During my stay, I really enjoyed the stunning location and the beautiful swimming pools that added to the relaxing atmosphere. The food quality was impressive, especially the varied dinner options. However, I was disappointed with the dated rooms and inconsistent maintenance across the facilities. While the staff was friendly and accommodating, the overall value for money felt lacking given the issues with cleanliness in some areas.

The Kalypso Cretan Village Resort & Spa has an amazing setting with stunning cliffs overlooking the sea, contributing to a unique atmosphere that's hard to beat. The rooms, while spacious, are in need of updating, and the service could use some improvement, especially during peak times. The dining experience features a buffet with good quality food, but can feel a bit limited.

The hotel boasts a stunning location on the cliffs with breathtaking views of the sea, making it a standout feature of my stay. The variety of swimming pools provided a great place for relaxation, but the rooms left a lot to be desired in terms of cleanliness and modern amenities. The dining options were decent, though the food quality could be improved. Overall, while the natural beauty of the surroundings is a big plus, the hotel needs significant upgrades and attention to detail to reach its full potential.
