Alikambos Holidays from £494

We arrived at the Alexis hotel after 2 am for our reservation for jukyb22nd 2024. I had called ahead to the property informing them that we had a late boat crossing and it would take us until after 1am for sure to get there and the lady I spoke to verified the reservation and said it was no problem for us to arrive late as the room was ALREADY PAID FOR thru Expedia. The boat was delayed arriving and it ended up being after 2am before we arrived. When we got there, there was no reception, we had to call a local phone number for someone to come and give us our keys…I though ok no biggie but when she arrived she proceeded to tell us very angrily that they did NOT have a reservation for us that was booked. I showed her my confirmation number through Expedia and then she proceeded to tell me that “we don’t deal with EXPEDIA and that there was no room available for the night” We were tired, and left with nowhere to stay so we had to sleep in our car which was neither SAFE nor COMFORTABLE. Upon talking to a few locals there and a few friends from home we heard horror story after horror story of them giving away peoples rooms that were paid for leaving customers in out situation. Upon requesting a refund from them the lady at the desk told us a flat out NO. I would SERIOUSLY RECONSIDER HAVING THEIR LISTING UNDER TOUR BANNER NAME. I use Expedia often without issue but this time I am out money and sleep 😡 Any help from you would be greatly appreciated Jason Pelley

Fabulous resort and staff! We really enjoyed our stay. The spa was amazing—-Chris is a terrific therapist! Everyone was great…Kiki was a stand out and helped us tremendously. Definitely recommend!!

We were so happy we stayed at this charming and sophisticated boutique hotel. It is a little gem in the heart of the historic area. Our room had wonderful views of the water and it was easy to walk to restaurants and shops. The staff was amazing, starting with the owner who personally walked around greeting guests. The hotel has a great feel to it. We definitely recommend it, staying there was memorable experience.

Loved the pool. The villa was really clean and bright. You do need to check into the actual hotel (which this is not, this is the villas), which is like 5-10 mins away by car, and I'll say this now that the hotel does have a restaurant. It was nice that when requested, they quickly delivered an iron and ironing board since it wasn't already inside our villa. The whole property was really clean and well maintained. The view from our villa was nice. The villa does have a steam shower which was nice. It had two bathrooms, one with the bedroom and one downstairs. It had its own dedicated parking spot for our rental car, dishware for cooking, a washer (no dryer), microwave, and a nice refrigerator/freezer. Couple of minor gripes and preferences were that the furniture was really basic and hard plastic so the seating was not comfortable. The wifi was pretty fast (broadband) but extremely high latency (ping) (700+ ms) for those who care about things like that. One of the gripes we had was that there is allegedly "room service" as they leave you food/drink/wine menus in your room and the phone has a room service button, yet if you want to order food, they will make it in their restaurant located at their hotel as previously mentioned and they do not deliver it... so it makes it pointless room service. Overall it was a nice villa, it was pretty quiet, and not too far away from old town Chania (10-15mins).
