DOMES NORUZ CHANIA, AUTOGRAPH COLLECTION 5* Deluxe

What an experience. My wife and 16 year old son visited this hotel for 10 days, as it's adults only and they allow 16 year olds so we booked it. There's a lot of little gold nugget surprises they do when you get there which I wont spoil - just go and experience it. I'll try and keep it brief so you have the facts: Hotel : Immaculate, very trendy, totally relaxed Room : So smart, well maintained, perfect aircon Staff : Met with a smile wherever and whenever you talk to them Pool : Cant be beaten, quiet with cool mood music and staff only too helpful Bar : Exceptional, great team, more drinks selection then you can imagine Poolside Food : Press a buzzer and they take your order and bring it to you Beach : Beautiful, private, loads of beds Pool Beds : You wont need to get up early to grab beds, there'll be loads available Breakfast : Wow - go and see Evening Meal : Top class food, treated like royalty and done start me on the wine I don't think this place can be beaten in my opinion for all I've given here, the only down side is at some point you have to leave and return home.

Amazing hotel. The staff are fantastic. The food delicious and the sunbeds comfortable and plentiful. Upgraded on last day to sea view room with private pool which was amazing.

Could possibly be one of our best holidays yet, and I have been to a fair few countries and destinations both in Europe, Greece and the rest of the world. The service and staff were outstanding from start to finish. Nothing short of perfect customer service but in an unintrusive and helpful way. Always happy to help or attend to your needs. Plenty of sunloungers round the two pools and the private beach area and very comfy ones at that. Everything is so clean, fresh towels and bed linen every day. The grounds and hotel is immaculate and smells divine. The food was delicious. Although not much option on the evening menu and the menu stayed the same for the whole 10 days. Limited for vegetarians so we ate out most nights but plenty of places to go to eat. Great quiet location with enough little shops and restaurants to get to on foot but Chania only about 15 mins in a taxi or bus and very easy to get to. Rooms gorgeous and well designed, if a little small, and very little space for clothes to hang or put away. I would say however you really don’t need to take much as all towels provided, separate ones for pools, beach and showering. Shampoos, conditioners, shower wash and body lotion all wonderful there so really no need to take your own. And honestly it wasn’t a problem as you don’t spend huge amounts of time in the room anyway. So many extra touches. Lots of little gifty bits to take home. I had my birthday when we were there and the team went out of their way to help celebrate. We came back to the room from the pool and I had balloons on the bed a gorgeous cake and a bottle of champagne in the room. Highly recommend. First class service.

This hotel ticked every box for us. The location seconds from a sandy beach and beautiful easy swimming sea, exceptional food, fantastic staff and tranquil. Cleanliness off the chart, everywhere and even teams cleaning off the sand from sunbeds, of which there were plenty, no rush for securing a spot no matter what time of day. That’s very unusual these days. We will go back. Hire a car an experience beautiful villages and beaches too.

As many reviews have pointed out - the downside of this otherwise overall good hotel is the bar music - it leaks into the seaview rooms so that you are never fully relaxed. management needs to halve the volume.
