Amira Luxury Resort & Spa

We usually go self catering when we holiday, but decided this time to do a hotel. Didn't regret it - what a fabulous experience. Amazing value, fantastic food, professional and friendly staff. Room was lovely with great tech (once we figured out all the switched!) The only criticism, common in many places, was guests reserving sun beds by the pool with towels. They claimed to not allow this but nobody was enforcing it.

It was really amazing, great hotel. Very clean, very well organized & very friendly and helpful staff. We didn't want to leave.

From arrival, the Greeting from the taxi was very warm and extremely welcoming very easy check in with explanation of the hotel, we were taken to our junior suite room which had the most fabulous sea view, Room was amazing. Nothing was to much trouble for any member of staff to make our trip memorable. We were half board, every day the dinner did not disappoint, so many options . The hotel was spotlessly clean throughout. The pool was great to cool off with jacuzzi sunbeds in the pool which I have never seen before. A fabulous hotel which is Adult Only , that made it very relaxing. We will return to this very relaxing hotel

This hotel was just what myself and husband were looking for, total peace and relaxation,which we received due to the ambiance atmosphere of the place.The hotel is spotless clean and I observed the cleaning staff who worked to a very high standard,as did all the staff working in different positions within the hotel they really do there job well and have top class customer service skills.the food is of great variety and plentiful to choose from,the deserts were just the best and presented beautifully, this is a suggestion NOT a complaint..the breakfast coffee and fresh squeezed orange juice should be shelf service, sometimes myself and husband were nearly finished our breakfast before the waitress came and asked us, or more waiting staff on in the breakfast service.there is not much to do in the surrounding area outside we took a day trip to the mountain villages which was superb,and two trips into town and the rest just relaxing and recharging, while I was there it was my birthday I came back to the room to a delicious chocolate cake and some sparkling wine which was a lovely gesture,I will definitely be returning to this peaceful resort in the near future.

in 50 years of travel this hotels rates in the top 5, The facilities -indoor and outdoor pools, gym, spa and three amazing restaurants are excellent, the staff are efficient friendly and genuinely please to help, nothing is to much trouble for them. The food is plentiful and is a huge selection catering to everyone's taste. The beach is private and the sea relatively safe with a lifeguard on duty. The rooms are hi-tech comfortable and within easy reach of all the facilities. The nearest town Rethymno is a 20 minute 2 euros' ride away and well worth a visit, the bus stop is immediately outside the hotel, taxis are available for 15 euros

We enjoyed a week at the hotel, and everything was perfect. The hotel is almost new and is kept in tip top shape. We had a room facing east with a shared pool, it was very quiet and private, while still having all the luxuries of a big hotel. The staff was super nice. We would be happy to go there again.
