Kalypso Cretan Village Resort and Spa

Traumhafte Lage. Sehr hilfsbereites und freundliches Personal. Ideal um einige Zeit abzuschalten. Im Shop bekommt man alles, was man braucht, Für Wanderungen im Umland ist festes Schuhwerk sinnvoll.

Lovely location. Nice resort, though a little dated and some degree of shabbiness. But the food was generally good, service excellent, the room was nice. We enjoyed our time here and would visit again.

Nice place, perfect for swimming and snorkling in the sea.

spektakuläre Lage, gut organisiertes resort, Verpflegung trotz all inklusive gut

The photos are VERY misleading. The beach on the property was beautiful. Friendliness was a mixed experience-1-2 very nice, most ambivalent/neutral, one unpleasant type of situation. 2 pools were open; they had lots of green algae growing on the walls. Rooms were extremely dated, but clean enough. The beds were HARD AS ROCKS. The literal hardest mattress I have ever slept on. There was a mini fridge. Nothing to make coffee or tea in the room. Water is 1 euro. It’s a drive to get there. Food was ok. We were on our honeymoon, with plans to go hike the Sumerian gorge the next day, but rerouted to the Kalypso due to its proximity to where we were, because of heavy rains in a sudden storm we got caught in. Roads were unsafe, and it was a place to go for a night while the storm passed. Thankfully we were only there for an afternoon and morning. It would have been a depressing trip if we’d had to stay multiple nights. We’re honestly confused by the positive reviews…

I had a lovely stay here and would come again. I will say that while the property is clean and the staff take care of it, it does need a little lick of paint here and there but overall it is a beautiful location and a true place to relax and recoup. I was disappointed that there wasn't yoga classes as posted, but I was able to book a private class with a teacher, who was great. Booked with their masseuse a few times as she was WONDERFUL (Rose if I remember rightly) Handy swimming pool right outside my room (salt). And a little general store on site which after realizing that Plakias is a 15min drive away, was good to have on hand. Scuba diving in the cove was gorgeous and there was a little spot you could jump straight into the ocean near the main pool. The cove is not the beach however, the walk to the beach is about 20 minutes and up some very steep stairs. The view is amazing, but I'd recommend wearing solid walking shoes as there is loose gravel/rocks and the drop to the ocean is sheer. The entertainment was mediocre to be honest, and the location would benefit from a karaoke night in my opinion. All-inclusive does not include all drinks, beer and wine only. But the food was decent enough to not bother going into the town except for a treat. Great nudist beach nearby in Plakias, with regular beach down the road. Lovely little town.

This must have been an amazing all inclusive resort in the 1950s which appears to be the last time it was repaired. Still has great amenities like pools, scuba, food, yoga and entertainment but the rooms and facilities are pretty rundown and outdated. Still a good deal for the all inclusive stuff available if you can overlook that.

Nous avons séjourné une nuit dans cet hotel resort pour l'expérience et très grosse promotion. Il s'agit d'un très grand complexe hotelier vieillissant. Ce complexe a une localisation exceptionnelle, éloigné de tout, au bord de la mer. Par contre il faut absolument disposer d'une voiture si vous souhaitez visiter les alentours. Accueil agréable et chaleureux. Le complexe manque globalement d'entretien à la fois sur les installations de type bassins, fontaines, végétation, ce qui est fort dommage vu le potentiel. Les chambres sont très mal entretenues et vétustes, rien n'a été changé je pense depuis la construction dans les années 80. Notre chambre était immense mais très peu fonctionnelle. Le petit déjeuner était délicieux et très varié. Le prix payé était dérisoire donc je suis assez satisfaite de notre court séjour mais je comprends parfaitement les commentaires pour des séjours plus longs et au prix fort.

Cadre incroyable et personnel très sympathique.

The pools and outside space are lovely at its very picturesque but the room was very dated and the bathroom was in poor condition with glass slats missing. The air-conditioning is old and struggled to cool the size of room. The shampoo and shower gel dispenser was broken when i contacted reception the receptionist was unhelpful. People smoke everywhere and even an employee who has a room in a no smoking area thinks it ok with children around.
