Fodele Beach Water Park Resort

May 24 will be my third time in this wonderful place. Beautiful hotel, great food, very kind stuff. Perfect. Shelly from London

This is a truly stunning hotel with a beautiful view and a fantastic chilled out vibe. The staff are friendly and attentive. Really good selection of food morning, noon and night, catering for all tastes. They did a Halloween theme buffet when we were there and wow, the effort put in was amazing. The rooms are awesome, large, beautifully decorated, plenty of storage - Easily one, if not, the best room I've stayed in at a holiday resort. I would say that with the hotel being built into a cliff then the slope/stairs up to/down from the upper-level rooms won't be ideal for all but there is a road train and golf buggies that can be used to make it easier. The area is quiet, which I liked as we were there to chill and there is no real need to leave the resort but perhaps it is too quiet for those who like a change of scenery at night. However, there are regular buses to close by towns. Heraklion about 1hr and worth a day trip. All in all - Totally worth the money, it is beautiful and did not disappoint.

We went to Fodele Beach Hotel in Crete and it was absolutely fabulous. From start to finish it was the perfect holiday. The beach was lovely and it had a brilliant beach bar with fabulous staff who couldn't be more helpful. The day beds were really good and were bookable from the bar staff. The food in the hotel was really good and there was lots of choice every day. The breakfast was very good and had mostly everything anyone would have wanted. There was some evening entertainment which was very nice - some of it was for children and that was fine. The weather was hot and the pools were really good To be honest we could not fault a thing. Before we went we looked at the hotel and saw it was built on a hillside and there looked to be some climbing up hills to get to your room so we sent a message asking if at all possible we could have a room near the bottom and they did accommodate us perfectly. Our room which was a sun room was perfect. They had lots of water slides and a water park at the top of the hill which you could get a little cart to take you to sometimes there's a train but it wasn't working when we were there - but that didn't stop us going up there. There was a nice cafe there which had fruit and sandwiches and drinks. We found the water park really good but the sunbeds were not as readily available as they were on the beach. Having said that we didn't have a problem at all when we were there. I would have no hesitation of recommending this hotel to either couples or families and I would most certainly return there. You have a choice of going to some of their a la carte restaurants and while we were there we went to the italian restaurant and the Greek one ... I would say I probably wouldn't bother if we went again as we didn't find them all that brilliant and preferred the main restaurant - but that is our personal choice. Fantastic Holiday

Beautiful hotel with amazing staff. Clean room, great beach, amazing food and drinks, loved the bar outside with great staff, great pool and great entertainment, especially for the kids.

Wow, just had a fab 5* week at Fodele Beach Resort in Crete. Family of 4 with teenage kids. The location of Fodele bay is stunning and close to Heraklion Airport. The hotel is modern, v well equipped and the resort is spacious enought to never feel overcrowded. Overall brilliant, but specifically: Room - good rooms, not the biggest (we are a tall family) , but super comfy and we had a wet room shower & a balconey. They also moved us no problem to interconnecting rooms. Hotel - excellent - gym, arcade, spa, shops, main buffet restaurant plus a seperate Greek & Italian. At least 4x bars, spaced all the way from the water park at the top to the beach below. Staff - fab - really friendly - lots of them - genuinely cared that guests had a good experience. Food - top draw buffet, loads of choice, always changed menu, something for everyone. End of season Halloween dinner buffet was a sight to behold - so much effort put in (see photo). Water Park - excellent fun, some good rides and kids area. Plus bar and extra (not crowded) pools. Beach - really good sandy beach, private area for hotel. Lots of swimming, pier jumping and eel fishing attempts. Water sports (hotel run - cost extra) also fun, can now tick parasailing from the bucket list! To get the most out of it all you need to be of 'average' activity levels. Lots of steps, the resort is carved out of a hill side. My thanks to all the staff for making it a great week. Shout out to Jet2 also, all went smoothly as usual.

This was our first trip to Crete. We know there are other good hotels on the island. But we think we could not have made a better choice as Fodele beach hotel was just amazing. We couldn’t fault a thing staff from start to finish of our holiday where superb. A really big thank you to Emmanoyela poolside bar from morning till evening never ever had a smile off her face. Looking forward to another holiday out there. Restaurant food and drinks fantastic.

We went as a family of 3 in the middle of October, the weather was perfect especially with a 3 year old. The hotel and its surroundings were everything you need, the hotel Itself is based on the side of a mountain so understandably quite hilly however there was always little carts around to take you to your room if required. The water park was fab. The staff here are so so lovely, special shout out to Gledi who my little boy absolutely loved…. Also to the 2 men at the buffet who always went out of their way to give my son the high five he wanted from them everyday. The Main pools were a little chilly For our liking but there was an additional pool that was heated and amazing for kids, the sea was a great temp too. The only slight negative I would have is the need for additional storage in the room, there is a wardrobe with a couple of drawers in but we felt there could of been a little more as there is space in the room to do this. All in all a great holiday and would recommend 😀
