Analipsi hotels

Just came back from holiday in Venus Apartment's Crete. Beautiful rooms. The resort of Analipsi is not fully developed yet, which is great for quieter holidays. I would highly recommend hiring a car for a day or two, although check the car before leaving the rental shop (as ours had two flat tyres and one spare wheel being driven on!) Greek drivers are..very..angry drivers!! and watch out for pot holes, especially when on Scooters. Koutouloufari, just beyond Hersonissos is a must see, as is Lasithi Plateau. I would also highly recommend Hania, and booking the Spinalonga Day trip at the local tourist information centre. Choose the BBQ option, and prepare to have a fantastic day, and an excellent guided tour. We didnt spend a single day lazing on the beach, there's far too much to do!! Hania is also beyond beautiful. The older town of Hania is just breathtaking. My partner and I are only 20, have never driven on any motorway before but we averaged 3 and a half hours to Hania on the New Motorway. Book any day trips in advance though, as we missed the opportunity of doing the Samaria Gorge by leaving it too late.

BEAUTIFUL LOCATION, EXCELLENT SERVICE SMILING PEOPLE ALWAYS READY TO HELP.

Great hotel, great staff, great food. We stayed there as family of two adults and two kids, using two separate rooms. Hotel is settled in a large area and has its own pools, outdoor theater, large pool bar / snacks area, tennis courts, beach, all inclusive restaurant, supermarket, gym and other facilities. First two days were very windy, we could not use the sea as the hotel is located on the north of the island and as the winds blew from the north, there were lot of waves but we enjoyed the (very large) pool, water slides and other facilities in the hotel, also we were able to rent a car and do sightseeing in the island. On the rest of the days as the wind stopped, we were able to enjoy the sea as well. Throughout the whole stay the whole hotel was very clean, very well maintained, food was top quality with lots of choices in meat, fish, poultry, vegetarian and other Mediterranean dishes. Food and drinks were all inclusive, and unlike other all inclusive deals which may have lower quality, this had top quality in food. Staff was very kind, they served food and drinks for long hours, the whole facility was properly maintained, starting from early hours in the morning. We would definitely recommend it for everyone, especially families who are looking for a great Mediterranean holiday.

We stayed for a week in October. We were a party of 8, including a 7 month old baby. As mentioned in earlier reviews, the hotel and its premises are beautiful! The official pictures almost do not do it justice. The rooms, pool area, reception and a la carte restaurants are all classy and elegant. We spent most of the time at the pool, and the atmosphere was one of relaxation and calm, no rowdy holiday makers getting drunk! Some staff were great, but some were not at all interested in helping you have a more pleasant holiday. The staff at the creperie were lovely, as was the restaurant co-ordinator. Food was to a relatively high standard, with plenty of choice for even fussy eaters (we had a vegetarian in our group who was very happy with the food).
