Chrispy Beach Resort

Fabulous hotel with some of the friendliest staff I've ever come across - and i've been to Disneyworld numerous times where service is absolutely top priority. The location is great, right on the beach on the main strip of Agia Marina, within meters of bucket loads of shops, cafes and restaurants. The young staff are friendly, professional and absolutely lovely. The young lady on reception deserves special recognition as she was a delight! Be careful Chrispy Beach Resort, I imagine someone will try to headhunt her (if she's not the owners' family)! The pool, pool bar, reception lobby areas are beautiful, clean, modern and comfortable. The view from the pool is second to none. The food in the buffet restaurant is very tasty. Every night there were two meat dishes, a fish dish, a traditional Greek dish, along with salads and English and Greek sides. The range of foods was excellent considering the small (ish) size of the restaurant. The rooms are modern, clean and comfortable, with excellent air conditioning. The beds are WONDERFUL. I found the mattresses, pillows and bedding extremely comfortable. The bathroom has a large, modern shower cubicle with loads of water pressure and hot water plentiful any time of day. There are people constantly sweeping the outside common areas to keep the whole hotel spick and span :) Nothing I am about to say would deter me from visiting again or recommending this hotel to my friends and family. There are just a couple of TINY things I would suggest as improvements, if I am going to be picky : First, a bin in the bedroom would be useful - there is a small bathroom bin as usually found in hotels - but its very small and there's no main bin in the room. Hardly a dealbreaker but would be useful. The second thing is it would be REALLY nice to have tea and coffee making facilities in the room. I don't think it's too much to ask in a 4* hotel (but I don't know if this is common in European hotels as I mostly travel further afield) and lastly, the paper serviettes/napkins in the restaurant are rubbish. Absolutely tiny and very thin. The tables are set with one serviette per person, and you really would need about 10 of these each per meal as they are SO teeny tiny and thin. Paper serviettes are fine, but these are just too cheap. I come to Crete again I will 100% stay at Chrispy Beach resort, and I would happily recommend it to family and friends for the location, staff, food and comfort of the beds.
