Panorama Hotel - Chania Reviews
" We spent 2 weeks at this hotel... "
Submitted By: Miss K Taylor
We spent 2 weeks at this hotel staying in the garden rooms in the panorama blue wing. Rooms spacious, clean and well equipped. The executive rooms had a private pool or private shared pool, however, hardly private as they were below the balcony of the main pool area.
Situated on a blind corner of a busy road there was a varying degree of traffic noise which was not ideal. Walking outside the hotel was OK for us but those with children should be aware that the footpath is non existent in places.
Service in the restaurant was very good, the food we found variable in quality and often the cooked breakfast was cold. The main pool area was superb but service for drinks around the pool was poor as it was outside during the evening. The entertainment was reasonable during the day and evenings.
Chania was lovely, 8 euros for a taxi and a frequent bus service operated outside the hotel. There was a very small beach across the road with a few sun loungers but being adjacent to the road was noisy.
Overall we enjoyed the holiday but certainly would not go back to this hotel as there are far better appointed hotels to be found in quieter locations and closer to amenities.

" The holiday was relaxing. The rooms... "
Submitted By: Mr L Robinson
The holiday was relaxing. The rooms in the panorama blue were spacious and of a good standard. The main hotel is a little less well presented, so it is much better to go to the panorama blue. The food was of a good standard bearing in mind that it was a buffet. It was relaxed and the food was readily replenished.
It was what you cannot expect from a good buffet - nothing more. Chania was a great disappointment. It was full of restaurants which had people outside leering you in. We only went one evening and didn’t find anywhere we liked so ended up going back to eat at the hotel. The poolside food was very good, it was good to get out of the sun, and it was of a good standard with a wide variety.
The evening entertainment was of a high standard but not what you would find at a top hotel. Nevertheless it was a bit of fun and overall a relaxing holiday, but I probably wouldn’t rush back.

" My husband and I have just come back... "
Submitted By: Mrs F Morgan
My husband and I have just come back from a very relaxing holiday here. The food is really fantastic. We very highly recommend it.
The hotel is in an ok location. There is no real beach to speak of but the pool is very nice and plenty of sun loungers.
If you are staying in the 'blue' executive wing of the hotel you get extra benefits including a free drink before dinner and free tea and coffee all day.
The view from the main pool is the best place to be to get the panoramic views, spoken about on the website. The views from the executive wing were a little disappointing, and we would recommend that you stay in a room with a private shared pool.
The hotel is next to a busy road which does create bit of noise, but it's not too much of a problem.
It is a must to hire a car as you can explore the local area. We recommend a trip or two into Chania and have a lunch by the harbour.
Overall this was an excellent holiday and we came home very relaxed. <br>

" We had a really good holiday here... "
Submitted By: verlie
We had a really good holiday here last year. Accommodation was really clean and spacious. food was varied with a different theme every night. Very high standards were kept and it really did live up to it’s 4 star rating .Only downside was very busy road outside hotel and the beach nearby was not up to much.!! However bus into Chania at night very frequent and well worth a visit. If you are looking for a relaxing break for a couple this would be a great choice

The food was lovely and the views over the Bay of Chania of an evening were superb! Ensure you try the cocktails in the bar one evening, they're great! A trip into Chania is worthwhile and make sure you explore the harbour and tiny cobbled street filled with a great selection of bars and restaurants.
Value for money was superb and I would recommend that you book the hotel through Med Hotels and organise your flights separately. It’s an easy transfer from Chania airport to the hotel by taxi as well. The only aspect about the hotel to note is the busy road by the hotel, but you get used to this quite quickly.
