Spent a week here at the end of September. Absolutely fantastic. The staff cannot do enough to ensure you are well looked after. All inclusive with food and drink on tap, the food is well prepared, tasty but above all, set out with thought and care that not only looks delicious, is delicious. The whole resort is spotless and the room beds are comfortable. Private beach with free sun loungers. Pool loungers are available all day without the rigmarole of people dumping towels early on.
There is no downsides, however, this would get an 11 out of 10 if they could only make the bottom pool and one of the bars, adult only.
Thank you guys for a wonderful stay.

I attended the week of October 14th (off season). Beautiful hotel. My room was clean on arrival and hotel staff was helpful upon check in. Room was spacious too with a lovely bathroom, sofa area and balcony.
A few negatives though. The staff at meal times are not very nice, they hover over your tables to collect plates. There are flies all the time in the dining hall. The staff in the dining halls were not nice nor helpful. They looked very angry if we came towards within 30 minutes of the end of meal times. The food options could be better, only meal that was consistent was breakfast. This is an all inclusive resort, we have paid for meals and drinks and should be allowed to sit down and eat, even if the meal time is finishing in 20 minutes. Please note Bar for all inclusive starts at 11am and ends at 11pm, you have to pay after.
Another thing. BE PREPARED TO WALK. I was a bit lucky as my hotel room (number 300s) was not too far from the reception, however other hotel rooms take about 10 minutes to get to or you have use the hotel ‘train’ (comes every 8 mins). It can be helpful but the train stops quite early and doesn’t start until 10am.
They have a few nice activities such as the water park, tennis and volleyball. Private beach too. The pool area in the hotel gets crowded very quickly, I didn’t spend much time there but it is something I noticed. A lot of staff said this was the off season. So not as much was on offer and you could kind of tell.
This resort is very far out so I would consider renting a car if you want to explore outside of the resort. And rent the car from outside of town and not at the hotel because they hike up the prices.
All in all this hotel was nice, but not 5 star all inclusive. The service by hotel staff could be better, bar tenders and servers were very dismissive. Could have table service on the beach and more drink options at the other bars around the hotel grounds.

I highly recommend Fodele Beach Resort in Crete! It is quite literally a paradise! The food is good, the views are amazing, you can really rest here! It is not the least expensive hotel, but the stay was surely worth the money!

Wow. What can I say. This hotel is wonderful. We have been so well
Looked after from the moment we got here. The rooms are very clean and tidy and are made up every day without fail. The facilities are great. The pools are clean and fresh and the water park is great fun. The food has been amazing. So much choice with themed nights several times a week. This staff are amazing. So so warm and welcoming. The hotel is set on a hill and so it does have a number of climbs however there is a train that runs really frequently that takes you from reception all the way to the water park at the top. Cannot recommend this enough.

Lovely hotel, nice rooms and fantastic staff. Only thing is that the hotel is a bit isolated if you are one who likes to wander around shops in the evening. There is a bus stop up the road. Great relaxing spot and some watersports to keep entertained.
