The Hotel was in a very good location and the facilities were excellent. Both swimming pools were well looked after and great for families. We preferred to spend most of our time on the beach which I thought was in an ideal location and had the right number of sunbeds so as not to over crowd it. The water was shallow and safe for children and you had to go out at least 100meters before it became chest deep, perfect. The staff were excellent too, hard working and very friendly, especially reception who were exceptionally helpful for information and excursions and basically everything to do with the hotel. We were all inclusive so local drinks included were OK. But the lunch selection was very good with an ample selection of hot and cold choices in a Restaurant/Bar different and better than the evening meal restaurant.
The only downside was the breakfast/dinner restaurant which we felt was like a canteen, with coloured bucket chairs with metal tubular legs and Formica type tables. This did not feel like a nice dining experience so we ate out more than we did at the hotel, even though we were on all inclusive.

Right on beach, nice sunrises, clean nice sandy beach where one can take long walks, low sea good for kids when weather good, excellent superhelpful staff, clean, all inclusive covering all basic needs, convenience stores all around.
Uncomfortable beds, busy traffic on the street separating the two halves of the property (but a crossover bridge in place), pool chairs reserved from early morning (despite unoccupied during parts of the day), food a little monotonous with too much sauces (more natural would be better, sauced could be kept on the side).

It was a wonderful stay in Iolida beach, it was so comfortable to be there. There are no luxury design or a lot of events, but it was so cozy, clean and the food was amazing! It was the most delicious all inclusive in my whole live. Stuff was super friendly, we felt like we were at home there. The beach was clean, sea was amazing and we could find sun beds at every time of the day. Our room was a bit far from the beach in second part of the hotel, but we had a wonderful sea view and it was super quiet there
Our room had a weak wifi connection

The hotel always has a really good choice of food to choose from, everything tasted great and was pretty healthy. The staff were the best especially Rena, Theodwris, Stravos and the room service staff. They were super helpful and fun so me and my friend had great trip and a huge part of that was thanks to them. They also have us a good deal to upgrade to all-inclusive. Entertainment was really good and the views from the hotel were amazing. The location was good if you wanted to see a lot of Cretan culture locally, lots of local tavernas and the beach was beautiful. But also wasn’t too far from Chania city and airport. I’ve already returned here a few times and will probably come back again next time I want to visit Crete.

The staff is amazing! Always smiling and ready to help, the cleaning was great and done twice a day with new sheets and towels. Great view from the room. Breakfast was really good. The beach connected to the hotel was great.
The rooms are a bit outdated and some parts need a bit of a fix-up. The hotel is split in half by a rather busy road, which you have to cross when going to the lobby or to breakfast. There is a bridge over it but stairs on both sides, impossible for strollers and my family had two of those. The part of the hotel by the beach is reserved for a special travel agency, it was my understanding that part was not bookable on Booking.com. (To be fair, all of this was covered in older reviews and we should’ve read those before. Overall we were happy with our stay and that was largely thanks to the amazing staff - we moved to a 5star hotel later in the trip and ended up missing Iolida and their amazing staff!)

Very nice beach just few steps from the bar / dining area, swimming pool nice and warm. Food was just fantastic, the staff was very kind and polite. Clean rooms and hotel, our view from the terrace was really nice. We really enjoyed our stay, kids enjoyed the sea, the pool and everything - there was even a little snorkelling shore with lots of fishes. Thank you!
The wardrobe could have had more shelfs ot inside space, not only hangers. For a family staying for 7 days there was not enough / not very comfortable storage space. One of the kids was sleeping on an “extra” bed which was not very comfortable. There was a bad smell in the bathroom.

The hotel was lovely and in a great location. Room was really big and kept impeccably clean. All of the staff, from the cleaners to reception to bar staff were lovely: very friendly and helpful and made us feel very welcome. We spent a lot of time at the beach and it was beautiful: the sea was really clear and warm and we never struggled to get a sunbed. Would highly recommend getting the all inclusive too. Really good value for money! Would definitely stay here again
We really liked the bridge that linked the 2 sides to the hotel but it would be a problem for people with mobility issues as there are quite a few steps to get on and off it

Very clean and pool by the beach was good for the kids.
At the breakfast there was not enough forks, knives, bowls. Music was too loud. Also at the dinner it was difficult to find clean table even after the peak hours.

I noticed that the place was immaculately clean, the pools were well-maintained and inviting, and the staff was exceptionally friendly.
The bedroom lacked curtains, making it difficult to sleep in with the sun shining. The restaurant only offered a limited buffet selection. An a-la-carte option would have been nice.

I thought the hotel was excellent. The staff were all so pleasant and helpful. Hotel spotless.Had an all inclusive package and the food was really excellent. Location was great with bus to Chania nearby.
The night we arrived it was late so we decided to have a nightcap after coming in after having a bite to eat. This however was not covered by the all inclusive as it was deemed to be too late - after 11! Just thought that a bit daft! Nice area to lie out. Just thought the beach area in front of the hotel could have been cleaner. There was a dead seagull there for the week! Idyllic setting so shame not kept cleaner.
