We had a lovely family vacation at this hotel featuring beautiful gardens and a great beach. The accommodations were nice, and while the staff really made us feel welcome, the dining experience could use some improvement. The pool areas were enjoyable, but the food often lacked quality and was sometimes cold, which was disappointing. Overall, our stay was pleasant, although I think I would consider dining out more in the future.

I had a really enjoyable experience at the hotel, especially as a single mom who wanted to treat both myself and my child. The beach was peaceful and not overly crowded, which was a big plus.

Our family holiday started off on a hopeful note, but the experience fell short. While the staff were friendly and the top pool area was lovely, our accommodation was not what we expected, particularly the access and cleanliness for our baby. The dining options were repetitive, and one rude staff interaction left a sour taste at the end of our stay. Ultimately, it wasn't the family getaway we had anticipated.

I had a lovely holiday at the Annabelle Beach Resort in Crete, where the beautiful gardens and clean atmosphere really stood out. While the staff were friendly and I enjoyed the varied dining options, I found the hotel to be more of a 3 to 4-star experience rather than the advertised 5-stars. The beach access was somewhat challenging, which was a downside, but overall, it was a pleasant stay with some memorable moments.

My stay at the hotel was quite mixed. While I enjoyed the beautiful beach, lovely gardens, and the engaging animation team, I found the food lacking in variety and the rooms needing updates. The staff were friendly overall, but the dining experience could definitely be improved with more options. Overall, if you're looking for a family-friendly atmosphere, this hotel might suit you, but it fell short in several areas that would affect the overall enjoyment.

We had a decent stay overall, with an amazing animation team that kept us entertained and friendly staff who really made us feel at home. However, the evening dining options were lacking in variety, especially for kids, and the rooms could definitely use some renovation. Although we loved the pool area and the beach bar staff were lovely, it’s hard to overlook the food shortcomings, which led us to eat out more often than we intended.

We had a nice week at the hotel with a great pool area and friendly staff, but the evening entertainment was lacking and the food quality didn't quite meet the 4-star expectations. The vibe at the lower pool was a bit overwhelming with all the activities, and it was frustrating to deal with the sunbed reservation chaos early in the morning.
