Reviews for Kiani Beach Family Resort- All Inclusive
Review 1:We had unfortunately bad luck with the weather resulting in more sightseeing of the island than planned including walking the Imbros gorge which was also nice.
Review 2:Nice all-inclusive hotel with a personal feeling. Excellent service and a very good local buffet with many choices for breakfast as well as lunch and dinner. Compact hotel area with all facilities nearby including private hotel beach by the ocean. Strategic location outside Chania with direct access to the main road along the north coast and free parking. Helpful staff in reception including guest relation manager "Antonis" talking excellent English and assisting with whatever question you have. Very good over all value for money.
Review 3:The all inclusive non alcoholic drinks were rather limited. We didn't have a TV signal for most of the time we were there and as it rained a lot that mattered. The Wifi was also fairly poor, you certainly couldn't stream any media.
Review 4:The location was lovely and the hotel and grounds were well laid out. It was only a 15 minute walk along the beach into the village. The beds were fantastically comfortable and you were provided with a selection of pillows so you could choose the one that suited you best.
Review 5:Red and white wine on tap could have been a bit better quality but there was always good quality bottled wine available at an extra cost so not too bad.
Review 6:Staff were excellent and our children loved it, the animation team were really friendly and helpful and all the staff were attentive to any of our requirements and always made a point of greeting our children and made us feel very welcome. Good location for children and they loved the swings, slides, beach and swimming pools, would definetely go back.
Review 7:It is a totally Family hotel with screaming kids everywhere ..... in the middle of NOWHERE ..... boring if you are without kids !! It is not a 5-star ..... maybe good 3 or midlle 4 !! Food is ok .... but NOT greeat and drinks are horrible !!
Review 8:It is very close to the sea and pool area is ok. Most the staff is very nice and helpfull :-) If you dont like sun ...... sounds crazy but the area has a lot of bad weather :-(
Review 9:First night i got a diferent type of room witch upset me.It was a downgraded room and I had to stay there until the next day.But I was still charged the same money.
Review 10:Food,Service,Staff,Hotel,second room
Review 11:Absolutely SPECTACULAR!!!!!!! Somewhat secluded which is what we wanted for our trip! Staff was so friendly and helpful the entire time! I'm definitely staying here again and recommending kiani resort to EVERYONE!!!!
Review 12:Everything was good, and the kids enjoyed but just to mention small points; 80's activity in the evenings (Karaoke, Bingo) Working Staff was short, so when they are doing activity outdoor, the close the Kids Indoor facility, it comes to that, that we got only one chance to visit it during the all vacation.
Review 13:Food was good, wide varity. Hotel crew were very nice and helpful. 20 Min' from Chania. Very nice accomodation.
Review 14:Too expensive for that service. Free drinks (alcoholic and non alcoholic) were awful.
Review 15:Nice beach and sea. Nice view. Good food. Large enough and clean rooms.
Review 16:Poor quality facilities, the resort is very tired looking and in the middle of nowhere. The wifi is awful and barely works. There is only one bar and it closes at 11.00pm each night. The only thing to do is lie by the pool
Review 17:Food
Review 18:The beer and wine included are heavily diluted which means you have to buy proper wine and beer separately
Review 19:Nice relaxed allinclusive for families, we stayed a couple of days as planned. Staying longer for a couple will be quite boring if you like to do other things than beeing at a very nice beach.
Review 20:For an all inclusive package, bottled water should be included
Review 21:The food was awesome, never went hungry. Beach was very clean. The staff was very friendly and helpful, Excellent service from housekeeping, bar staff and Animators.
Review 22:the internet was super bad :( and the fact that they didnt let us check-out later than 4pm even though I emailed them 2 months before our arrival telling them that our flight is at 9:30pm
Review 23:We loved the food, animation agenda, safety, location, services, activities, staff, and the general vibe is just amazing.
Review 24:Already in June super noisy and crowded. Have to reserve sun beds early in the morning (by 8AM). Forget swimming in the pool as it's taken over by swarms of kids. Loud animation and dance music until 11PM. Nearby swamp provides infinite supply of mosquitos during the night. High prices/assumed standard don't match with some weird practices in the buffet (clunky utensils dispensed from metal containers, super small teacups and glasses, one flavor of dark tea) and the idea of paying for beach towels (we were paying for all inclusive, but would have to upgrade to VIP for that privilege). Wifi is practically useless, was roaming on phones instead.
Review 25:Rooms are nicely furnished and clean. Staff is super nice. Beach is decent. Greek night features nice live music and lively traditional dancers.
Review 26:-Beach towels and bottle water cost extra and its called "all inclusive"?? -To loud music at dinner. -Wifi didn't work in our room.
Review 27:+Food was great. +Clean facilities. +Nice staff. +Close to a not so crowded beach. +Minimarket on the hotel.
Review 28:The beer and mixed drinks were very weak.
Review 29:Large hotel rooms right on the beach. Kids could go back and forth to sea and pool and then play on the swings or football. The staff was very friendly and helpful with all of our questions. There was a great excursion desk and the rep was helpful setting up everything we wanted to do as well as a cheap rental car. It was nice to have the beer and fountain drinks as self-serve.
Review 30:The internet was so slow . There are extracharge for the saving box that made me so frustrated .they told me not included in all inclusive .i think it is a silly. I had to bring my bag with the passports and credits every time i go from the room.
Review 31:The food was fantastic . Staff was so kind . The room was huge bed was comfortable. I like the child facilities like multiple high chairs plastic cups and plates for family with children it perfect hotel to spend a holiday. My 21months old son loved it and enjoyed every second.
Review 32:Wifi was not Great but they came to our room have is a cord for broadband and a different place to connect to Beach is narrow but good enough. Food gets slightly repetitive but it's all inclusive in Europe. There was plenty of options
Review 33:Smaller facility, great staff, closeness of all facilities to one another, pool, play ground,
Review 34:Awful WiFi Limited choice of fruits (no grapes, plums, apricots, pears, etc) Only one toilet close to the beach Lack of trees
Review 35:Great family rooms with sea view Good beach All beach facilities: showers, beds Excellent animation team Entertainment program for children Good food Sport facilities: tennis, football, volleyball, gym Free beer and wine Close to Chania airport
Review 36:We didnt liked breakfast, it was the same everyday. We missed music in the evening, shows for adults, everything was perfect for the kids.
Review 37:We liked dinner and super. Animators was so amazing. Very clean everywhere.
Review 38:We truly enjoyed the whole experience. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful (Anastasia, Pedro's, and everyone else) and the food was quite good. Great tours available as well.
Review 39:We were initially dismayed by how many children were at the hotel, but we coped by avoiding peak meal times. Once we had acclimatised, they ceased to be a nuisance anyway, (i.e. it was probably more our "fault" than theirs!). Some "adults only" places/times would have been welcome, especially in the main swimming pool and the bar.
Review 40:Excellent staff. Excellent standard and variety of buffet food, attractively presented and abundant right up to closing time. Modern building with elegant public areas. Stainless steel balcony railings and proximity of sea to the outdoor restaurant area made it feel like we were on a cruise! Big enough hotel to have all necessary facilities but not massive (thankfully).
Review 41:The hotel is next to an army base. There was one short practice while we were there- 20 minutes of guns/ tanks firing at a boat in the bay the boat firing back. It was very frightening at first when we didn't know it could happen or that it was an exercise.
Review 42:Great location, clean, friendly and very comfortable.
Review 43:No indoor pool or gym entertainment is mediocre Food options limited If not for the discounted price, i would have been fuming.
Review 44:Wifi in the room good helpful staff Nice and quiet location
Review 45:The animations were a little too casual in their, approach, attire, itenerary - they were friendly, but no 'warmth' - very functional.
Review 46:Fabulous all round
Review 47:Didn't like chania the people weren't very friendly. Exchange rate in the hotel was bad.
Review 48:Beautiful views lovely little village in walking distance. Friendly people in the village. Went into chania not very nice there to chaotic
Review 49:We loved the location but some people might consider it a bit quiet or out of the way but that made it better in our opinion. We had a hire car but there is a bus stop a few hundred metres away.
Review 50:My whole family loved everything about this hotel. The food was delicious, the staff were all excellent and it was spotless. We had a maisonette room and it was enormous! Fantastic place, can't recommend it highly enough.
Review 51:The food was really bad (mash potatoes done with vinegar, very bad croissants, ridiculous queue for the orange juice in the morning, pastries and french fries not fresh, 3 days old omelettes) and they were many noisy children so that sleeping after 7:00 am was impossible. The Wifi worked very bad.
Review 52:the beach is quite ok
Review 53:food was, for the most part, pretty bad: little to no variety, very limited, and not tasty. Terrible breakfast. All inclusive at the beach bar is actually "half inclusive" which means you have some snacks out for part of the day but you need to purchace other stuff you may want (like a cappuchino) . Really upsetting that they charged per day for a beach towel!!!
Review 54:nice grounds, on a great beach, good size pool and another good pool for the little ones. We had a very nice room - the masionette, with sea view. Other rooms are not as expensive but small and with views of parking lot or other rooms...
Review 55:The braslets you have to wear to prove your all inclusive)))
Review 56:The place is small and everything is close. The stuff was very helpfull. The place is out of town so that's really quit. Big choice of food and drinks during hole day.
Review 57:We had a Family room with sea view, the room was big enough, but there was no bath, only very small shower. Poor varieties of food, every day the same things.
Review 58:The hotel is close to the mountain river where turtles and various types of fish are living, it was a great fun to feed them together with my son. Animation was pretty good, special THANKS to Sandy, she is the best in Zumba!!
Review 59:The breakfast was sometimes a little chaotic - especially around the orange juice machine which had to be serviced often. There was sometimes a line waiting for ceral plates or juice glasses or the coffee had to be topped up. A little less than perfect.
Review 60:The activities for guests, especially the children were excellent. There were many children and all seemed happy all day! The meals were wonderful and varied. We had one day out on a tour and were given a picnic lunch.
Review 61:Food was very repetitive and usually hot food was dull and mushy. Some Russian staff were very unfriendly. Being overcharged for laundry.
Review 62:High chairs, kids menu, ramps, kids pool, kids club (3 years +) - a haven for children. The Greek staff and the reception staff. Beach Animation team
Review 63:The food could have been better especially the snacks at the beach bar.
Review 64:It was kid friendly, the pool the beach the bar and the playground were close by and it was just a half and hour drive from the Chania airport.
Review 65:The quality of the food was extremely poor. The family room was very very small. Absolutely not worth the money we spent. This hotel shoudn' be rated as a five star hotel!!!
Review 66:Staff were amazing, very professional, when we asked to change rooms as i booked a large one that was too bright with 2 little ones, there was no problem, they couldn't have been more helpful. This is a brilliant hotel with a great restaurant with sea views,the pool area is perfect. I was worried about it being all inclusive that it would very loud - it was not a bit - It is a friendly family resort and we will be back.
Review 67:Good food, good location, particularly nice staff, especially Anastasia at reception
Review 68:,There was no hot water in shower and it needs to bee biger
Review 69:The stuf was very Polite and Welcoming
Review 70:Really poor quality for money. Far away from the Greek quality. Poor animation, snacks and food. Lot of noise in room.
Review 71:Sea was clean
Review 72:The food and location near the beach made for a very relaxing holiday .
Review 73:Plastic glasses broken sunbeds 1 toilet around beach bar and pool inadequate for the amount of guests
Review 74:Good hotel but definitely not. 5*

Review 101:Location near Chania Food Animation Service rooms
Review 102:Nothing worth mentioning...
Review 103:The food was excellent.
Review 104:Good staff. Nice place for children. interesting events every night.
Review 105:Great place to stay with kids. Kids Club was well organised.
Review 106:Nothing
Review 107:We loved everything about this place. Everyone was so friendly!!!!
Review 108:Great for families with young children, you can relax/sunbath/sit in the outdoor bar and still keep an eye on your kids. Small hotel so not too busy, right on the beach. Food and drinks all inclusive and enough choice to keep you interested.
Review 109:In the middle of nowhere. You had to have the all inclusive because there were nowhere else to eat, and the food was no good. Mainley pizza margarita and pasta for a whole week for our tastes.
Review 110:Safe, clean place. Perfect if you come only for swimming and sun with children. One of the better hotels on crete for what you can expect of standards.
Review 111:We were 3 young people and we booked a room with mountain OR garden view but we received a big wall where the sea was drawn. As a couple we took the big bedroom and except the fact it was no tv in the room we were really happy but our friend was sort of disappointed because instead of sofa bed he got a little extra bed. My only issue was regarding the cleaning, but again-not so bad. :D If you need something you are free to ask. Stuff is friendly. :D So, if you don;t consider these as issues-Kiani Beach is the perfect place to spend your holiday. :)
Review 112:We enjoyed the staying regarding facilities and comfort, the swimming pool and the sunbeds were lovely. Also, we were very happy with the food and drinks. Location is above 24 km from Chania Center but if you wanna experience the town and other beaches you can easily rent a car from the hotel, without any kind of deposit. For families with children I strongly recommend the place. As young travelers we missed a little the atmosphere as we could only hear the (relaxing) music from one side of the swimming pool-just in front of the restaurant. But we satisfied as we asked for Greek and Spanish music and seems everybody enjoyed it. Also, hotel offers gym, sauna and also the tools and places to have fun and play different games-with or without payment. Thus, the value for money and facilities definitely worth. :) Oh, I forgot to mention about the hotel view: perfect. :)
Review 113:Excellent location a bit outside the village right next to the beach with a beautiful coast line and the white mountains in the back; nice big garden; very friendly and helpful personal; very clean rooms and comfortable beds; our teenies enjoyed the sports programme
Review 114:Limited facilities, few staff waiting, for example queues in the bar and nothing in the local vicinity in terms of bars and restaurants. This would have been fine as a three star hotel, but with a five star rating, we expected more.
Review 115:It was reasonable value for money.
Review 116:Water in the pool is not warm.no beach, it is better for them to take the stones off their beach.
Review 117:Great animation for children, always friendly, always smily.Very quilified personal on the reception.
Review 118:Hotel is not 5 stars, only 4. Drink which they call "Coffee" is terrible. Unhappy/not friendly staff, it looked like we bothered them with our presence. Ants in the bathroom.
Review 119:Food was great. A lot of activity for children, nice pool. Sea nearby.
Review 120:Staff unfriendly ( most of them ). Never smiled, looked bored and sounded even bored. Got a room whith only a small window so the room was very dark. Saw that a "normal" room had big glassdoors out to a balcony but we didn´t get a normal room. Our room was a lower standard but anyway we paid more than it said it would cost on booking.com. Much to choose between at all the meals but it all tasted the same ( very little.. ) The only thing whitch tasted really good was the fetacheese but after only eating feta, tomato and cucumber it starts to be tiresom. Couldnt eat any of the desserts, they were all very, very sweet. And I like Baklava... Whitch is sweet. The beach was ok for bigger kids and adults but not for small children. Got deep very fast, and a lot of rocks and stones in the water. The poolarea was better for children. It was free drinks, for exampel lokal beer. The beer was very good but the ones who served it looked like they had been eating citrus to breakfast, lunch and supper.
Review 121:The first day,they sent our luggages very late.The family room was realy small.Everything went dead silent after 11,so you had no choice but go to sleep :(
Review 122:The resort wasn't too big,so we,especially our son was very happy finding every facility close to each other.The ground level room had access from both the garden side and the reception side.The staff was attentive and always smiling.The sea is perfect.
Review 123:Poor quality of food. Should not be advertised at 5 star, is truly only4 star. Therefore disappointed for that reason.
Review 124:Views, childrens facilitites
Review 125:Food at the buffet although varied was not particularly good. I wouldrecommend a smaller selection but more focus on taste and qualityingredients. Also room service should include cleaning of cups &dishes, or alternatively washing up soap and towel and dry rack shouldbe provided.
Review 126:Lovely hotel and helpful staff. Facilities were well kept ans stay wasmost enjoyable.
Review 127:The beach at the hotel is not so nice and clean (the water is very cleanthough), but there are numerous other beaches in Crete. The 'allinclusive' program is not so 'all inclusive' - E.G. itdidn't include bottled water nor 'real' juices; onlyfiltered coffee offered within the program + time limitations. Onlyoranges and apples served as fruit. Paid safe. Not so many tv programs(if you need to watch it at all).
Review 128:We visited the hotel in May, therefore it was not overcrowded. The staffwas very friendly. The hotel is clean and nice. Beautiful views. Thefood was good most of the times, tasty desserts and fresh salad. Therewas ice cream available at lunch/dinner time and at the bar. It wasclose to Chania and its location is good for exploring with a car. It isa family hotel so there were mainly families with children. Free parkingand internet.
Review 129:Wonderful service, would go back w/o a question.
Review 130:Wifi Speed really slow.
Review 131:Well-designed resort! Especially for family with childrens.
Review 132:Excellent hotel, location, personnel, food, animation etc. I strongly recommend:)
Review 133:wi-fi didn't work in our room, after 23.00 you can't buy any drink from the bar
Review 134:very helpfull waitress Marta
