Find 5 Star Hotels in Achlia from SAR 289

"The property itself is in a beautiful spot. Amazing views and right in between the towns of Agios Nicholas and Elounda. In theory, it has everything that should make a resort great. Problem though is the dining situation......And its a MAJOR problem. I don't know if I've ever written a poor review in my life about a hotel. But, I have to give a warning especially for anyone who doesn't take the all inclusive meal plan. They advertise that they have multiple restaurants and bars, but they are rarely if ever open. And when they are open, you need reservations well in advance. Like, you need to reserve your meals before you even start your trip. We tried and were unable to reserve a table at ANY of their restaurants the entire time we were there (6 days). Not one. The only food option the entire week we were there was their main restaurant which is the exact same buffet everyday for lunch and dinner. If you're not all inclusive, it's $150 dollars for a family of 4. Which I guess isn't horrible, but it's pretty mediocre food and I can't see how anyone could eat a week's worth of meals there. The one pool bar that was open had no snacks to order. There is no lobby bar to get appetizers. Seriously nothing. Thankfully there is a little market across the street from the hotel that we were able to get cheese and crackers from, and we were able to eat most of our meals in the nearby towns. But the fact that this is labelled as a "resort" with dining options is a complete scam. "

"Loved my bungalow on the sea with private pool. The large hotel swimming pool was also very beautiful. Easy access to the sea via sturdy ladders. Charming secluded nooks with lounge chairs and tables at different levels. Fantastic breakfast buffet. Water shuttle to multiple restaurants on the property. Enjoyed the delicious sushi and more at the exceptional seafront Sumosan Japanese restaurant, where glass floor panels offered a look into the fish and sea below us. Lovely landscaping. Attentive and caring staff. Interesting shops. I did not use the Six Senses Spa, but for those who are spa people, I don’t doubt it is as remarkable as everything else there. Many guests return regularly, and I definitely want to stay again. Highly recommend this very special getaway."
