the staff are too busy and sometimes miss you. I’ve never known this in a 5, or even 4 star hotel. It's attrotious -There are lots of extra charges such as for ice cream or cocktails on the beach -There is no iron in the room and no way of getting one. Again, We’ve never known this in an hotel, let alone 5 star Overall, our child loves it but we wouldn’t stay again and don’t think it is good value for money (€400 a night)

We had overall a nice stay at Fodele beach. Positives: water park is great- very well organised and with lots os different slides and pools. It is the highlight of the hotel. Staff is nice and the entertainment team is absolutely fantastic- the best I have ever seen in hotels. Lots of entertainment options and evening shows. Beach is nice - not the most scenic but the water is warm and calm most days. Hotel is close to the airport (30min) which is very convenient. Negatives: hotel is built on a hill so be prepared to spend the whole day going up and down. Some parts of the hotel felt a bit tired and not 5 stars. For example the bathrooms by the pools. The lockers for the bathroom doors are dodgy and I got stuck twice and had to be released by people outside. The food could be better. There are lots of options on the main restaurant but generally food is oily. The wifi in the rooms doesn’t work. We moved rooms on the first night because of that but new room closer to reception was only marginally better. Staff drives around on golf carts which doesn’t feel safe for kids to walk around. Also the golf cart’s brake undid when we were removing our bags from it and almost hit our son. Lucky it was just a scare but it could have been serious.

Crete was the third stop on our trip and we were so excited to check out this amazing waterpark resort overlooking the Aegean Sea. Overall the resort is ok. Things we loved: Staff was very friendly and helpful, Room was big and loved having 2 bathrooms, Waterpark was very fun, Beach was beautiful and the views even better. Loved the daily entertainment, we have never laughed harder than we did at the resort comedy show. Quick taxi ride from the Ferry Port or Airport. Things we wish were different: It is an All-inclusive that is mostly self service, you serve yourself everywhere you go, have to get your own food, your own drinks, no towel, drink or food service at the beach or the pools. Felt like a self service resort which was very odd to us for a 5-star hotel . Food was the same everyday and got very boring very quickly, reservations for the only 2 other restaurants were very inconvenient and difficult to make, plus wines were not included in the restaurant reservations. The enormity of the resort also makes it a bit exhausting to go from one end to the other.

We liked the private beach and layout of the property
