Agelia Beach Hotel

TLDR: Wonderful place, breathtaking sea view, tasty food, great service, great drinks. Hotel employees do the maximum to make sure you are comfortable. I would recommend this to both couples and families. Details: The beach area is very nice and connected directly to the pool area between hotel buildings. The beach and sea are mostly sand, with some pebbles on the beach-sea intersection. There is an appropriate number of sunbeds and a shower to get rid of the salt. The bar by the pool is really close to the beach and serves fizzy drinks, beer, cocktails, coffee, snacks(pizza, sandwiches, cakes etc…) The pool almost fills the space between the buildings and it’s a nice alternative to use in days when the sea is wild. The restaurant serves breakfast, lunch and dinner in an all you can eat style buffet that includes a very nice assortment of dishes every time. The employees come and ask you what you want for a drink and clean the tables from used plates and such. The rooms are very nice and clean and some have the Seaview and some have direct access to a pool. Overall, our experience was very pleasant and we most definitely would come again.

We moved to this hotel after a disappointing booking elsewhere. What a find! A magical experience here at White Olive. Shout out to Mr. Cristos, the hardworking friendly manager, Despina the friendly front desk manager, and Christina the always smiling server. When we were not on excursions we had relaxing days by the pool and beach. The food and drinks are included and the buffet too. Amazing food at breakfast lunch and dinner. So sad to leave.

Hotel is in a nice location on the beach with a few nice places to eat locally. We had a car and would have been lost without it as there isn’t much to do in the doorstep but if you want a “fly and flop” holiday it’s a good spot. The hotel was very clean and the staff cleaning rooms were lovely and did a great job. The beds are very comfy too which is a bonus. The hotel though is what I would class as a UK three star. The staff are grumpy and you barely get a smile from most of them, even when you try and engage. The restaurant manager just likes talking to tables of young girls and you don’t even get a hello from him. The food is not great and is limited with quite alot unlabelled. Drinks are served to the table but you often cant get anyones attention to order a second drink. We saw the chef smoking in food prep areas behind serving stations which wasn't great either. in the evening they play music via YouTube so you hear constant adds - not good. Drinks are in plastic glasses even when not by the beach so in the evening you cannot even enjoy a drink out of a real glass. I loved Crete but wouldn't go back to this hotel.

Comfy clean rooms, nice beach! Front of hotel was bad though, rubbish everywhere. Food was not hot, and was practically the same every day. Staff seemed grumpy except a few waiting staff. Had to go to shop for water, not easily done for older people. lots of trip hazards and tatty sun loungers. Table tennis next to the restaurant with kids running in between tables to get ball back, very annoying when trying to eat. Much can be improved on, definitely not a 5 Star.

Heard and read great reviews but absolutely nothing like it ,pictures look great but don’t show you the construction site ,relaxing no way Food repetitive waiter waitresses basic apart from one who works outside area When you speak to reception they look at you blankly ,stayed in many five ⭐️ hotels this definitely is not And if you book with love holidays don’t can never get hold of them

This hotel is no where near a 5* I have been to menu hotels around the world and have been waited on hand and foot, the hotel rates as a 3* at the most. Best thing here is the rooms excellent, the food is nearly the same every night and great for polish and germans, is English and like me a fussy eater don’t bother, Out by the pool could be better 3 rd day in and the builder moved in making all sorts of noises not impressed as there is nothing in the in the love holiday site or are you told when you arrived shocking This hotel should be an adults only as there is nothing for kids to do either give a wide berth. Wouldn’t recommend
