Karteros Villas

We chose Anemos Suites as we were looking for somewhere self-catering at the end of a month in various parts of Greece. We stayed in ”suite” 302 titled ”Sea Horse”. The room was quite spacious but there were very limited kitchen supplies. Only 3 of everything supplied (bowls, glasses etc), one burner that you plug in, kettle, sandwich toaster, one saucepan, milk pan, frypan, no microwave. We never made any meals or even a cup of tea here! They had a restaurant on site and the meal the night we arrived was tasty enough, but my husband got food poisoning from the club sandwich that night. A better dining alternative is down the end of the lane near the beach at the News Seaside Bar Restaurant where I had the best club sandwich and chips in Greece! On the second day (our first morning there, and my birthday) I attempted to have a shower but the water was cold. My husband then realised the bathroom was flooding not in the shower cubicle but bubbling up in the middle of the bathroom behind me where I hadn’t noticed. By the time he warned me and I turned it off, it was flooding out into the living area. We managed to move my suitcase just in time. We reported it but there was no-one around that morning that spoke much English. They understood enough to send the cleaner over to mop up the water and she somehow fixed the blockage, however the water was still cold so we couldn’t shower. We tried to communicate with the staff about when the hot water would be fixed but were instead handed a breakfast menu. When we asked to see the manager we were told only ”later”. After wasting a couple of hours that morning trying to resolve things (including calling our travel agent who also contacted the manager) we ended up having a sponge wash and went out to start our day. By the time we left (around 11am) someone who spoke English had arrived and he was able to tell me that a plumber would be there later that afternoon. He also gave us directions to find a doctor as my husband had developed an infection in his leg and needed antibiotics. So he at least was helpful. After returning late afternoon, I asked if we could have a replacement bathmat and hand towel as they were still soaking wet from the flooding. The elderly Greek owners started arguing with each other in Greek and then the woman argued with me saying “tomorrow” as in they were only due to replace the towels tomorrow. I think she also wanted payment for changing them earlier. I tried to explain about our room flooding but she couldn’t understand. I said they should be compensating us with a free breakfast or drinks not arguing about replacing a couple of towels, and said we would give them a bad review. There was a worker there who spoke good English (we had interacted with him the evening before) but instead of interpreting what we were saying he just went and sat at the check in desk and didn’t want to get involved. I gave up and 5 minutes later the elderly Greek lady came to our room with two towel

the hotel is old. some areas (such as the pool and territory) have been repaired and are in good condition. but there are disadvantages typical for old buildings - such as the lack of sockets in the bedside area. semi-working TV, with non-working remote control. the minibar is also in this condition - whether it works or not. the bathroom is clean but very old. cleaning and towel change - from time to time or as you remind. Wi-Fi in the rooms is very weak and volatile. near the reception is better. the hotel is located near the crossroad, from the beach area it is separated by a highway. from good features - breakfast is delicious. the large selection of beaches - wild and commercial, in ten minutes. several cafes and mini-markets are nearby, but in general there are no interesting restaurants in the village, you have to go to the city. by the way, there is the city bus to Heraklion (about every half hour), it is cheaper to buy tickets in advance at city kiosks. to the city center - 15-20 minutes depending on traffic. on the way there is also an airport on the way to Heraklion.

Pnoe is a relatively new resort, opening in 2023. Lots of positive: - Service was great - extremely friendly and pleasant. - Food was good - reasonably priced, good portions. - Rooms on the small side but well equipped (we stayed in room with plunge pool). - Pool, gym, plus one minute walk to the beach - Spa has a great menu - Hotel seemed popular with couples in their 20s / 30s That said, for us this fell short of a five star hotel and the prices didn’t stack up given a few factors - Main factor is hotel is directly under the flight path a very short distance from the Heraklion airport runway. Flights talking off every few minutes (you can literally see the run way from the beach) noisy and fumes - Rooms were small and have zero view (plunge pool room was fenced in by a high concrete wall) - Pool is in middle of hotel surrounded by rooms / restaurants so again no view. Meaning only option to not feel like you’re in a concrete jungle is to sit on the beach watching the planes take off - Spa was also busy and wasn’t able to accommodate us so recommend to book well in advance Overall hotel was fine, if you adjust expectations to more of a 3-4 star experience for the money / if you are looking for a hotel close to the airport for convenience

It was our first time in this hotel. Everything was perfect. They welcomed us with the best way. All the staff are very kind. We had a very nice room with a pool that was cleaned every day. The food was very tasty and you had the possibility for a different meal every day. We also visited the spa and the girls in the desk Lena and Katerina were very helpful. We choose the Kind and Queen where Christos and Chris's gave it to us where we can say that it was the bast massage we have ever had. I also visited the hair salon and Renia she is very good and very kind. It was great. We will definitely come back!!!
