Somatas Holidays from NZ$1,201

Just got back from one of the best weeks holiday my family and I have had. We were greeted on arrival by the wonderful staff with a welcome drink and the warmest of welcomes. A quick and easy check in, including a small history of the hotel being having used to have been the French Consulate. Shown up to our room and guided on the hotel and the rooms controls, we felt relaxed straight away. A short rest stop, and as we went to leave the hotel for a walk, we were told about the buses and transport options and wished a lovely evening. A short walk (100yards) to the bus stop and on the number 11 bus into Chania town. Coming back later that evening, we were greeted in what we discovered to be the normal way by the hotel staff, happy and cheerful and interested in our evening. We had a pleasant drink in the garden, and retired to a very comfortable room and beds. Breakfast the following morning was served until 11, we never arrived until 10:30, this was as we discovered never an issue, and the staff always greeted us happy to help no matter what and when. Breakfast was two fold, a 3 tier plate with breads, cakes, pastries, and two juice drinks and a fabulous nutty chocolate thingy. The, the al la carte course would come, a choice of pancakes, eggs and other. Enough to have a different choice each day, rounded off with fresh water and coffee of choice. Every day was the same excellent quality and service, we quite often spent until 12 there and a coffee top up was always offered

Great resort with huge pool and the beach nearby. There is a lot of dining options in the area and the location is not too far from famous beaches, cities and hikes.

We had the most incredible time at Phos Hotel! Me and my best friend booked Phos Hotel for our yearly girls’ holiday and we were just blown away by the service, cleanliness and friendliness here. The hotel is absolutely beautiful and exactly as pictured - it’s really peaceful and relaxing as it’s not a huge hotel which we prefer. The staff were incredible and always went above and beyond for us! Maria and Petros were both fantastic, so kind and helpful, printing off the bus timetable, booking excursions and giving us recommendations of places to go! Akis on the bar and the security guy were all so friendly and made us feel so welcome and safe! Our room was spotless (and continued to be, housekeeping was fantastic!), we had a view over the pool, which was glorious to wake up to every day. Breakfast was lovely with lots of variety, and again the staff were super friendly and took good care of us. The location was perfect for us as we wanted easy access to the beach, but also the ability to be able to get into Chania easily by public transport! Chania is a €2 20 minute bus journey away, so super easy and cheap to get to! We also went to Rethymno which was just over an hour away by bus and only about €7 (you have to go to Chania first and get the bus from there!). We just had the most amazing time here, wish we could come back already!! Would definitely recommend!

My husband and I loved this hotel! It was super modern, the breakfast each morning was amazing, and the staff was so nice. The hotel has free underground parking which is a perk. The location was great - away from the crowded city center. Having a private pool was very nice and relaxing with great views. The room was so clean and very tasteful. We enjoyed our stay and will gladly return!

Great hotel, all staff were really friendly and helpful, just very relaxed and hospitable. The reception staff arranged tours and car hire for us, really easy. As other reviews, the breakfast is amazing. The ice cold face towels by the pool very welcome, these little touches make a difference!
