Semiramis Village

Μου άρεσε πολύ το ξενοδοχείο για την τιμή και την τοποθεσία. Το μόνο πράγμα στο δωμάτιο του ξενοδοχείου μου που δεν ήταν καλό ήταν το κρεβάτι, στο οποίο ήταν πραγματικά δύσκολο να κοιμηθώ. Δεν πρόκειται να επιστρέψω ξανά σε αυτό το ξενοδοχείο γιατί ένιωσα ότι το ένα μέλος του προσωπικού με ενοχλούσε ζητώντας φιλοδώρημα όλη την ώρα όταν καθόμουν στο δείπνο έπαιρνα ένα ποτό από το μπαρ ή οτιδήποτε άλλο έκανα. Μερικές φορές όταν καθόμουν για ένα μεσημεριανό γεύμα Στεκόταν στην άκρη του τοίχου και με παρακολουθούσε ενώ προσπαθούσα να φάω και μου κούνησε λεφτά που φέρνουν κύπελλο. Έτσι με κάνει να νιώθω καθόλου χαλαρή. Παρόλο που το ξενοδοχείο μου ήταν ένα ξενοδοχείο all inclusive και πέρα ​​από αυτό έδωσα φιλοδώρημα σε μια γυναίκα με κοντά μαύρα μαλλιά μια ηλικιωμένη γυναίκα με σκούρα μαλλιά που με ενοχλούσε με ένα φιλοδώρημα ζητιανεύοντας όλη μέρα, της έδωσα ένα φιλοδώρημα και δεν ήταν ευχαριστημένη για το ποσό και όταν επέστρεψα στο ξενοδοχείο από το ταξίδι μου επέστρεψε τα χρήματα που της είχα δώσει ως φιλοδώρημα, νομίζω ότι αυτή ήταν πραγματικά αγενής συμπεριφορά. Νομίζω ότι αν ο Διευθυντής του ξενοδοχείου το γνώριζε αυτό, οι ενέργειες αυτής της γυναίκας δεν θα ήταν αποδεκτές γιατί οι πελάτες του ξενοδοχείου θα έπρεπε να μπορούν να χαλαρώσουν από τις διακοπές τους. Έχω πάει σε πολλά all-in ξενοδοχεία και έχω κάνει διακοπές στην Ελλάδα στο παρελθόν, ακόμα και εστιατόρια έξω δεν σε αναγκάζουν να δώσεις φιλοδώρημα. Δεν με πειράζει να δώσω ένα μικρό φιλοδώρημα στο προσωπικό, αλλά πρέπει να προέρχεται από την καρδιά μου, δεν μου αρέσει να δίνω φιλοδώρημα όταν αναγκάζομαι και με κάνουν να νιώθω ότι δεν μπορώ να χαλαρώσω.

Εξαιρετική εξυπηρέτηση φιλικό εξυπηρετικό προσωπικό φανταστικές εξωτερικές εγκαταστάσεις μπαρ και εστιατόριο καλό φαγητό καλή τοποθεσία άνετο δωμάτιο

I had an excellent experience at the SPA. You have to book in advance to make sure there is availability, but it's well worth it!

For context this holiday was a lot of firsts for various members of our party: first trip on a plane, first time abroad, first trip to Crete, first all inclusive experience, first full family holiday (11 of us in total) We arrived at the airport at close to midnight, tired, lots of questions and expectations of the hotel / resort that we couldn’t really answer. The chap behind the desk was helpful, spoke decent English and explained about the all inclusive package and what we could expect. We didn’t have printed copies of the accommodation vouchers so forwarding emails from six months previously on the reception wifi was a bit of a headache. We did not know what to expect for four star accommodation in Greece: we had three rooms, all with whisper quiet air conditioning, en suite shower facilities, comfy twin beds and balconies with patio furniture. There were a few things not included: no kettle / tea or coffee making facilities but we were too tired to want to use any of it anyway. Our party included kids aged 9-19 with ranging food tastes from zero-veg carnivore, gluten and dairy-free diets, and the full range on the fussy-travel gourmet spectrum. The hotel clientele seemed predominantly European: a few Brits, lots of German, some Dutch, French, Italian, Polish etc. Yet they managed to provide three lavish buffet-style meals everyday with a variety of options to cater for everyone. Breakfast includes cereal, pastries, yoghurt, eggs, bread, hot and cold meats and cheeses, fruit, juices, with hot and cold stations. Lunch and tea included soup, pasta, rice, potatoes, pork, beef, fish, salad, olives, veg and many dessert options including a help yourself ice cream station with sauce and sprinkles on the side. there is usually a couple of named Greek specialities. The food was delicious and freshly replenished right up to the end of the service although it was not always well labelled. I had multiple helpings of something labelled ‘steamed carrots’ that was seasoned broccoli roasted with hazelnuts. I spent most mealtimes trying to work out whether each item was intended as familiar fare for particular international guests or was something local and authentic. Fish fingers and baked beans were an easy spot, the coffee and cake snack seemed aimed at the German guests. Only one faux pas so far: I took a nice dollop of what I thought to be Greek yoghurt with honey onto my watermelon only to find it was mayonnaise. Food, drinks and snacks are available at strict times and the pool bar staff are friendly. The pool is warm, there are abundant loungers and several shady spots to hide from the sun. We were not sure what to expect from the Latin dance show on Monday night, but it was brilliant, some impressive skills, cheeky comedy and they got most of the audience up on the dance-floor at the end. If I wanted to be picky, I could focus on the areas where other hotels have better facilities: mints on pillows, free hair care products in the bath

The hotel could have been quite good if not for the location and many shortcomings. The hotel is located on a mountain, the last part of the climb is especially steep, making it uncomfortable to climb on foot. A normal beach with services is located 2 km away; no transfer is organized to it and back, as in similar hotels located quite far from the beach. The area is well-groomed and clean, but there is only one elevator, in the main building. We were lucky enough to live in the main building, in a family room, for this the hotel gets a solid 3, otherwise it would have been much less, because everywhere you have to climb uphill. The hotel lobby, oddly enough, is air-conditioned, the restaurant is completely unclimatized, ventilated only by open windows. The food is quite mediocre, the buffet is not very large, for a 4 star hotel there is not enough choice and quality. There was seafood only once during the whole week (!), mussels in tomato sauce, although the hotel is located on an island in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea (!). Drinks like Fanta of different types, many with some kind of uncharacteristic taste for Fanta, the wine is mediocre, the cocktails are normal only for the money. There are also a lot of shortcomings in the room, such little things as a tight button in the tank or a hard-to-close door to the toilet, a hole in the floor for draining excess liquid from the shower is located in one place, and water accumulates in a completely different place, right on the floor. There are no facilities for drying swimsuits or towels at all, just chairs on the balcony. An ancient air conditioner in the room, which periodically turns off due to electrical overvoltage, and the same ancient power poles that the electrician had to climb on to tighten the plugs that had flown out due to the overvoltage. It’s a pity I didn’t take a video of this spectacle; there would have been a lot of views on YouTube. The Internet was paid, 2 euros per day, ok, and it was turned off only once and then not for long. The TV is modern, flat, hanging on the wall, everything is ok with it too. The animation was shown only once, for some reason on Monday, we left for Santorini early on Tuesday morning, so we didn’t watch it, I can’t evaluate it. My conclusion is this: despite the obvious efforts on the part of the hotel administration in its current form, today absolutely healthy people who are enthusiastic about overcoming all sorts of difficulties can stay at the hotel. I prefer a more comfortable stay. Yes, I completely forgot - there are terrible waves on the beach almost all the time, so all together it turns out to be more of a sport than a vacation.

Lovely and friendly hotel where the staff are a delight, the food is fabulous and plenty of it, the rooms were cleaned every day, beautiful views and a relaxing atmosphere. True its at the top of a heart attack hill, and not particularly close to a beach if you have small people and loads of bags, but we were happy lounging around the pool with our all inclusive drinks.

My husband and I have recently returned from Semiramis Hotel, where we stayed for 11 nights. We were supposed to stay for 9 nights, but the fire at London Luton delayed us . I can honestly say that no stone was left unturned to help us, not only stay at the hotel, but keep our sea view room. We were on the 5th level. The hotel is built following the contour of a very steep hill. The lift only goes to the 1st floor, and from there, it is in excess of 90 steps to reach the 5th level. Needless to say, we only went to and from our room only when absolutely necessary. I had my birthday there, and the steps almost killed me as I am now over 65. There is a hill from the road that gets a little steep as you reach the top, but a cool glass of any beverageon getting to poolside is restorative. The staff... they are amazing and always smiling even when they are super busy. The food wasn't Michelin star but there was always something nice to satisfy your hunger. The rooms are a little dated but clean, and housekeeping does a marvellous job considering they have no trolleys and traverse the hill several times a day. Be prepared to not have a plug in either the sink or bath. The air-conditioning was free ...bonus. we paid for the Internet as we needed to access it via our room. Overall , I would highly recommend Semiramis Hotel. Warning though if you have mobility issues try to get a room below the 3rd floor.

Really nice hotel and the staff and amazing. Very helpful and polite. There is a good choice of food and they even had gluten free bread which was brilliant as I was worrying about my options. The hotel is clean and the rooms have everything you need. The air con works well and we had a small balcony. The location is good. Midway between Hersonissos and Stalis. Both of which are great for shopping, eating and entertainment. Stalk is is walkable and you can get the bus to Hersonissos for €1.60 each way. Very regular and easy to use service. The only downsides are there was only entertainment once on our stay. This meant having to go to Stalis or Hersonissos in the evening so we had something to do. It is up a large hill and it can get tiring to walk up in the day so we rented a little car so that we could easily explore. It is on the mountain side so there are lots of steps. The lift doesn’t take you up past the first floor and this was annoying. They could do with a little shuttle bus like they do at the other hotels to go up to the rooms because this would then be perfect. You do get the views though being on the mountain side and there is a lot to do in terms of excursions so it is a great place to come.
