Kalypso Cretan Village Resort and Spa

Kalypso Cretan Village Resort and Spa

10/10 Excellent
"Propre et calme. Les transats sont propres et disponibles. Ce sont les plus dispendieuses que nous devions payer. 20 euros pour ceux près de l'eau. Ceux près des piscines ne sont pas payants. Le buffet du déjeuner n'est pas très chaud et le personnel de ce dernier n'est vraiment pas souriant. Pour le repas du soir, il est BEAUCOUP trop cher pour ce qu'il offre avec peu de choix. Du fait que cet hôtel est assez isolé, il laisse peu de choix pour se nourrir. Moi je n'y retournerai pas"

"Fantastic experience all around. The coziness, cleanliness, and tranquility of this place are unmatched. It seems like the cleaning service is tasked with making the property feel brand new and untouched after every daily cleaning. Just a few steps from an amazing beach, a one minute drive to the supermarket and bakery, and all the best restaurants Plakias has to offer are within 1-15 minute drive/walk. I hate advertising this place because I want it to be all mine! Worth every penny."

"Very nice resort, with beautiful views of the town, sea, and mountains. Many pools if you ever get tired on the sand at the beach. Beach chairs provided, which was very nice. Location is basically beach side, and about 10 min walk into town, or a 2 minute drive. Rooms were clean, and the shower was enormous!"
