The check-in experience, handled by Iwanda, was excellent — warm, professional, and efficient. The property itself is very beautiful, with good food and a Kids Club offering plenty of engaging activities for children. However, we noticed a significant presence of ants in the room, which detracted from the overall comfort. More importantly, the hotel’s unwillingness to extend the check-out time — fixed at 11:00 AM — for guests with flights later in the day was disappointing. The only alternative offered was a 30-minute shower slot before departure. As frequent guests of luxury hotels around the world, we have never encountered such a rigid approach, especially in a property of this category. If this is indeed the hotel’s intended policy, it is an important factor for travelers to consider when choosing their stay.

10/10 Hotel. Selbst in der Hauptsaison hat sich das Hotel angefühlt als ob man in der Nebensaison da ist. Das Essen hat Sterne Niveau, absolut top

We were there to relax during a wedding we were attending. Never antipated the place to be overrun by children. we could not even get in the pool.

This is a beautiful Crete hotel. Old world ferl and charm . Very nice people. Cant go wrong

The exquisit stay

We stayed in the garden apartment with our son. Everything was great. We especially enjoyed the great food, the service and the care for children at this accommodation. The kids club was really something which offered a lot for little ones (ours is 3) and we always felt comfortable around the facilities. We felt that the massage was a bit expensive for what it was.

Amazing service

Alt var perfekt

Gorgeous hotel, service was perfect. Any little problem that could have been solved was immediately fixed by staff. Public areas and rooms were immaculately clean. Best hotel breakfast I’ve ever seen with 30 trays of hot and probably 50 cold dishes. Pool area and beach were lovely and relaxing. The one warning I would have is that the pool area is very slippery and dangerous. There are few handrails (really only one) so it’s hard to enter and exist safely. I saw several people slip. I would recommend visiting other local hotels for lunch and dinner. The restaurant is nice but is very expensive relative to the local area.

Superbe hôtel de 70 suites seulement, toutes récentes et superbes. Accueil personnalisé exceptionnel. Excellente animation musicale jazz le soir. Seuls le bar manque vraiment de chaleur et de tapas apéro, le dîner est vraiment trop cher pour un buffet, et un employé de piscine a vraiment été inconvenant.

Beautiful hotel located midway between Heraklion and Chania. Loved the beach and restaurant. Our room was amazing with our own pool and fireplace in our private outdoor area. Staff couldn't have been nicer. Loved Rethymno's old town which was a short cab drive away. Would highly recommend this hotel.

Excellent service and staff so nice! Super kids friendly but also good for adults and couples.

Great property and staff, access by car could be better indicated from the road.

Amazing stay with very good facilities for the families. The staff in the kids club was fabulous and kept the kids wanting to go back. Also loved the kids buffet in the afternoon Aside from family facilities the restaurant served very good food, the pool and beach was great as well The service on the beach could do with a little improvement in terms of people serving

This is a spectacular property with an incredible team of people that took care of our every need! We loved our stay here and would definitely come back. I will miss the wonderful staff who made us feel like home.

A beautiful hotel. The staff is very polite, helpful and friendly. We enjoyed our stay a lot and will certainly come back to Caramel. Thanks!!!

The hotel is new and has all the facilities you need for a hotel. It is quite and with a lot of space. The food could be better according to the price level of the food.

Great hotel with excellent service. Feels like coming home. A minus point is unpleasant bottom is the sea. There are much better beaches on the island

I loved everything about this hotel; from the ”welcome!” to the ”hope to see you soon again!” Very friendly staff, excellent housekeeping and absolutely stunning rooms and gardens. Located right on the beach, and has a really nice poolarea. It is familyfriendly but even still a nice, quiet luxurious hotell. I was upgraded to a room with a terrace with a jacuzzi (that I never got around to use, sadly) and I could never ask for a lovelier room! The gym is one area that could improve; it is on the smaller scale and it lacked music and atmosphere. This vacay will stay with me for a long time. Yes- it is pricey but worth every penny.
