Ariadne Beach - Adults Only

Begining of the season - very nice and quiet place. Not many people, big enough apartament, large bathroom. Small beach at the front of the hotel. The food is very good, fresh and excelent quality - maybe the diversity could be better but no one will be hungry.

It was super holydays. This hotel is really to recommand. All was very nice especially MR.DIMITRI, our server. We have had such a nice relations. Thank you thank you Dimitri. All the best for you. And Nani the maid, so nice and always with a smile.

My mum and I travel to Crete for the first time and it didn’t disappoint. A big contribution to our wonderful holiday was to stay at Ariadne Beach Hotel. The hotel is adult only and we appreciate this. There was entertainment but far enough so it did not bother us at all late at night. The great customer service starter before we got there. I emailed the hotel to request a bungalow not too high up as my mum hurt her ankle. I got reply from Eleni within an hour assuring me they will do their best. And the did we got a great bungalow close to the pool and main restaurant. The room was spacious and comfortable and the whole resort was very well maintained. Hotel staff was always busy ensuring everything was clean and ready to use. The resort is located 10-15 minutes walk from Agios Nikolaos a vibrant city with shopping, restaurants and bars. There is also a pebbles beach next to the hotel and sand one that can be reached in 5 minutes. We went on half board basis as we would not manage 3 big meals a day. The food was good with decent choice to cater to many tastes. Particularly meats cooked to plate were very good 😊 . Head chef was there every time ensuring everyone was satisfied. The whole restaurant and kitchen stuff took great care of us. Thank you to Dimitris who tought me some basis Greek. Efharisto😁 We had a wonderful time. Ewa and Barbara

Overall a nice hotel in a quiet area. Fresh hotel room with working ac. The staff at the reception were very nice and helpful. However, the staff who worked in the restaurant area were sometimes bullies and unpleasant. We felt very uncomfortable as it felt like we were a nuisance. A major drawback was that here wasn't much vegetarian food at their dinners. We paid extra for dinner despite this, you had to order drinks with the food and not even a glass of water was included in the dinners. Too bad we didn't get that information. Apart from the vegetarian food, the food was okay but the staff in the restaurant area could be improved. We felt would recommend the hotel to a couple as basically only couples stayed at the hotel. A really big problem for us was that we heard exactly everything from the neighbors that you definitely don't want to hear. Which resulted in many sleepless nights filled with aggression. We would recommend that the hotel insulate the walls better!

Just returned from 10 days here what a great holiday we have had. What outstanding friendly helpful staff they were too many to name even the gentleman sweeping around the well kept grounds always a smile and a greeting. The Restaurant Buffet in particular deserves a mention. Beautiful fresh produce presented everyday the standard of choice for Half Board would satisfy most holidaymakers. Excellent all round a huge thank you to all who made our stay most enjoyable. We also met some lovely fellow holidaymakers how nice that was.

We arrived to the hotel late at the evening and were led directly to dinner, which took as by a nice surprise - the buffet was rich in variety with plenty vegetarian and enough vegan options. After the dinner, a service employee took us and our bags to our bungalow by a cart which was a nice touch due to the steep incline. As for the accommodations, we might have got the best room possible, with beautiful sea-side view. This part of the hotel appeared to be built recently so it felt very new and modern. It was close to the dining hall, pools, and the back parking lot, while separated enough from them all to not be disturbed by any noise when sitting on the balcony. The only slightly bad thing about the room itself was a squeaky sofa, and maybe a proper shower corner. The bed was huge and soft, the room had a well functioning AC and fridge, plenty storage room, nice clean bathroom and a TV with a plethora of channel and language options. And of course, the view from the balcony was absolutely exquisite. When it comes to food, we had half-board and were surprised by the variety and the fact that many foods changed every day, so there was always something new to try. There were also a well established basics which were the same every day so we always knew what to look forward to too. As for the taste, it was always A+, we never had even a slightest complaint. We’d emphasize meals with mushrooms which were always superb, a huge selection of local foods and the freshness of everything from baked foods to salads and fruits. A plant-based milk is also always available, although we had to ask the staff for it. I’d say we were spoiled by the food on our last vacation on Crete but this superseded all our expectations. We’ll keep hoping for more varied vegan foods though. Now for the biggest win - the staff. We already learned that when we’re friendly with the staff, they’re friendly with us. However, the level of personal touch, small talk and overall service we got here was completely unexpected. While everyone was always perfectly professional, they always had personal touch that made us look forward to any interaction. There were staff members always ready to help us with our Greek vocabulary (and teach us some dirty words too :D), and there were others who showed genuine interest in our experience. At the same time, they seemed to always know when not to interrupt our conversation. And finally, we took this holiday on a birthday, which we might have mentioned during small talk to some staff. One evening after a full day of travel, we were surprised by a lovely birthday cake in our room. We still don’t know whose idea it was or whether it’s something the hotel does for everyone according to their personal details, but it was a source of immense joy for us as well as for the staff with whom we shared it. A bonus - it’s an adult only hotel (kids 15+ of age might be allowed too, but we didn’t come across any). No vacation we’ve been to has been this p

Great romantic place for adults. Enjoyed every day of our 10 days of all inclusive holiday!

As usual, people are writing a feedback at the end of their holiday but I've deiced to write my review on our first day here. We arrived after 23.00 and were so impressed of a hospitality of the staff from the taking our luggage to the room, tasty sandwiches, fresh fruits and water in the fridge till friendly atmosphere in the bar which is open till 1am. Food is amazing, good choice, very delicious deserts. We are happy to stay our 10 days all inclusive holiday and sure we'll back here again.
