Panorama Hotel

Second stay at the Panorama Hotel and we will be back. Friendly hotel with beautiful Cretan food overlooking beautiful Falassarna beach. Love the feta with tomato jam starter, freshly cooked fries and dolmades. All the dishes are tasty. Lovely pool and easy parking.

Negatives :- Given side sea view room & not direct sea view room as I booked (Booked the room 10 months ago). They changed room after I complained the next day. No kettle, waste bin in living room (only bathroom), ash tray, do not disturb door sign,coffee machine. Broken toilet seat. 1970/80’s fixtures & fittings very dated furnishings. WiFi flaky coverage Breakfast very poor - horrible instant coffee, very limited options & repetitive. Positives :- Location - looking down & over the beach beautiful views. Very quiet area (good for just 2 or 3 days) few taverns & a supermarket - not much else within walking distance. Price (Remembering you get what you pay for) you make your choice New rooms £££ or (very) old dated rooms £ Nespresso machine in room with 4 capsules replenished each day. Cleanliness - whole hotel is immaculately clean. Room cleaned every day. Lovely swimming pool The best most comfortable sun beds I have seen. Restaurant is quite good.

The hotel was rated as 5 star, that was absurd, it may have been 5 star 20 years ago, I feel 3 star would be more accurate. The entertainment by local entertainers was ok, however the animation team were an absolute joke. Two young girls that had no get up and go. The water aerobics they put on, if they could be bothered was dire. Evening entertainment, Limbo didn’t take place, adult couples games, they sat at one or two tables and played a game of cards. One nice guest showed them a card trick that was the highlight that evening. Waiting staff were fault less, very helpful and polite both at the pool and in the restaurant. Food in the restaurant was lovely, maybe where some of the five stars come from. Bar staff also excellent. The receptionist s were also excellent helpful and accommodating. Lifeguard really, more interested in his little shaded slot away from the pool, not sure how that would work in an emergency, he seemed more interested in realigning the sun beds that keeping an eye on the pool. All the sun beds were reserved for large periods of the day with no occupants, if they have a policy on this it’s obviously not managed. Furniture in the room was dated, I haven’t seen a hairdryer of it’s type for nearly 20 years, everything else was adequate. We stayed five days that was ample.

Great place with good food, also vegan. There is lovely view on the Falasarna beach with cristal clear water. Everything perfect. You get a water melon after the meal. You can sit inside and also outside.

We had a room in the new building and we were perfectly happy there. A top quality accomodation, modern, spacious, comfortable, quiet, and of course that wonderful sea view, with breathtaking sunsets! The only thing we did not enjoy so much was the breakfast buffet. The coffee which is provided there is really poor, and "real" coffee costs extra. The variety of breakfast dishes was also not that great. We had late lunch once at the restaurant, and that was good.

We loved this hotel. They built a modern new building last year with beautiful modern, clean rooms. The pool is clean and modern. The free breakfast was delicious and had a huge selection. We loved that they have a relationship with Beach Bar Avoratos where you get a private beach, modern sunbed/umbrella service for drinks/food for 10 Euros. The beach uncrowded and had patches of pink sand and perfect for swimming.

Nous avons été conquis par la situation, avec une vue imprenable et une chambre spacieuse, très bien équipée et décoré avec goût ! À la vue de travaux d agrandissement dans le complexe, nous avons eu peur du dérangement possible mais pas du tout!! Nous avons bénéficier d un calme apaisant! Au petit déjeuner, nous avons mangé les meilleurs croissants des hôtels visités en 10 jours. Le personnel à été très discret et très respectueux. Nous avons eu la chance de pouvoir réserver une nuit de plus tellement nous avons apprécier! Nous reviendrons !

Hôtel avec une vue magnifique sur le coucher de soleil. Une halte inoubliable dans notre parcours. Très bon accueil et la chambre était très propre, il manque un peu d'insonorisation mais sinon tout était parfait ainsi que le petite déjeuner. La taverne de l'hôtel était excellente.

Hotel très simple et avec du mobilier un peu vieux mais sinon la vue et vraiment top. L accueil est très agréable et le petit déjeuner est bon. Très bien pour un court séjour. La piscine est un gros plus dans notre choix. A 5 minute à pied de la plage.
