The resort was really nice. Great food and amazing staff! However, though it was an all-inclusive resort, it did not make any sense at all why you had to purchase drinks after 11 PM, that includes soft drinks and liquor. Not sure why there is a time limit when it's an all-inclusive resort.

Fodele beach resort

Beautiful hotel, great amenities. Needs a bit of an update here and there…walkways around water park, walk ways on beach. Disappointed there were no ice lollies for kids available in all inclusive.
Bedrooms are fresh and modern, food spectacular.

I had a short stay at Fodele Beach and had a lovely time, the staff contacted me before I arrived to check me in and arranged a convenient checkout and transport back to the airport, I was very impressed and will book this hotel again.

Lovely setting, right on the beach. Staff very helpful and friendly, food very good for buffet and three al a Carte restaurant meals included.
Room was a good size and separate area for teenage kids ideal. Only half hour drive from Heraklion airport and parking free at hotel. We rented a car as late flight and wanted to get to hotel ASAP. Car rental cheaper than private transfer and easy drive.
Paid for late check out as return flight not till after 11pm and was well worth it.

Definitely not a 5 star

Parts of the hotel had not yet opened, a restaurant a bar etc The water activities were also not offering the boat ride yet. The rooms basic the television had no apps and not working twice during the stay, definitely not a 5 star.
The room surfaces were not cleaned as nothing was ever moved and bedding not changed frequently even when a drink was spilled accidentally it was left dirty for the next night
The a la carte Greek restaurant was good and friendly the Italian lacked flavour and customer care
The kids club had no security we definitely would not leave children there and the entertainment was poor
The majority of the staff were amazing especially Poppi and the men driving the buggies to the rooms
Beautiful setting on the beach
Would definitely not go back again
They should state that all the facilities are not open or being offered

We went to Fodele for my 50th birthday and it was wonderful!
The seafront rooms were gorgeous, the grounds all look very modern, and the views were stunning.
I love waterslides and they were so much fun! Pools are nice, and the beach is spectacular.
Only drawbacks: the à la carte dining. The buffet actually tasted better than the à la carte, particularly the Italian restaurant. And sadly, the Greek restaurant forgot to bring us cake or do anything for my birthday as my husband had arranged. Still, overall, a very nice resort. Would recommend.

Not a 5 star hotel; not good value

This definitely isn’t a 5 star hotel, though we a good time and there positives:

-The room feels new and is a decent size but balcony is small. Cleaning is OK
-The food is great
-Alcohol is really good from the main bars in the evening (premium brands, good selection)
-The beach and waterpark are great
-The staff are friendly

BUT, there are many things that we’ve never experienced at a 5 star hotel and that would stop us staying again :

- The swimming pool isn’t big enough for the number of guests; lots of people were arguing with reception about it. The sun loungers are crammed in next to each other and you can’t get them most of the time - it resembles a 3 star hotel in Benidorm. (the beach is better and we paid €30 for a cabana most days to have a good spot)
-There is no drinks service by the pool or, more importantly, in any of the restaurants. If you want water at breakfast, wine at dinner, or a juice for your child, you have to go and queue for someone to serve you. They do bring water to your table at dinner but the staff are too busy and sometimes miss you. I’ve never known this in a 5, or even 4 star hotel. It's attrotious
-There are lots of extra charges such as for ice cream or cocktails on the beach
-There is no iron in the room and no way of getting one. Again, We’ve never known this in an hotel, let alone 5 star

Overall, our child loves it but we wouldn’t stay again and don’t think it is good value for money (€400 a night)

Good stay

We had overall a nice stay at Fodele beach. Positives: water park is great- very well organised and with lots os different slides and pools. It is the highlight of the hotel. Staff is nice and the entertainment team is absolutely fantastic- the best I have ever seen in hotels. Lots of entertainment options and evening shows. Beach is nice - not the most scenic but the water is warm and calm most days. Hotel is close to the airport (30min) which is very convenient. Negatives: hotel is built on a hill so be prepared to spend the whole day going up and down. Some parts of the hotel felt a bit tired and not 5 stars. For example the bathrooms by the pools. The lockers for the bathroom doors are dodgy and I got stuck twice and had to be released by people outside. The food could be better. There are lots of options on the main restaurant but generally food is oily. The wifi in the rooms doesn’t work. We moved rooms on the first night because of that but new room closer to reception was only marginally better. Staff drives around on golf carts which doesn’t feel safe for kids to walk around. Also the golf cart’s brake undid when we were removing our bags from it and almost hit our son. Lucky it was just a scare but it could have been serious.

OK Overall

Crete was the third stop on our trip and we were so excited to check out this amazing waterpark resort overlooking the Aegean Sea. Overall the resort is ok.

Things we loved: Staff was very friendly and helpful, Room was big and loved having 2 bathrooms, Waterpark was very fun, Beach was beautiful and the views even better. Loved the daily entertainment, we have never laughed harder than we did at the resort comedy show. Quick taxi ride from the Ferry Port or Airport.

Things we wish were different: It is an All-inclusive that is mostly self service, you serve yourself everywhere you go, have to get your own food, your own drinks, no towel, drink or food service at the beach or the pools. Felt like a self service resort which was very odd to us for a 5-star hotel . Food was the same everyday and got very boring very quickly, reservations for the only 2 other restaurants were very inconvenient and difficult to make, plus wines were not included in the restaurant reservations. The enormity of the resort also makes it a bit exhausting to go from one end to the other.

Beautifully located resort with a great beach and a very nice water park.
The resort is built on a mountain, so many stairs expect those who stay in the top rooms. There is a small train (active between 10:00 and 18:30) and a golf car to take you if you're not in shape to take the stairs.
We reserved 2 beach front rooms and requested to have adjacent rooms as we are a family with kids.
When we arrived, we received found that the rooms are comfortable, but quite old. The rooms were adjacent and inter-connected which was great.
In the evening we found that the location of the rooms (below the main swimming pool) is unfortunate because there was loud music in the pool area. The morning after, we asked if there was an option to change rooms and they gladly offered us to switch to a 2 bedroom family accommodation. No beach front, but much nicer and nicely renovated accommodation.
I would recommend going for a renovated room, but unfortunately, there is no easy way to know if a room is renovated or not when you book online.
The water park was the main reason we selected this resort, and it was indeed great fun.
We stayed in early October and the water in the swimming pool was cold, so we tried the heated pool (which is external), but the water there were not much warmer...
Breakfast is varied and excellent, but lunch and dinner, although varied, was not tasty.

Exceeded our highest expectations

We had high expectations, but the hotel managed to exceed even these highest expectations. Great service, best waterpark of all hotels we have been to, very big facility that could enable us even to dance in the big plaza to the sound of live music, and to eat meals without having to book in advance. And on top of that - gave us 4 hours to stay in one of our rooms for free until leaving to the airport. It was our second visit after 7 years and definitely would like to come back. Very recommended by our whole family (9,12 and 15 year old).

property: the resort is built on the side of a hill, a very steep hill. there is a small \"train\" that seats about 20 at most that goes by every 15-25 minutes, without it you'll suffer and it works till 22:30. back and forth from the room is not much of an option and takes time and effort. the waterpark is at the top of the mountain and the rest is at the bottom so prepare yourself if comming with kids, elderly or handicapped. there are a very limited amount of \"snackbars\", mostly for drinks not snacks. they too are limited by hours. the pools are not built for full capacity so if you want a chair at the pool you'll need to go down the mountain at about 06:30 and catch a place, a real bother, otherwise forget about it. the rooms are nice but a bit small but suffice. many toilets scattered in the premises. the beach is at the bottom and is very nice. the only way to leave the resort to get anywhere is by renting a car or ordering a taxi. nothing in the vicinity.
staff: the staff are very very polite and helpfull.
cleanliness: the resort is well maintained and very clean, aspecially the toilets which i think is important.
car rental: there is one minimarket (if you can call it that) that rents cars. the lady is very impolite and cheated us. she promised us a car \"full to full\" but gave us 3/4. when we confronted her she said we should bring a bucket and she will give us gasoline. supply and demand is a ***.
food: expected much much more diversity and choices, same every day

Had a great time at Fodele. Food was good. At the pool side and water slides not enough sun beds. You have to get your sun bed quite early. They should consider putting shade at the train stop. It was very hot and no shade. I would stay there again but when the prices are cheaper. I would not pay that price again. With my father’s heart condition we could not just walk up to our rooms we depended on the train. Making the reservation in March my father could’ve had a better room.

Great Family Friendly Resort

My family of four had a wonderful 3 night stay here. The facilities were great and they accommodated our young baby quite well. Our room was very clean and well kept. The food was great with many options including a buffet bar just for kids. The beach was wonderful. The resort partners with a water sports company that offers jet skis, wake boards, kayaks, and even a fly board which was a nice touch for the adventure seekers. The water sports aren't included in the all inclusive because it's a different company,but cost is reasonable. They offer a kids club, but wet didn't end up using it. The water slides and pools were great. My seven year old couldn't get enough. We just wish we had more time.

Fodele is the Walking Steps hotel.
Something is WRONG with the layout of the buildings in this hotel.
This hotel is not built in any consideration of kids who need strollers or immobile people.
The hotel is built on a hillside, instead of having path trails along the hill it is all steps over steps and more endless steps.
They do have a train that takes you up, but they have no way of taking a stroller on it. So, you walk and you walk from the beach with the steps to the reception, which also has 3 level of floors (with steps between :)
Climbing a hill with a stroller for 5 days wasn't easy. We are all more fit now that's for sure.

All of these not-mobile friendly problems should be written in large font everywhere - on the hotel's website - not written anywhere, in booking - NOt Written! We felt like we paid to be able to climb up and down and walking 4000 steps a day - just to get to the beach or to the pool area there is NO elevator, you have to WALK STEPS!

Not something a disabled person or a baby on a stroller can handle.
You can't even go to the restaurant without having to lift the stroller down 2 floors.

Other then the accessibility problem this hotel is overpriced. We paid $2000 for 4 nights. which sounds reasonable for a 5-star hotel, but we are still trying to understand how is this hotel a 5 stars hotel to begin with.

The dining room is TOO crowded - they should either time it differently or just make it larger, Or maybe the acoustics are bad.

Great hotel for families

Fondele beach is a large resort and caters perfectly for families looking for all inclusive relaxing holidays. The beach is great, there is a water park and few swimming pools. Our only complaint would be that the main swimming pool where the kids can safely stand up is always busy and not big enough to accommodate all the families in the resort. Fellow tourist were reserving the deck chair with their towels for the whole day so we never managed to find a free spot. Otherwise all was excellent . Amazing variety of food and drinks all day long. Stress free holidays and excellent, attentive staff . Recommended

Not a 5 star ... or even close to it.

Arrived at the hotel to be put in a room that was not what we ordered. Eventually we got moved rooms. New room was lovely and with a fab view. Cleaning- In the 10 nights, they didn't clean the floor and we had to ask to get the glasses replaced. Every other 5 star I've been to, if there are soft drinks in the inroom fridge,they are free, this isn't the case... but as there was no bottle opened it didn't matter! 1 bottle of water in room on arrival, not replaced during 10 days. No toiletries in room.
It's on a massive hill. Beware taking buggies. There is supposed to be a train that runs every few minutes to take you up but it broke down on our 2nd day. They used golf carts and minibuses but it was hard to get them to turn up. 200 steps to get up if you can't get them to come. They were great taking luggage up and down for you.
Reception were pretty useless.
Evening entertainment wasn't very good.
Pools were lovely and clean (but beware,they are freezing).
Beach was clean and enjoyed going in the sea.
Drinks - no cocktails until 5.30pm (and very limited range). All juices etc were long life synthetic tasting.. no fresh. Queues to get drinks. Bar staff were fab though.
Food - you couldn't book into the Italian if you were staying for a week as the waiting list was over a week... not on really!! Greek restaurant was okay but nothing special.
The lunch ''F' restaurant (named all day but is just 12-3/4)was nice but same thing every day.
Main restaurant was just 'okay'

GOOD FOR A FAMILY HOLIDAY

Great hotel for a family holiday with children. Has everything all in one place, - swimming pools, aqua park and although access to each can be difficult. There is a little train that will take you up to your rooms (if you not in main building) and aqua park but can be infrequent and a bit of a 'bun fight' to get a seat in peak times. So the steps and hot weather can make it hard work but good exercise. I loved the beach - always plenty of sun beds, not too busy even in August, beach bar and exceptionally clean loos/changing room etc., Private bay with warm sea and jet ski/activities etc.,
Food was average - I like salads so I was Ok, chips and pizza were popular but all meat/fish tended to be overcooked and lukewarm. Staff fantastic and so was my room. Recently re furbished and although up quite a few steps I loved it. New bathroom etc., and whole resort was kept spotless. Beach loos cleaned every hour. Plenty of choice of drinks on the all inclusive and no shortage. Very hard to get a seat by pool although there was a no reserve bed policy all were taken by 8.30am with towels on and hotel didn't enforce the policy at all. Squashed in like sardines but probably better not so bad out of school holidays. When there was entertainment it was poor to say the least. Fine for the little children who like to dance - but nothing at all for adults but on the positive side time for families to be together and improve their card skills!

This hotel deliver 3* service but charges 5* prices. Excellent location, water park, family room and beach.

Unfortunately food is not good, drinks poor, all self service, restaurant too small, appalling dress code and encourages bad behaviour

If you want a 3* where the kids run wild. this hotel will be ideal. However, if you appreciate global 4 or 5* service. then this isn't for you

The staff especially the animation team are fab!

Disappointment alround. The rooms were cramped. The resturant was noisy and you had to wait for every meal to get a table and a lot of rude guests who would barge infront of you to get food. On one evening people were literally fighting over plates and there were huge queues for some food! The one and only restaurant can not cope with the amount of people. Also the hotel website led us to believe that there were two other restuarants to choose from for the all inclusive but you actually had to pay extra for these. The food was ok but the menu rarely changed (we were there for 10 days!) nightmare! For all inclusive guests the bar stopped free drinks at 11pm, after that you had to pay!! not great when you are enjoying yourselves with older children who wanted to stay up until midnight. The water park was ok. The big positive was the animation team who put on a great variety of activites. They were always smiling and great fun to be around. OUr kids absolutely loved them!!

Idyllic but would not know u were in Greece. Did not play one Greek song in 5 days. Some workers were foreigners who didn't speak Greek. Waterpark attendants excellent and went beyond the call of duty! Guests snooty and I'll mannered.

Lovely resort, loads to do

This is a lovely and lively place for a family holiday. Loads to do or equally, easy to chill out and relax. Because there is do much sunbed space around the pools and on the beach it never felt overcrowded even though it is a big hotel. Enthusiastic animation team. Try and get a room close to the Reception area otherwise it's a long walk up!

Vacation with the kids

This is truly a resort, with many facilities and activities. Overall I enjoyed my stay.

Pro's: Spacious modern rooms with lcd tv's and free mini-bar. All included. Many outdoor activities, large selection of pools, beach activities and water slides. Hotel staff is courteous, fast and efficient. Wide selection of foods at all meals.
Cocktail bar is included, and the staff there is fast and friendly.

Con's: The hotel/resort is built on a mountain, so if your room is distant from the reception it may take you some time to reach the main restaurant, pool and the parking facility through the maze of stairs, and a long climb awaits you on your way back. The shower does not contain any shampoo or conditioner, only soap (so bring your own shampoo before your visit). Fruits and vegetables are fresh and good. The cooked food is about average. There is hardly any 3G cellular reception (Local Wind Mobile operator has the best reception), and WiFi prices are not cheap. Safe costs around 4 Euros per day. Caterpillars find their way into the room several times a day, though harmless, it is an annoyance.

Like a cheap carnival cruise

Rooms are awful. (like a motel 6)

Only recommending feature was the water slides but needed more people to supervise so they could all be open during the day instead of half in the morning and the other half in the afternoon.

Meals like college cafeteria (not a good college-very little modification) with the exception of the Morning crepes which were excellent

Man hört den Strassenlärm gut je nach Lage des Zimmers. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich im ganzen Hotel. Sehr viele Leute am Buffet und laut im Hauptrestaurant, wenig Möglichkeiten draussen zu essen. Das italienische und griechische Restaurant sind gemütlich und sehr fein. Das Essen und Getränke allgemein sehr gut. Strand und Poolanlagen sehr schön und ideal für Kinder. Sportangebot wie Yoga, Pilates etc. wenig. Zimmer schön und sauber.

Ne peut pas prétendre à 5 étoiles si je le compare au dernier établissement que j’ai eu la chance de fréquenter l’an dernier.

The hotel was i a very nice location and very safe. The reception staff were very welcoming and explained us everything. The different restaurants were great and also the main buffet area which we actually liked better. The sea is next to the hotel and the view was great. The lounge next to the mainpool were very spacious and invited you to relax. You can store your luggage on the day of departure and also refresh yourself before going.

Insgesamt entspricht das Hotel nicht dem Standard eines 5-Sterne-Hauses. Das bereitgestellte Zustellbett war ein veraltetes Klappbett mit sehr dünner Matratze und bot keinerlei Komfort. Auch der Strand war enttäuschend: Er liegt in einer Bucht direkt an den Felsen, ist weder exklusiv noch besonders schön, nachmittags voller Algen und zudem für jedermann frei zugänglich. Der Zugang ist unpraktisch gestaltet. Selbst die internen Transportwege wirken wenig professionell, da ein heruntergekommener Wagen eingesetzt wird.
Fazit: In dieser Preisklasse gibt es definitiv deutlich bessere Hotels.

Heel goed hotel, tegenvallende kamer

Dit is een zeer goed hotel alles vanaf de receptie naar beneden werd vernieuwd. Grote keuze in de buffetrestaurants en goede kwaliteit, vriendelijk personeel, sommige wat meer dan andere. De bars waren voorzien van alles wat je nodig hebt en goede kwaliteit van cocktails. Italiaans restaurant is nu buffetresaturant dit vonden wij geen meerwaarde tegenover de buffetrestaurants.
Zoals in de meeste hotels dien je ook een handdoek te leggen om plaats te hebben aan het zwembad.
Het waterpark was leuk met een 7 tal glijbanen
Voor ons was de grootste tegenvaller onze kamer in het oudere gedeelte boven het hotel. Deze kamers waren deels opgefrist maar niet wat wij ervan hadden verwacht. Onze dochter moest slapen in een zetelbed die zo goed als geen matras had en waarvan de veren in haar rug duwden. Door de volboeking van het hotel was er geen andere kamer beschikbaar
Indien je dit hotel overweegd raden wij het zeker aan maar zorg wel voor een vernieuwde kamer met zeezicht

Ein echtes Urlaubsparadies! Das Hotel ist riesig und bietet alles, was das Herz begehrt – besonders für Familien. Der direkte Zugang zum Meer ist unschlagbar, und der Ausblick aus unserem Zimmer mit Meerblick war einfach traumhaft. Das Personal war durchweg freundlich, hilfsbereit und gut organisiert – man fühlt sich willkommen vom ersten Moment an.

Der Wasserpark ist ein echtes Highlight, besonders für Kinder (aber auch Erwachsene hatten ihren Spaß 😉). Und wie man es von Kreta erwartet: Sonne satt den ganzen Sommer über! Wer Erholung, Spaß und griechisches Urlaubsfeeling sucht, ist hier genau richtig.
