Anastasia Hotel

One of the best hotels we have been to, food we could not fault, varied menu, greek and international dishes, , service excellent, rooms cleaned daily, staff very helpfull and friendly. Only downside was that hotel is on a busy road, some traffic noise at night, but with rooms air cond. you could shut windows. access to the beach was by an underpass under this road, took about 10 mins walk to beach. Would recomend this hotel to anyone young or old.

We had an excellent holiday at the Hotel Anastasia. The hotel is very clean. The staff were very helpful and friendly. The food is excellent with plenty of choice for adults and there's always something for the children. This was our second visit and we will be back again and again!! The location was perfect too. The children in our group enjoyed the kids clubs and the adults enjoyed the evening entertainment.

Had great 2 weeks, hotel was lovely and all the staff were lovely too. Couldn't fault a thing, kids who are 11, 9, and 7 loved it, great swimming pools and no hassle for sun beds. Food was great too and loads of choice. Would definatly recommend to anyone who wants a relaxing, lovely holiday. Rooms were to highest standard, spacious and very clean, were also cleaned every day and bedding and towels changed regularly. Kids loved the squids club too!

Just had another week in Crete staying at the brilliant Anastasia Hotel again. This hotel makes a good holiday perfect. Staff very helpful and rooms cleaned to perfection. Will definately be going back, especially if Michael will sing on the karaoke again !

Superb holiday, good food and extra friendly staff. Lovely clean rooms and great pools. Entertainment fun, Johnny looked after the little ones well in the day and the rest of us in the eve. Can't argue with Mrs M.Ross about anything (but she argued about all the quiz answers!). Location is great to have access to Stalis and further away Malia but you can avoid it all if you want. Plenty of choice or bars, tavernas and pubs around. Beaches are good for little ones and swimmers alike. What more do you want?

we cannot speak more highly of the fantastic staff and fab hotel, which was spotlessly clean, daily cleaning service.. pool spotless, food great, thanks to all the staff who really looked after our every need.
we've just booked to go back again in october and can't wait.
our 3 year old daughter really had a ball and johnny the enterainment dude was just the best.
very very friendly family focused hotel, we loved it and we're very sad we had to leave after our week there.
stroll on october.....

We choose this hotel because of other reviews and were not disappointed. On arrival we were greeted by a friendly receptionist who took us to our room. We arrived too late to eat in the restaurant but were provided with a cold buffet plate to eat once we had settled in. A nice touch.
The staff have to be the most friendly, polite and helpful we have met anywhere. You are always greeted with a smile and a friendly welcome and if you want to have a conversation they are happy to stay and discuss anything.
Food was plentiful but does not always cater for the Britsh taste. You have to be able to try different dishes but there was always a good selection of salads to fall back on if nothing took your fancy on the main courses.
The hotel grounds are tidy with a gardener to keep everything colourful and the rooms are kept spotless by a small team of maids. The maids clean the pool area early on in the morning before starting on the rooms. The pool is a good size and was never over crowded during our stay, but there is the usual rush for beds first thing in the morning (usually the Brits). A smaller pool is provided for those with younger children.
We opted for the bigger family room which had two single beds and a double. This gave us a lot more space than normal and didn't cost the earth in extras. It was worth it. The rooms are fitted with air conditioning and a fridge as standard and this was certainly a blessing during the hotter days, especially as you don't get caught out with extra charges on arrival like some other hotels.
Entertainment was basic and geared more towards the Brits. If you wanted to join in you could have a good laugh but during our two weeks most people tended to leave it alone and it seemed to fizzle out towards the end.
This is the first hotel we would go back to straight away for another holiday, we enjoyed our time there that much. This was due mainly to the friendliness of the staff and the feeling of always being made welcome.

This was a brilliant hotel. The staff were very friendly. It was well located and the food was excellent. The room was spacious with free air conditioning and it had a fridge which was ideal for keeping drinks cool.

Good clean friendly hotel, staff very helpful. Couldn't fault the place. Its location is a half hour stroll to the resort centre, well the Beachcomber anyway.
Wouldn't hesitate in going back, we’re both middle aged and we did go in September so no problem with the "younger" generation they all seemed to be in Malia.

Bar prices reasonable too, Yasou!

Just arrived back from a one week stay at the Anastasia and I would thoroughly recommend to anyone especially families.
This small hotel is spotless, probably the cleanest place we have visited. The staff are very friendly and helped make our stay a memorable one.
The food is very good, though going half board(for the first time) I did miss having the variety of restaurants to choose from.
The pool is a little overcrowded at busy times though Michael tells me they will have an extra pool available for 2008, which will then offer ample space for all the guests.
The two owners are always on hand to ensure you have a good holiday and always willing to help as are the very friendly and capable staff.
The entertainment is ok as is the kids club. It's about 20 minute walk from very nice beaches .
Overall I would definately recommend this hotel and if we ever go back to Stalis we would certainly stay at the Anastasia !
