Agelia Beach Hotel

TLDR: Wonderful place, breathtaking sea view, tasty food, great service, great drinks. Hotel employees do the maximum to make sure you are comfortable. I would recommend this to both couples and families. Details: The beach area is very nice and connected directly to the pool area between hotel buildings. The beach and sea are mostly sand, with some pebbles on the beach-sea intersection. There is an appropriate number of sunbeds and a shower to get rid of the salt. The bar by the pool is really close to the beach and serves fizzy drinks, beer, cocktails, coffee, snacks(pizza, sandwiches, cakes etc…) The pool almost fills the space between the buildings and it’s a nice alternative to use in days when the sea is wild. The restaurant serves breakfast, lunch and dinner in an all you can eat style buffet that includes a very nice assortment of dishes every time. The employees come and ask you what you want for a drink and clean the tables from used plates and such. The rooms are very nice and clean and some have the Seaview and some have direct access to a pool. Overall, our experience was very pleasant and we most definitely would come again.

We moved to this hotel after a disappointing booking elsewhere. What a find! A magical experience here at White Olive. Shout out to Mr. Cristos, the hardworking friendly manager, Despina the friendly front desk manager, and Christina the always smiling server. When we were not on excursions we had relaxing days by the pool and beach. The food and drinks are included and the buffet too. Amazing food at breakfast lunch and dinner. So sad to leave.

Very nice hotel, very friendly staff, for me no five stars because of. 1. Building activities now. 2. There is a shortage of sun beds 3. Do explain guests better how things work, for example room cleaning, you must press the button. Or busride to Rhetymno, 2 euro cost, you can buy tickets by cash only. The walking ***** at the outside terrace is not well marked, guests fall. Furthermore photos on website are outdated. But we really enjoyed our. Good rooms, good bed. Restaurant is good, should watch some details like chocolate croissant becomes bad after being kept warm a very long time. Thank you

I was on holiday in this hotel with my son. It's a great time. Most of all i want to mention the hotel staff. Wonderful people work in this hotel, they take care of their guests like family. Thank for your smile, care, i'm very glad to meet with you, you are the best Very tasty food, level the best, food like here don't have anywhere Beautiful, comfort, cozy room.

Heard and read great reviews but absolutely nothing like it ,pictures look great but don’t show you the construction site ,relaxing no way Food repetitive waiter waitresses basic apart from one who works outside area When you speak to reception they look at you blankly ,stayed in many five ⭐️ hotels this definitely is not And if you book with love holidays don’t can never get hold of them

This hotel is no where near a 5* I have been to menu hotels around the world and have been waited on hand and foot, the hotel rates as a 3* at the most. Best thing here is the rooms excellent, the food is nearly the same every night and great for polish and germans, is English and like me a fussy eater don’t bother, Out by the pool could be better 3 rd day in and the builder moved in making all sorts of noises not impressed as there is nothing in the in the love holiday site or are you told when you arrived shocking This hotel should be an adults only as there is nothing for kids to do either give a wide berth. Wouldn’t recommend

Worst hotel I’ve ever stayed in. The beach is unclean Construction is noisy and disturbing. I understand you are reinventing but the amount your renovating should be done when the hotel is closed. Was very excited to come as I saw such good reviews about the staff but I have to say they aren’t what other reviews are making them out to be. The restaurant manager is rude and hasn’t said hello once yet says hello to everyone else every night and the other waitresses and waiter are basic. Although the waiter that does outside breakfast and lunch is fantastic. The rooms are great very high tech and comfy about the only good thing going for the hotel. Cleaning is standard. Food is very repetitive and boring. Got to say for a 5 star hotel it’s pushing a 3 maybe 3.5 at best

I stayed in the hotel with my family (incl 4 children – 5, 11, 14, 20😉) for two weeks and found it very friendly, comfortable, with a cozy atmosphere and good location for sightseeing the most spectacular places in Crete. What we do like in the hotel: First of all great hospitality and proffesionalism of the Staff (!!!) – kind and caring Manager and his Team, the Restaurant and Bar Service are of very good proffesional skills, the Man who takes care of pools is very thorough. Morover: - very tasty and good quality meals (!!!) - greek cuisine, delicious sweets (!!!) – my children loved them, mostly local foods, wide selection of fresh local (!!!) vegetables and local (!!!) fruits, there is selection of dishes for vegetarian (!!!), however some days the vege selection should be more rich in protein on lunch and dinner, tasty and fresh snacks and vegetable/fruits salads in the pool bar; - silence (!!!) - there is no artificial noisy and distracting entertainment: no animation for kids 😊😊😊 and no loud music 😊😊😊 – I spent time with my children in closeness and could still admire the beauty of Crete we experienced on trips; - calm music in the lift; - simplicity (!!!) in interior and exterior design and timetable, colours of the nature - white/olive/beige/brown, no unnecessary things and activites - I could really calm my mind and rest; - high standards of cleanness (!!!), including pools, which are perfectly clean; - very comfortable rooms; - cool wind from the sea (!!!) everywhere, all the time, early in the morning you will find the wind also on hotel’s corridors – try not miss it (!!!); - clean sandy beach, enough wide to take comfortable sun and sea baths – while daily exercising on the beach sand, I did not find any pieces of rubbish on, under or close to my body (!!!), the hotel is laid on the seashore, so the beach is pratically part of the hotel. I do appreciate an efforts to support enviromental care: - room cleanning and changing of the towels possible also on demand (!!!) – for me the room does not need to be cleaned and towels washed every day, to have done it the message must be sent electronically to the reception; - reusable plastic cups, no plastic accessories or any other unnecessary accesories for drinks in the pool bar, however I wish they were also for snacks; - nice bins for segregation of rubbish everywhere they are needed, bin for used baterries and electronics near reception; - possibility to fill empty water bottle with mineral water from the restaurant or pool bar (!!!). For those who like sightseeing: - good location for trips to Central and West Crete – easy and fast access to national road as well as the road to south coast and Psiloritis Mountains, we made a cruises on our own by rented car: we set out of hotel at 3 pm to: *Elephterna Museum and Arkadii Monastir, *Elephterna Archeological Site, *Rethymno, *Heraklion Archeological Museum, *Knossoss Palace, *Maleme and Souda Cementeries, we set out of hotel at

Are here from 29 of May till 9th of June. Great hotel out of the crowd with friendly and helpful staff. Private beach directly at the sea. Great food and ambiance for the offered price. Bus to Rethymnon is only 10 min away for 1,60 € single ride. A visit to Rethymnon and Chania are a must as well as a quad day trip and the Samrian gorge. 😁😁😁
