We stayed at the Chrispy village from the first week on june 2007 for a week. We looked at the reviews on the internet and though oh my god what have we done. Anyway on arrival we were greeted by the security guy(it was 4am), he checked us in etc then showed us to our room. It was quite spacious very clean and tidy. They had even put us some food in the fridge as we were getting there late. Next morning we went for a look around the site, swimming pool was very clean although be careful going down the sloping entry point as its very slippy.Had a look at the bar, to them all inclusive drinks means... 1 self service lager, ouzo, brandy 4 alcoholic cocktails and 5 assorted soft drinks. Which was ok really. Anything else and you have to pay for it. The food was in general very good although there were a few repetitions from time to time but no big problem. You will find that the foods arent labled so you may have a little bit of confusion as to which is which, but just ask the staff and they will help you. In the daytime there is a sandwich bar so if you feel peckish help yourself.The gym consists of 1 exercise bike, 1 treadmill and a weight bench, it isnt supervised so again be careful.After 11pm the all inclusive bar finishes and you will have to pay for everything then, the barman is very strict about this and i overheard a few arguments going on. They have a computer with internet access for 4euros an hour, but it does seem to crash quite often. We checked out at lunchtime on the last day and was expecting to have to pay for drinks, food etc. We neednt have worried because we werent asked for the wristbands back so we just carried on as normal. We would go back to this hotel again as the place is very clean and tidy, most of the staff are friendly and helpful. There arent many english people there though so be ready to hear a few germans muttering. So enjoy your holiday and forget about the rubbish reviews. We thought it was germans trying to put us brits off going. The Snowden Family

Sparkling clean, food good quality and quantity could have been a little more varied though. Swimming pool great, rooms great. Location perfect to get away from it all, (set amidst small holdings) off the beaten track, good bus service to lively resort if needed. Beach only short stroll away, lovely and quiet, not suitable for guests seeking sporting activities. speaking of which the gym er well, just go for a power walk on the beach if you feel the need for exercise !
I would go back, it was value for money and very relaxing.

the chrispy is set in a nice quiet location.we spent the first afternoon watching the sunset with the swallows swooping to the fabulous pool for a drink,paradise we thought.then we went
to the buffet restaurant.although there was a good selection
of salads etc,the main dishes were diabolical eg,lukewarm soup
and some meat dishes that we coudn,t name .but dont worry
if you left it at lunch, it would be rehashed with a bit of corn
or carrots at dinner and rechristened.the all inclusive beer
tasted like it had gone through the digestive system of a
sheep.thank god for platanias 15 minutes away by bus.

After we booked the holiday we decided too get some back ground on the hotel and after reading the first few reviews on this website thought OH MY GOD!!!!!!.

But please don't believe all you read. This hotel was very good indeed( the couple who travelled with us think the Germans have written the bad reviews to keep the English away) as there were only 6 English people there the week we went.

Yes there was not much of a choice of Drink(alcohol) just 3 a German beer that was excellent, Ouzo and Brandy, yes they were served in plastic cups only if you were going to the pool(safety)this is a good idea as I would not care for cut feet etc. But at this hotel there was no queuing at the bar for your drinks as it was help yourself (Great idea we thought)

The service was very good in the resturant and the food was of a good standard. It was served how the Cretans eat it warm but not boiling hot. The waiters were all dressed smartly in uniform not jeans as one person said they were also polite and indeed friendly as were all the staff.

The room we had was excellent spotlessly cleaned every day. In fact the whole hotel was spotlessly clean.

The area in which the hotel was sited was good in fact I would say that the whole holiday was of great value and I would recomend this hotel to any one for any age.
