아르민다 호텔 & 스파(Arminda Hotel & Spa)

There is nothing to complain at this hotel. All the facillities are good. Everything is clean. The staff is very friendly and very helpfull. So to say we enjoyed our stay very much. We did find it a good place to relax and to read a book at the pool.

Fantastic family hotel, fully booked whilst we were there but there was no trying to source poolside seats, plenty of availability, plenty of room at the restaurant and bars at all times. Hotel was spotless at all time, be it communal spaces like stairwells, corridors or the rooms. Excellent facilties Staff were friendly and very helpful Special mention for Spyros his rock bar The food in the restaurant and snack bars was excellent, something for everyone in plentiful supply and very fresh A great place for a holiday and would not hesitate to go again

We wanted to book a break away to relax and chill, but also to visit some of the big archaeological sites like Knossos and Malia Palace. So we chose the Arminda to stay AI in, booked via EasyJet package holidays. When deciding on the hotel we looked for somewhere quiet but not isolated, and on the coast. When holidaying we don't normally stay AI, or even in a hotel, so this was a big change for us as we normally go self-catering in a villa. We read the TripAdvisor & Google reviews for the Arminda looking firstly at comfort and cleanliness as well as where situated. The reviews are mostly glowing and we have to agree with them. The staff are lovely and always very helpful, ask and you shall receive. We're vegetarians and although the hotel food was more 'international' than Greek it was mostly reasonably varied and there was always good choices, if sometimes making slightly unusual combinations. The chef was very helpful and we even asked for one of his recipes. We thought overall the hotel more suited to families, but there were more 'adult' places to sit and chill and enjoy the surroundings, so we didn't regret our choice at all. There were various swimming pools to chose from that were more 'adult' too, but it was a bit too cool for us! Although we did go for a paddle at Potamas Beach, and a stroll or two along the coast from the hotel. We loved, loved, loved Elena's Kafenion, she has made the area into an authentic Cretan cafe. There was also a small 'Crete section' in the restaurant. It was good to be able to eat and drink more typically local products. The AI drinks are very pleasant drinks, the Minoan beer is a decent session drink and Spyro runs a mean bar too, just opposite the cafe. The cocktail of the day was fun and although lacking in cherries and umbrella's they certainly hit the spot! :D When we went out visiting sites there was also the option to book a lunch to take with us. We did try it once, and found a cold veggie burger in a bun a little odd, I think there needed to be a way to just ask for a cheese salad cob. :) There was always lots of fresh salad in the restaurant and the food areas of the bars. Anyway overall we had a great time, a very positive fun holiday, and we loved that side of Crete, we'd only previouly been over near Rethymnon and Chania. Yamas to all the lovely staff at the Arminda, NS & AJ.

A well run local family run hotel, excellent for couples and families, excellent buffet options for breakfast & evening meals along with snack bars throughout the day, recommend the “Greek Corner” for mezze. Friendly and helpful staff, the hotel is in a great position close to the main road & bus route and a short walk into Stalis and the lovely beach ideal for kids as is nice & shallow. Will definitely return.

Stayed 7th May-14th May had two rooms booked we arrived close to midnight check in was very quick we then was told a buffet has been prepared in the restaurant which was a lovely touch after a long day. The hotel is amazing rooms spotless robes and slippers on the bed every member of staff so polite and friendly i thought there was plenty of choices for food and i am a fussy eater we hired a mobility scooter and they let us leave it on charge near reception. Plenty of sunbeds pool was a bit cold entertainment at night was nothing special but one night had an artist playing a violin i thought he was brilliant if you are thinking of staying here book it i certainly will be going back.

Great hotel at an amazing price. I've stayed in many hotels across Europe but this was by far the best when comparing the services offered, the room, the view and most importantly the price. The staff are really attentive and friendly and for the price you pay I don't think you can expect much better. Was a pleasure to stay there and definitely be back.

It was a great experience. We stayed at this hotel last week for 6 days. The staff is very friendly and facilities are perfect for families with small children The children loved the playgrounds and Disney show. Great pools and variety of foods

Amazing holiday, it ticked all the boxes, the food is fantastic and so varied, the rooms large, clean and well equipped. The staff are all so friendly and you only have to ask and they will accommodate your requirement. Very good Gym - booking system in place so it doesn't get overcrowded. Evening entertainment was excellent, especially enjoyed 'The Music Man' a very talented artist. Would recommend without hesitation.

Everything about the Arminda hotel & spa is amazing. From the moment you arrive you feel relaxed. All the staff are friendly and welcoming. We stayed in the superior family room and it was fabulous. The sliding door allowed us to get some privacy away from the kids. The cleaner everyday put the kids toys on the bed in a row, which was loved by the kids. The reviews about the food were a bit disconcerting before going. One of the kids is particularly picky eater but this didn’t up stop them from eating lots. The was quite a good variety and was refreshed regularly. The deserts were fantastic. Snacks were provided in the two bars but having had a good breakfast, we hardly had any. The ice cream was very popular and delicious. The kids loved how they could just help themselves to food and drinks. Another lovely touch was that the cocktail of the day also had a mocktail version, where possible. Some of these were really refreshing. The pools and their areas were clean. Scattered around were boxes in which to leave empty glasses (well reusable plastic ones) and they were emptied regularly. We did a day trip and ordered a picnic lunch from reception the day before. In the morning we picked it up from the restaurant and it was in a fair sized cool bag. There was a good amount of sandwiches, a banana each and a bottle of water each. It was a great touch that they provided. The pink wave entertainment team were amazing. We took part in most activities they offered, though you are not pressured into doing anything. We found it so much fun. They provided nighttime entertainment on quite a few nights. They were brilliant. I would say that the comedy night was far the best. We had such an amazing time that we want to go back there again next year. In fact non of us really wanted to leave. The parting touch on leaving was of a little bottle of raki which was a lovely gesture.
