Staff was great we enjoyed the food I think the main draw back was it’s a very popular spot on hot days and there isn’t designated parking for people staying at the resort, so sometimes when we would come back it was really hard to find a parking spot

Could do so so much better

Reception - nice welcome from the lady at reception, we went all inclusive but evening bar wasnt - false advertisement on the baord at reception as when we asked for ultra all inclusive they said oh sorry we dont do that anymore.
Pool bar - was meant to open at 10.30 but it wasnt the guy will arrive at 11 and he would say that he needed 30 min to organise
Pool areas floor SUPER DANGEROUS as the floor was super wet no sign for wet floor and tails are so dangerous- saftey 0
Sunbed old and dirty
Food was ok they could do so much better, staff super tired and sorry to say to have white tops they should change it for all the services as some of their tops were yellow from sweat.
Rooms old and dated, uncomfortable beds, smelly and leaking toilet.

The only thing that save this hotel is the location and the view.

Beautiful location. Very cheap accommodations. Not as advertised. Rooms were terrible. Bathrooms were clogged and no one could fix them. Food was bad. It’s like management has given up on the place. I would visit for a day but not spend the night. We paid $360 EUROS for this place and I feel so ripped Off!!

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…

Gorgeous, quiet location.

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.

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.

Restaurant : the quality of the foods was really poor , there was flies everywhere , you couldn’t identify what was what because there was no sign or no identification.
Spa : it was a let down when we walk to the spa to spa table was disgusting, there was no privacy at all my it’s across of the gym , i don’t know should be calm a gym at all , it’s completely empty.
Bar : it’s quiet okay they have a good selection of drinks , definitely enjoy it
Overall this place have so
much potential to be great , the views is amazing , they really have to step up ! the pool is amazing , the bathroom pool not at all they should have someone 24/7 there to keep it cleaning it.
The staff is very friendly and helpful they help and told where i should go eat outside of the resort …… they shouldn’t call this place a resort because they have only 1 restaurants beside the view they have nothing to offer lol

Lovely setting with its own private cove perfect for snorkeling and swimming. Stunning to look at! Rooms are average. Whole place needs a bit of an upgrade.. front desk lady was rude and not helpful at all.. Buffet breakfast is very good, but they seem short staffed so get there early to eat, avoid the crowd and the shortages of certain things. 1 swimming pool is closed, the ‘gym’ is a treadmill, a couple dumbbells and a pull up bar that is falling off the wall (dangerous). $10 to rent an umbrella and 2 sunbeds at the cove.

Kalypso, Plakias

Our stay at Kalypso in October 2018, was very good.
We really used the hotel as a base for the local area, you need to be aware that it is not in walking distance from Plakias and about 40 minutes walk from the nearest beaches, so a hire car is essential. Plakias is 8 Euro each way in a taxi.
We had an initial problem in that due to a recent storm, the hotel was overbooked. This resulted in us being allocated a poor standard room for a night. This was rectified the next day.
The initial receptionist was helpful, but just showed us the room without telling us why it was so bed, resulting in our request to be upgraded to what we had booked. All other staff in the hotel were very good and friendly.
Our new room was great, cleaned daily, with a sea view and a balcony. The bed was comfortable.
We did not use the pools, but swam a few mornings in the lagoon area, which again was good.
I cannot comment on the hotel entertainment.
I would not use the hotel again, due to the need for taxis if you are to have a drink in one of the local village restaurants as 16 Euro is a big increase on a 30 to 50 Euro meal.

Really enjoyed our stay. The girls on reception desk were particularly helpful to me on several occasions. Hard workers. Nice breakfasts. 3 separate Swimming Pools so you could still swim even if some guests had turned the main pool into a noisy Water Polo pitch most of the day. Nearby Plakias not too touristy, but offers just enough to wander around a couple of nights. 10-12 Taverners, 10 -12 other shops. Nice beaches. We did the walk from hotel to Plakias beach. Not an hour, more like 90 minutes and quite testing. Need to be fit. We were wearing just sandals and shorts, but some people coming the opposite way were geared up with what looked like Mountaineering sticks and clothing. Didn't see any snakes, spiders or scorpions.

Beautiful setting, excellent pools, spacious rooms

For the time it takes to drive to it (1h30m on not the best roads from Chania airport...) it certainly delivers once you arrive there!

Go for the all-inclusive option if you're provided with the option, you will not regret it. We were on \"full breakfast and full dinner\" where we did expect to also get a free alcoholic drink, apparently not included.

The views are stunning. Don't restrict yourself to staying by the (3) pools. There's lots to see around, the hotel grounds are immense!

Staff (reception, bar, cleaning) are lovely and (mostly) helpful.

Good location not so great rooms.

This hotel is well worth a visit for a short amount of time. Before you set of I would advise researching the journey. The roads aren't the best and sometimes get extremely narrow. However, on arrival you will be impressed with your surroundings.

There is plenty of room for parking cars and you are greeted with some fabulous views. When I'm reception the staff are friendly and informative. The wifi is only accessible in reception and isn't great. The swimming pools are in good condition and offer some good views too. There is also an area where you can get into the sea! Bringing a snorkel along is advisable and there is plenty of opportunity to explore. For those more active there are some great walks and activities put on by the hotel.

Where this hotel falls short is their accommodation. The rooms are clean and spacious but very dated. The bathroom and kitchen area was in need of some major TLC! The tv is also very dated and barely works. If spending anytime in the room then bring along your own entertainment.

The restaurant is also very basic. They offer a buffer for breakfast and dinner but the quality of food wasn't the best. Although there was lots to choose from if you have a choice I would venture into a different town/ village. The bar area was good and offered a wide selection of drinks which were very reasonably priced.

Overall, we felt this was a good short stay and would come back if in the area.

3rd time at Kalypso

The greatest thing about Kalypso is the pools and beach, as well as the location, we love Plakias. The main problem with the hotel is the old decor of the rooms and public areas. It's a shame since this hotel could easily be the gem of the South of Crete. Major renovation is desperately needed...

Off the Beaten Path

Kalypso is built around a lagoon and is reachable by its own road. Their bus goes into town regularly but having your own car is an advantage. Rooms are rented weekly but cleaned daily - a bonus. The staff are friendly without gushing. The bathrooms are in good working order. Water is drinkable. At least we drank it and were fine. The big pool is close to 50M, two smaller outdoor pools and a smaller and heated indoor pool plus lagoon are all salt water. Pool bar at big pool open 10-6pm. There is a tennis court, spa, volleyball/badminton court, amphitheatre, mini-mart, snorkelling, scuba diving and some trails. Wifi is free in the lounge and at the pool - in rooms it is extra. The lounge has nightly entertainment. Plakias is a nice town nearby, although walking there would take some time. The mountain around the hotel is volcanic rock . You might want to sample the food in Plakias. The night sky is spectacular. Kalypso is also child and pet friendly. There are also a lot of stairs as it is built on a hillside, and is not wheelchair friendly. We recommend this resort to people without mobility problems. .

Some positives and negatives

A bit of a strange one this one.... Located 10-12 minutes drive out of (definitely unwalkable) on remote headland, down a skinny road (and dangerously curvy and dark at night). A bit like an 80s cult hideout village, many of those who visit are \"all drink and all food\" package european families (boy do they eat, and it shows). Positives are the coastal vista and unique rock pool swimming area with great sun lounges and small reef with surrosing fish numbers, easy and safe for kids to explore, and great pool area. Negatives are the remote location which is impossible without car or scooter, tiring sports facilities (such as fitness are is ancient and unusable), 80s looking constructions which make the rooms look tired, and something not quite right about the staff, such as smoking in the open office area at reception which makes that area stink and seriously slow check in andcheck out procedures. I am a seasoned traveller, and this place was a bit confusing!

Wonderful location

I stayed with my 4 year old son. The staff were all really helpful and friendly. The location and views were amazing. The room was big and clean and air conditioned with a big terrace. The bathroom wasn't special but was perfectly fine. There are 2 smaller pools and one larger pool. I really liked that they were salt water. There is a natural gully into the sea with no beach but good for swimming. 10 mins by taxi to Plakias. There are good meal timings and I really liked the food. There is also a mini market shop within the hotel. Guests with mobility issues need to take care as it is set into the mountain so a bit of a climb to get anywhere. I intend to return as it was friendly, had brilliant facilities and stunning views with friendly staff.

Kalypso Cretan Village

A bit off the beaten track, but a beautiful location, nice sized rooms, and a really good range of food for breakfast in the morning. Quite a few swimming pools, but also a sea inlet for swimming in too (although I didn't actually go in). Probably best located for people who want somewhere just to chill out in the hotel and surroundings, rather than going out to explore other bits of the island.

The Kalypso is a mixed bag

The facility is extremely scenic, but it's not conveniently located. You can't get a pool chair to save your life because people put towels on them in the middle of the night. The pools are salt water pools, which was rather strange. The bathrooms smell because there's no p trap. Our first night the air conditioner was broken and it was sweltering in the room. We didn't get a new room until 1:00 am. Also, it's on the water but there's no real beach there.

Away from it all...

If you would like to spend your vacation away from it all, the Kalypso is where you would like to be. It is located between a mountain and a cliff on the Libyan Sea. The grounds are beautiful, including the swimming lagoon. We thought there was going to be a sand beach based off of the description of the resort, but you will need to travel a few kilometers away to find the sand beach. The terrain is difficult to navigate because of how mountainous it is...for someone with back problems, walking up many stairs and inclines could be troublesome. The hotel rooms are fine, but the bathrooms need some work...probably some new plumbing. The pools are beautiful but salt water...so if chlorine and salt water are your thing, enjoy the pools. Please note, though, the guests are allowed to claim chairs near the pool for the entire day, so if you do not claim one during the middle of the night, you will not enjoy the comfort of a chair. The resort offered a buffet breakfast, lunch and dinner that was plentiful, but not necessarily kid friendly. The wait staff was very friendly and helpful, especially the staff that was Greek. We did have a good time at the Kalypso, but we do not see ourselves going back there for another vacation.

Mixed feelings

Overall we enjoyed our stay as we had a car and we could go to Plakios for lunch and dinner (quite reasonable prices compared to other European euro rip-offs). The hotel location was stunning with the sea, the pools, the rocks and sun beds and as we spent nearly all our time outside, the poor quality of the hotel rooms did not detract from our stay. However for the record - the bathroom was not 4 star quality by any means. Appalling shower, curtain kept falling down, water not always hot and towels of very poor quality. In addition we did not get a double bed as promised - we had twins pushed together so we kept falling down the middle! TV all Greek (we didn't care but some might), no tea and coffee service, room cleaning poor e.g. glasses not washed and on the last day the beds not even made. They forgot our hand towels three times even though we complained. We did however get another pillow after asking - wow! Outside the room, breakfast was average - cooked food was cold most mornings. We had dinner once and very average. Went out after that. Tennis court also looked very poor quality. Pools nice and clean and fun for kids. Too much sun bed bagging but that's life. Evening entertainment - seemed quite lively. Lots of Poles staying there who were very civil and well mannered. Service at the main bar was very slow the night we stayed in. Needed more staff there.

Kalypso Cretan Village - view + value for money

Great view from this hotel.
stuff almost did not know a word in English, but we recovered that...
For two persons it is a great room with twin bed. it also includes a 3rd bed for a child.
The TV is tiny 14\" screen. was tough to see anything, compared to my LCD at home. I guess they count that you will do outdoors activities all day - sea, pool, gym, massage, so you will be too tired to watch TV...
The signs to the hotel could be better, but asking few people helped us find the hotel.
Breakfast, which was the only meal we had there, was a buffet, just little bit more than the very basic, and its quality was also basic minus (the orange juice which I could not drink, coffe - just the Grek coffe with no alternative, etc).
The hotel is a very good value for the money.

Best Hotel in Southern Crete!

When booking this hotel, I had some reservations, since there were a few bad reports in the past.

My wife and I wanted to visit Crete and celebrate my 40th birthday in the romantic and gorgeous beaches and mountains.

Well, Kalypso has been the greatest surprise of our last vacation. This was my 7th visit to Crete in the past 10 years, my favorite destination in the Mediterranean for vacationing, motorbike trips and both couples and family vacations. Kalypso is by far the best hotel I have stayed in on the island, especially for that price range!

First, L O C A T I O N !!!! wow, a small paradise in the mountains, with that gorgeous fjord-like beach, simply heaven.

Most of the hotel has been recently renovated; restaurant, lobby, terrace and pool furniture is brand new. Room furniture (bed, sofa, table & chairs) are brand new.

The room was huge and nicely decorated, clean and very well maintained, and so was the bath room. Huge terrace with sea view was perfect for having a drink in the afternoon.

Breakfast (we took BB) was gorgeous, with so many choices of yogurt, cereals fruits and vegetables, cheeses, meats and freshly made eggs and pastries.

We will surely return to the Kalypso and its great hotel and nice staff. The proximity to Plakias was also a bonus, as it is one of the best small villages to visit in the southern area of Crete. A walking distance from the Kalypso are few of the best beaches in Crete. Getting a rental car would certainly widen the activity options in the area.

Thank you Kalypso for a great vacation!

Die Anlage ist sauber, die Pools sind wirklich schön und die Aussicht einfach toll – perfekt zum Entspannen. Auch die Mitarbeiter waren sehr freundlich und stets bemüht, uns den Aufenthalt angenehm zu machen.

Das Frühstück war in Ordnung, aber oft leider nicht wirklich frisch. Die Zimmer sind geräumig und sauber, allerdings schon etwas renovierungsbedürftig – hier könnte die Anlage in Zukunft aufholen.

Insgesamt aber ein schöner, erholsamer Aufenthalt mit einer traumhaften Lage und viel Potenzial.

Complexe vieillissant

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.

Emplacement incroyable au milieu des falaises, facilité d'accès à la mer avec une variété encroyable de poissons.

Hôtel au milieu de nul part…
Le buffet est immonde, le personnel désagréable et les infrastructures décevantes…
Si vous aimez les piscines à l’eau salé vous serez servis.
Les transats de la plage sont payant d’ailleurs il n’y a aucun sable.
Aucune animation aucune activité rien à faire
Le all inclusive est pitoyable tout est en extra…
A fuire

A part la vue et l’emplacement c’est tout, c’est pas un hôtel à conseiller pour séjourner, juste de passage ça va, loin de tout, pas de navette pour le transfert de l’aéroport, en tout cas ceci n’est pas un 4*

Decepcionante!

Muito decepcionante! As fotos não refletem a realidade, o hotel está completamente abandonado. Todos os móveis, instalações estão em péssimas condições e o mais chocante de tudo foi a zona da piscina com placas cortantes e oxidadas no chão , muito perigoso para crianças pequenas. O único consolo é a praia que está ao lado, realmente paradisíaca mas não recomendo que fiquem no hotel.

The location, views, pool, mountains and the see are so beautiful but sadly the food and cleanliness are bad. We even went to the village to eat. The village is near 10m with car.

La posizione è il suo punto di forza, assolutamente unica. La struttura è decisamente di alto livello, sebbene, qua e là sarebbero necessarie molte piccole riparazioni. In Grecia la manutenzione non sanno cosa sia, ma se si accetta questo fatto generale, la struttura è una delle migliori della sua classe.
La ristorazione è di alto livello, con molti piatti della cucina greca tutti i giorni.
Le piscine sono ottime, con ombrelloni e sdraio gratuiti, e specialmente quella di acqua di mare è sempre pulitissima (le altre due meno).
L'accesso al mare è da scogliera, facilitato da almeno tre scalette, e l'acqua è limpidissima e ricchissima di vita sottomarina. Se però si vuole la sabbia, allora non andate su una scogliera, per poi lamentarvi...! Non ha senso.)
Una grossa pecca: l'invadente presenza del Diving Center, che fa liberamente usufruire del parcheggio dell'Hotel ai suoi clienti. Non ha senso che i clienti dell'Hotel non trovino nessun posto auto libero, perchè i clienti del diving li hanno occupati tutti (anche se ufficialmente non potrebbero).
Altra grossa pecca: l'animazione serale è inesistente. Lo staff di animazione è formato da due persone sole, di cui una si deve occupare di luci e strumentazione tecnica: cosa mai potranno fare? Di spettacoli non se ne parla, al massimo serata-giochi. L'hotel cerca di rimediare ingaggiando personale esterno due volte a settimana per un po' d'intrattenimento in piu', ma non chiamiamola animazione.

Sehr schönes Hotelgelände, man fühlt sich dort gleich wohl. Nur die Einrichtung der Zimmer ist etwas veraltet und teilweise defekt :(

Hotel in super Lage! Personal sehr bemüht.

Schöner Aufenthalt, ruhiges Zimmer mit Meerblick, sehr gutes Essen (auch mit nationalen Gerichten), 3 Pools, davon ein sehr grosser Pool zum Schwimmen (Wasserqualität= leider viel Chlor)
gutes Preis:Leistungsverhältnis! Mietwagen empfehlenswert.

Courez loin, nom de Zeus !!

Si vous aimez l’ambiance des hôtels-club bas de gamme : cet hôtel est pour vous.
Dès le lever du jour, c’est la guerre des transats autour des piscines ( pas toujours très propres). Il faut en surcroît payer 10 € pour 2 transats (vieux et sales!!)
Des personnes extérieures à l’hotel squattent les piscines et la crique.
Nous avions le plaisir d’avoir une chambre en hauteur avec vue mer et terrasse plutôt sympa; dommage, elle empestait le tabac froid et les vitres avaient dû être nettoyées en juillet .... 2017. L’ensemble des équipements est plus que vieillot.
Le personnel fait son job sans beaucoup d’implication, au restaurant, le rosé est imbuvable (mais non échangé !), ne demandez pas de glaçons: la machine est cassée. Si vous avez prévu votre petit déjeuner à la première heure, vous devrez attendre que la fine équipe du service veuille bien tout mettre en place a son bon gré...A la première heure, ne lorgnez pas trop du côté de la cuisine, l’état de propreté général vous couperait pour le coup l’appétit.

C’est tellement nul qu’on pourrait presque en rire: à oublier très vite‼️

Hôtel bien situé, vu sur la mer mais attention la plage est à 1/2 environ pour les bons marcheurs, crique avec école de plongée à proximité.Les chambres sont spacieuses mais vétustes et surtout climatisation très bruyante mais nécessaire vu les températures caniculaires.Coffre fort cassé et frigo sans boissons journalière !!!! Le petit déjeuner continental varié et bon.

Hôtel ennuyeux à éviter

Semaine du 28 juillet au 4 août 2017 plus que décevante au Kalypso Cretan Village. Certes, le cadre est magnifique, les piscines sont belles et propres, l’hôtel est beau, sa restauration satisfaisante.
Mais où sont les activités décrites dans les documents ? On cherche encore « l’équipe d’animation » et les activités annoncées en journée et en début de soirée. Pas de miniclub, pas de danses en couple, rien à l’amphi théâtre, rien sur le ‘bateau’, pas de discothèque … bref pour ceux et celles qui attendent un séjour chaleureux et animé passez votre chemin. En arrivant de Plakias ou d’Héraklion, ouvrez bien vos yeux pour trouver la pancarte Kalypso noyée au milieu d’autres et de plus placée d’un seul côté de la route.
Quand vous arriverez, à part un accueil hôtelier très cordial, n’attendez rien d’autre provenant d’une équipe d’animation fictive : par exemple quelques informations pratiques, sur le sentier qui doit mener à une vraie plage, sur la région, sur les moyens de s’y déplacer, sur des excursions, sur des services de santé, bref le petit minimum. Petit détail, oubliez le français, utilisez l’anglais et mieux le grec.
En résumé, il y a plein de services décrits sur le site de l’hôtel, photos à l’appui, qui ont du exister … mais qui ont disparu déjà depuis un moment vu en particulier l’état d’abandon de certains endroits.
Ceci dit, l’endroit comporte pour des enfants nombre d’endroits dangereux et peu sécurisés. D’autant qu’il n’existe plus rien pour eux.
