Hotel Kalyves Beach

The hotel was amazing

Vi reiste med 2 barn, hvor en er tenåring. Alle reisende var veldig fornøyd. Utrolig hyggelig og hjelpsom personale. Veldig god mat, godt utvalg, også allergivennlig. Mye grønnsaker og frukt, men også barnevennlig. Veldig god strand. Vi tok guidet utflukt til Elafonissi med IO travel (representert på hotellet). Anbefales på det varmeste. Utrolig hyggelig og kunnskapsrik, og veldig autentisk guide Dimitrios.

Hotel that works with tour operators. Families book for several days. You get the same kind of lousy food and entertainement as in the cheap cruise ships in the Baltic. For people just seeking sunand who don't care about making a difference when travelling.

Läget

Lots of kids, and very noisy hotel with activities happening right below the rooms. The positives were the kindness of staff & food choices.

Hotel assez mauvais séjour pour 2 adultes 1 enfant en all inclusive plus . A notre arrivée nous avons été "surclassé" dans une chambre vue piscine mais double . Impossible de changer nous avons ete forcé de dormir a 3 sur 2 lit simple collé ce qui est inacceptable . Le lendemain nous avons eu un lit supplémentaire d'une qualité épouvantable et très instable. Nous avons été obligé de faire un scandale pour avoir une chambre correct qui as donc fini par arriver le 3eme jour !!! . Le personnel est peu aimable mais serviable dans la limite de leur possibilité . Le ménage dans la chambre ressemble plus a du rangement qu'à du nettoyage. Le buffet varie chaque jour mais seulement sur une semaine comme les animations . La qualité est moyenne et nous avons été plusieurs a etre malade le même jour. Les boissons sont a fuir . Ne vous attendez pas a des jus pour les enfants ce sont des sirop très sucré. les boissons de "marque" mentionné ne sont que des marques locale donc pas de boisson standard (coca cola ,ice tea). Les cocktails sont mauvais, avec la "formule plus" ils sont un peu meilleurs mais les barman peuvent se montrer desagreable car c'est plus long a faire et qu'ils n'ont pas envie . Habitude grecque ou non le personnel se parle très mal entre eux voir se crie dessus public . C'est un hôtel calme et familial dans l'ensemble mais de tres mauvaise qualité pour le all inclusive. La plage et la vue sont tres bien

Questo albergo è stato sicuramente una bella esperienza! Ci siamo trovati benissimo fin dall’inizio. È diviso in due parti con una piccola stradina che lo collega al lungomare di Kalyves. Ha due piscine, due porzioni di spiaggia private, bar a bordo piscina e ristorante interno ed esterno con affaccio su un piccolo fiume che sfocia nel mare! Un’oasi di pace e relax! La struttura è ben organizzata ed offre anche la pensione completa che consiglio assolutamente. La sera trovate spettacoli per piccoli e poi per grandi. Buona cucina e per chi vuole anche una sala giochi ed una palestra! Avevamo la stanza migliore sopra la piscina e con l’affaccio sul mare, una meraviglia. Unico neo se proprio va trovato riguarda le pulizie in camera che andrebbero fatte meglio a mio avviso. Il resto TOP!

The staff seemed overwhelmed, dirty dishware sat out for hours on tables. The bathroom was mouldy in many locations, and there were nail clippings on the floor in both the bathroom and the room.

Séjour très reposant dans cet hôtel de Kalyves, proche de la Canée, mais aussi et surtout, à proximité des plages et des commerces de cette petite station balnéaire (restaurants, agences de location, excursions, etc.). La chambre, vue latérale mer, était spacieuse, à l'exception peut-être de la salle de bain, et plutôt au calme par rapport à celles situées face à la plage (elles donnent sur l'espace bar-piscine où ont lieu les animations le soir...). L'hôtel en soi est très correct et le personnel discret. Le buffet propose beaucoup de choix avec des plats locaux mais aussi du classique pour les enfants. Rien à dire niveau qualité-prix. Nous avons également apprécié les 2 piscines car la mer était très agitée avec de nombreuses vagues (drapeau rouge pour la baignade !). Mais il est possible de trouver un endroit plus calme en allant tout au bout de la plage, à 600 mètres environ de l'hôtel.

The hotel is perfect for a beachy, chilled holiday if that’s what you enjoy. The small town has some shops etc which is good and Chania is only a 30 minute drive away along with Souda which are beautiful towns. Especially the Chania markets! A must go to if you love a bargain! The hotel could be somewhat more clear on what is included etc. The hotel is amazing so don’t let that put you off but we were told the tourist charge was €10 euro per room, per night, which is correct but we were also charged extra and we’re unsure really what that was for. Also we have been twice to this hotel, the first time when booking we had the option available to go all inclusive plus but the second time that option wasn’t available until we arrived at the hotel and it was quite steep compared to the first time we visited the hotel and with not much difference to the basic all inclusive package. After all a gin and tonic is a gin and tonic be that from the local gin or branded big name gin. Overall though, lovely place to stay and the staff are amazing! So helpful and super polite! Will absolutely be back again!

The hotel is right on the beach with beautiful view. They offered an inclusive breakfast, lunch and dinner buffet. It was a large buffet but not a high quality food. We liked the variety of entertainment every night they offered.

Excellent location right on the beach. Great for families. Very quiet little town.

Nice place

I enjoyed our stay completely. I would ask for a Seaview because it was absolutely gorgeous. I would recommend this to everyone.

We had a really relaxing time at the Kalyves beach hotel. What wasn’t clear to us at booking was the “all inclusive” and “all inclusive welcome gift” option. We went for the latter which gave us the “all inclusive plus” package at the hotel and was well worth the small extra cost, giving us unlimited cocktails, room upgrade and discount on the spa. Excellent value for money and still easily got enough for us (27c) at the end of September. The buffet food selection was great for us too as we could pick and choose what we wanted. We loved the stay and the entertainment in the night arranged by Momo was excellent too. Everyone was so friendly and keen to help we felt so looked after and pampered! Fully recommended!

Pobyt w hotelu oceniam bardzo dobrze. Na bardzo duży plus zasługuje otoczeniu hotelu, bliskość pięknej plaży. Zawieszka można było znaleźć wolne leżaki zarówna na plaży jak i przy basenie. Wieczory w cudownej atmosferze. Koncerty na żywo z piękna muzyka były cudowne. Minus za jedzenie- bardzo monotonne. Brakowało jedzenia pod dzieci. Niektóre potrawy były słabej jakości. Za to sałatki, kurczak sosy itp były znakomite. Dla dorosłych (niezbyty wymagających) kuchnia jest ok. Gdyby miała ponownie wybierać- zdecydowanie wybrałabym Kalyves Beach Hotel!

Veldig bra hotel. Trenger litt oppusing. Matten var greit. Hotellet var nær til butikker og stranden. Stranden var glimrende.

Highly recommended hotel that offered nice rooms, friendly staff and good food.

Staff was helpful and kind, enjoyed the evening traditional Cretan dance performance which was wonderful. Beach & pools were clean. Opted for the inclusive package, food and drinks with a family was great option with a family of 4. Balancing view of the sea was wonderful to wake up to in the morning. Only downfall on our whole time there was our air conditioning unit in our room was not as cool as we are used too. Overall would recommend this property.

Nice hotel for a 5 night stay. Most of the staff were great, Penelope (manager) was fab!! Our room was comfortable though incredibly hot and the A/C was not powerful enough to cool it, the staff kindly provided a plug in fan but still so hot night times were difficult, but I think it was because we were the end of a corridor and therefore had the sun on the exterior wall all day? Food options were good, generally a chicken, pork and fish option at each meal, pretty generic AI food but always something tasty available. Definitely worth upgrading to the higher level all inclusive as drinks options MUCH better with this. However there is only one bar and often only one member of bar staff on so were made to feel a bit guilty on occasion ordering cocktails. They definitely need more staff of an evening and/or another bar space. Location is great, right on the beach, with free sunbeds. Kalyves is a lovely little village to explore with lots of nearby beach bars and restaurants if you want a change of scenery, we hired a car one day to visit Kournas Lake (25 mins drive) using the lovely car hire company in the hotel. Nice gym, not hugely stocked, but suitable for a decent workout. There is also yoga/stretching each morning with the entertainment staff for something more gentle.
