Great place, beautiful beach, extreme relaxation

The breakfast was excellent in terms of choices and quality. The dinner was ok, but being a buffet drops the quality. Still good selection, but it felt like buffet. Not really a problem but being a Greek I am used to have better cooked dinner from restaurants, but for buffet style food was still quite good

We had a great 10 days stay in the hotel. Excellent facilities and a great pool area on the top of the hill. The room was advertised as a swim-up room with a little misleading picture here in Expedia. Instead of the swim-up rooms that share a long pool on the terrace area we lived at the pool site around two buildings with approx 10 room. Actually the better choice as it was very calm, was equipped with sunbeds for e very room and additional canopies. Had a great view towards the sea and the sunset every night. You just need to beware if you expect the same room as shown in the pictures. Great selection of food with different themes every day. Staff was a little slow at times, but still friendly.

Not for me.

Nice room & amazing view. Lovely welcome fruit platter & bubbly. However my room offered no shade after 2pm. No umbrellas. Apparently because of wind. Guess they don't know about concrete base umbrellas. So impossible to sit outside most of the day. Food very average. Built on a hill. Golf buggies available to drive you back up. Wouldn't want to be dependent on that in high season.

Friendly, welcoming and efficient staff, excellent food, spacious well appointed rooms, great beach area. Very few sunbeds at the relatively small pool. No other tavernas or bars in the immediate area. Opposite the beach but a busy road in between.

Relaxing holiday

New resort. Comfortable bed and pillows. Great and fresh food. Good coffee, but the juice was not good quality. Friendly and helpful staff. Lots of stairs, though our room was near to the restaurant. Small pool area. Access to beach. Easy parking.

The hotel was perfect for a relaxing week's vacation with my girlfriend. What I really liked was the staff, the food and the facilities. We arrived were greeted with sparkling wine and we wäre brought to the room with a golf card and got a massage, just a dream. Also the beach very relaxing with nice facilities. Definitely will come back.

Worst hotel experience in Crete – avoid if you have a baby or mobility issues We stayed in 3 hotels during our trip to Crete, and we visit Greece twice a year – this was by far the worst experience. The hotel is absolutely not suitable for parents with a baby or anyone with reduced mobility: steep slopes, stairs everywhere (bar, restaurant, beach). We booked a sea view room as shown in the photos, but got a noisy room facing the main road, with constant traffic and hotel staff passing. They dared to say it was “better for a baby.” No baby cot was provided – just an unsecured sofa. How is a 5-month-old supposed to sleep on that? We asked for a change – they said “we’ll call you tomorrow.” No one called. Worse: they claimed they called the room while we told them we’d be out. Result? Wasted our time and ruined our day. They don’t know how to manage anything. No apology, no empathy, just “that’s how it is.”

Second time and will stay again

Second time at this property and will stay again. I had recommended this property to friends too who also stayed there. This time I have tried the buffet dinner and was quite happy with the selection and taste. Room is spacious and well appointed apart from the mirror which was located on the wall by the bed (minor inconvenience). The property has also great sunset views.

Property very nice . Room had plenty of space. Booked room with private pool. Fabulous view. We had buffet breakfast and buffet dinner which were both great. Only downside was property built on hill. So walking down ok, but walking up a little hard if you are older. They will take you to your room in golf cart with a phone call which we used. Only stayed one night

The Enorme Santanna Beach Hotel is a beautiful and design Hotel located in front of the beach. We had a very nice and clean room with a terrasse with a great view on the sea. The room was spacious and well equipped, the bathroom nice and clean. All the staff was extremly friendly with a everytime needed a lot of attention. The breakfast and evening buffets were very tasty, offering a wide choice of food, vegetables, fisch, bread,... If you are looking for a great place to enjoy the "dolce vita" and spend some quality time, the Santanna Hotel is the right place!

The service at Enorme Santanna Beach is really excellent. The resort is gorgeous, the view is divine, and you are on the beach. The pool area is great, with lounge beds in the pool, a fabulous pool bar serving delicious food and drinks. Everything was here and my only complaint is that I don’t care for buffet dining. But the food is great and there are options to order food to your room. We booked rather last minute and were really pleasantly surprised by the property. Would stay here again and will recommend to friends and family.
