Sentido Kyknos Beach Adults Only

After a 10 night stay at this hotel I feel like it was an average stay with some positives and some negatives which I will list below. Cons: • Cleaning/cleaner coming in to the room. We felt that the quality of the cleaning was not the best, as we found that the floor had an accumulation of dirt and sand on which remained for a few days as well as the bed sheets not being changed regularly. On one morning, the doorbell rang and almost instantly afterwards the door was being slid open and the curtains were in the process of being pulled back - I had to stop the cleaner from coming into the room due to not being suitably dressed! This concerned me as there was not even enough time for me to get up and dressed before answering the door and I had considered if this might have been their thought process... unprofessional in my opinion. • Beds and duvet In our double room, the beds are two singles pushed together with individual sheets on. In addition to this, instead of one king sized duvet for both sleepers, you get two single duvets. This can be a pro or a con depending on how you look at it, but I frequently found it frustrating. • Drinks The soft drinks like the coca cola, fizzy orange and fizzy lemon along with some others I can't recall have this distinct almost chemical taste and smell to them which makes them a challenge to drink to the point where I didn't even bother with them unless they had alcohol in! • Food & A La Carte I don't wish to be too critical of the food as the cooking staff looked like they enjoyed their work and were eager to see people's reactions when eating it. However, the quality of a lot of it was not good - it was hit and miss whether your concoction of Greek, Italian and German food would be nice or not. The A La Carte... we were booked into this by the Maitre D in the evening after the BBQ night and the general feeling from our group was that the food was the leftovers from the night before as a lot of it we had seen there and it did not taste fresh. There are 5 courses to the menu - the soup was the best course and i reccomend the pumpkin soup. For starters I had the greek pasta which to be fair was nice, however my partner had prosciutto and gorgonzola tortillas which had a pinch of some sort of pepper on the outside which sent her lips and tongue numb - a curious choice of seasoning I think for a ham and cheese wrap. The third course was a choice of salad, which was disappointing. It sounded good on the menu, but failed to deliver as this too tasted like it had been left out overnight and/or reused.  For main I had the veal stifado which for the first two cuts of meat I really enjoyed, however as it went on I found myself unable to continue eating it due to chewing one piece of meat for at least 5 minutes. My partner had the salmon on a bed of mixed greens - the report is that the salmon was fine, but the greens were overloaded with way too much salt to the point where they couldn't be eaten. For

We have spent two weeks in this hotel every year since 2018. We return each year because we love Crete but mainly because we love this hotel, the staff, the food and the relaxed atmosphere. The hotel is of a very high standard and the cleanliness is second to none. The food is exceptional with a great choice of international cuisine with lots of Greek food which we always enjoy. The staff are always friendly and welcoming, in particular Nasos, the maître d'hôtel who is always at hand to help and organise things. BBQs are held every Wednesday, the food is excellent and the traditional Greek entertainment is exceptional; it’s a night you won’t want to miss. Also the a la carte night is superb. There is an excellent swimming pool with plenty of sun beds, and a pool bar. We have travelled extensively to different parts of the world but we can honestly say this is our happy place, the place we love above all the others.

Just back from the best 2 weeks at Kyknos beach, we loved every mintue of our time away. The hotel was of a high standard, staff were so friendly & welcoming, rooms cleaned every day. Nasos the restaurant manager was so lovely, organising a birthday song & cake for my daughter in the restaurant. BBQ night on a Wednesday, wow! amaxing food & great Greek performers, really traditional evening which was very enjoyable. You can always find a sunbed around the pool also. If I had to find one teeny issue, it would be breakfast mostly being catered for the German travellers, but wouldnt stop us from going again!
