SEMIRAMIS VILLAGE CRETE HOTEL

Ignore previous reviews. This is a wonderful place to holiday. The staff are very helpful, friendly and work extremely hard. Food is always fresh and plenty of choice, so always something to eat, you can have 3 courses if you wanted. There are always plenty of loungers to use around the pool, but we always went early anyway. The pool is fresh saltwater and on the cool side, but a relief from the hot sun. Our room was always kept clean from the hard working cleaners. The restaurant staff also worked hard. The main reception manager was very professional and helpful. But a special mention to the bar staff who always smiled, especially Valentinna, Marina and the main barman in the evening who always gave me 2 beers without asking 😀. Overall a wonderful holiday and wouldn't hesitate to go again. The only downside is too far to walk to the beach and the hotel is built into a hillside so a few steps to walk up.

You could book a massage in the basement of the hotel. Asked for a couples massage in the morning, and in the afternoon Inna and Elena gave us a good kneading for 90 minutes. The massage from both of them was excellent and flew by.

I was at this hotel in April for a 4-day stay, the worst hotel I have seen in my life, horrible, horror, disgust, dirty, the worst experience of my life. I stayed at this hotel, they gave me the key to a disgusting, old room, the air conditioning equipment does not work, dilapidated bathroom....and I can name more. The second night, I had trouble sleeping because there were insects in my room, I asked the receptionist (a young man in his thirties) to find me a solution, he hurled insults and racist remarks at me, gave me the middle finger, and threw keys in my face. The next day, I wanted to report it to the manager, he told me to leave even though I was the victim of racism and insults. I had to call the police to intervene. Horrible, abusive, disrespectful behavior from the employer and the employee even though I paid. I do not recommend it to you
