It’s been a year and a half since we had our trip to Esperides, (June 2023) I think about it all of the time, it was one of the best holidays I’ve had. The hotel was stunning, we got picked up at the entrance in a buggy and taken to the reception to check in. Was a fun and welcoming arrival! We had half bored with breakfast and dinner, the food choices were incredible, and in the evening they had a live chef food station with a themed dish. Cocktails were lovely, we both drank so many frozen daiquiris and accidently got ourselves a large bill 😂 worth it! The area is perfect too, we hired a car and drove through lots of town around Crete, so good for exploring! The local town by the hotel has so many restaurants to choose from, a truly authentic place. Walk down to the beach to the far left and the water is stunningly blue! We also did a quick day trip to Santorini, beautiful! This was mine and my partners first holiday together and it was perfect, the hotel, the staff, the place!

Sehr schöne Anlage, sehr nette Menschen
Ich habe hier acht phantastische Tage verbracht. Das Hotel liegt sehr schön auf einer Anhöhe oberhalb des Ortes und bietet daher von vielen Stellen spektakuläre Aussichten auf das Meer und die Berge oberhalb. Mein Lieblingsort war die Rooftop Bar, wo man mit einem Drink in der Hand den Sonnenuntergang beobachten kann.
Das Hotel verfügt über zwei Pools: Einen großen ganz oben am Hang mit entsprechend tollem Blick, einer Poolbar und einem Kleinkindbereich und einen kleineren weiter unten in der Anlage. Dieser ist als „Quiet Zone - Adults Only“ ausgewiesen. Als Alleinreisender habe ich die Ruhe dort sehr genossen.
Der Service und die Herzlichkeit aller Mitarbeitenden waren großartig.
Es gibt ein Büffetrestaurant für Halbpension (keine kulinarischen Höhenflüge, aber durchweg lecker) und ein A la carte-Restaurant auf dem „Oberdeck“ mit spektakulärem Blick.
Die Preise für Speisen und Getränke sind für ein Hotel dieser Klasse recht fair.
Die Zimmer sind sehr unterschiedlich in Ausstattung und Lage.
Generell bieten die Terrassen und privaten Pools keine Privatsphäre; sie sind alle mehr oder minder einsehbar. Ich halte das nicht für ein Problem, aber man sollte es vorab wissen.
Die Lage des Zimmers ist aber zweitrangig, da man die sehr schönen öffentlichen Bereiche nutzen kann. Wer frühzeitig bucht, kann wohl Wünsche äußern.
In den Ort läuft man knapp 20 Minuten, allerdings ist es dort schon sehr touristisch - nicht mein Fall.
Ich werde nächstes Jahr wiederkommen.

Excellent Resort
I recently had the pleasure of staying at Esperides in Crete, and I can confidently say it is a hidden gem that exceeded all my expectations. The hotel, or better yet the resort has everything you need. The staff are super friendly and helpful. The village area is very nice and full of restaurants.

a waste of money-Not a 5* hotel, food was bad.
even though the dining staff was nice, the food was horrible! we as a family ended up eating just the sweet/dessert but it was still bad, not much choices, even though we had 1/2 stay, we ended up eating out & willing to spend in restaurant than to eat there.
This place is not a 5* hotel is more like a 3.5*

Άριστη επιλογή για 5 αστέρια ξενοδοχείο
Ίσως το πιο καθαρό και ωραίο 5 αστέρια ξενοδοχείο που έχω μείνει , το προσωπικό πάρα πολύ ευγενικό και εξυπηρετικό, κάναμε αναβάθμιση στο δωμάτιο και μείναμε στο δωμάτιο με το τζακουζι στο μπαλκόνι, πιστεύω καλύτερη επιλογή και από το δωμάτιο με την πισίνα, ο μπουφές για το πρωινό και το βραδινό ήταν πάρα πολύ νόστιμος. Στα θετικά επίσης το άνετο πάρκινγκ , η καθημερινή αλλαγή εκτός των πετσετών , των σεντονιων και ο καθαρισμός του τζακουζι
Τα λίγα αρνητικά είναι , ότι ο μπουφές ήταν νόστιμος αλλά με λίγες επιλογές όμως , το μέτριο WiFi σε όλους τους χώρους του ξενοδοχείου και η μη επιλογή για all inclusive

Άριστη επιλογή
Το ξενοδοχείο είναι πάρα πολύ καθαρό, πάρα πολύ άνετο , έχει ιδιωτικό πάρκινγκ, αρκετά άνετο , το προσωπικό είναι άριστο , πάρα πολύ ευγενικό και εξυπηρετικό, το μόνο που ίσως πρέπει να σκεφτούν είναι να βάλουν την επιλογή all inclusive
