Panorama Hotel

Second stay at the Panorama Hotel and we will be back. Friendly hotel with beautiful Cretan food overlooking beautiful Falassarna beach. Love the feta with tomato jam starter, freshly cooked fries and dolmades. All the dishes are tasty. Lovely pool and easy parking.

Great place with good food, also vegan. There is lovely view on the Falasarna beach with cristal clear water. Everything perfect. You get a water melon after the meal. You can sit inside and also outside.

The hotel was rated as 5 star, that was absurd, it may have been 5 star 20 years ago, I feel 3 star would be more accurate. The entertainment by local entertainers was ok, however the animation team were an absolute joke. Two young girls that had no get up and go. The water aerobics they put on, if they could be bothered was dire. Evening entertainment, Limbo didn’t take place, adult couples games, they sat at one or two tables and played a game of cards. One nice guest showed them a card trick that was the highlight that evening. Waiting staff were fault less, very helpful and polite both at the pool and in the restaurant. Food in the restaurant was lovely, maybe where some of the five stars come from. Bar staff also excellent. The receptionist s were also excellent helpful and accommodating. Lifeguard really, more interested in his little shaded slot away from the pool, not sure how that would work in an emergency, he seemed more interested in realigning the sun beds that keeping an eye on the pool. All the sun beds were reserved for large periods of the day with no occupants, if they have a policy on this it’s obviously not managed. Furniture in the room was dated, I haven’t seen a hairdryer of it’s type for nearly 20 years, everything else was adequate. We stayed five days that was ample.
