Candia Park Village

Everyting was amazing. We really enjoyed everyting. Super nice people working there. Specialy Marieta who knows everyting about wines And Nicos with Michalis! People with big hearts working there. Water colors are amaizing. Everyting is super clean!

We spent so long trying to find somewhere in Crete and booked Candia Park based on the reviews, it felt like a gamble as anywhere does when you’ve never been there but we needn’t have worried. We stayed here from 4th-14th October 2024. We couldn’t have been happier with our experience. My husband has run hotels, restaurants and bars for years in the UK and USA, this makes him a very fussy traveller and very critical, he is not easily pleased but we’ve been back a few days and he’s already booked us in for next year! The staff are everything here, they are SO friendly, welcoming and accommodating. From reception to the bar and restaurants to the cleaning staff who bring fresh towels and clean the room everyday, they also made cute bows out of the bed sheets and even made a little bed for my daughters toy that she absolutely loved. These little touches were so appreciated. They work so incredibly hard and still manage to make you feel comfortable and well looked after. We have allergies, mine is very severe/ anaphylactic which is new to me and very frightening. Wherever we ate, the buffet, a la carte or even when we arrived at 11.30pm (and the lovely Maria on reception made us pizza!) they were so reassuring, they checked everything meticulously. Whenever I went to the buffet the super friendly head chef would give me a tour of every single option and tell me what was in it and if it was safe for me to eat, honestly I wish I could have brought him home with me, I felt so bad for inconveniencing him so often but he never gave any inkling that he wasn’t happy to do it and made me feel so safe! It’s the perfect place if you don’t like big, all inclusive hotels, surrounded by other Brits. It feels authentic just like a village and is absolutely beautiful. It’s spread over quite a big area which makes it all the more special, there’s an ice cream parlour, gym, shop and spa, all lovely. There are stunning views from every angle, a private beach with excellent snorkelling and the pool is so relaxing, the kids can have fun playing but the lifeguard makes sure it’s within reason. It’s close to Agios Nikolaos town centre and Elounda which are both well worth a visit. I would recommend hiring a car, it was easy enough online and saved us travelling at least an extra hour on a coach transfer, the hotel was so easy to find from Heraklion airport and took just under an hour. One very small criticism is that our children are 11 and 13 and we were surrounded by babies in every other apartment, whose crying woke us up every morning. I’m sure it was just an unfortunate coincidence and if we had mentioned it, something could have been done but it would definitely be something to consider. Thank you to all the staff at Candia Village Park, we will look forward to seeing you next year and hope you enjoy a well deserved break!

We have celebrated our wedding in Candia Park Village and everything was beyond our expectation: Spectacular views, Delicious greek cuisine, Friendly staff, Large and cosy rooms, Big pools with excellent pool bar, Sandy private beach with trees. We where 64 people with different interests and personalities and EVERYONE was happy. We even decided to celebrate our annivarsary in Candia Park Village. Special thanks to Mr. Giannis and Mr. George for helping us to orginize our wedding and for our great experience in the hotel. They have thinked about every detail we could not even imagine. And our wedding by the sea and wedding dinner in Taverna was amazing. Thank you Candia Hotel for your great hospitality and atmosphere. We had spent the best 4 days in this hotel. We will definitely visit you again!!!

Old fashioned hotel Quite noisy all day and night because of the people arriving and leaving with the suitcases Food is in the average but not the quality of other hotels done just before with less stars It is an hotel for the families with kid club two beautiful pools, a small beach with old sunbed. Take your mask as there are many fish in the little bay. This hotel needs to refresh the rooms as only the bathroom are refreshed Personal is really kind, helpful

Thank you very much for the pleasant service and professional massage from master Andreas! It was very nice to meet you and enjoy the procedures! And also very high quality products that nourish the skin very well. Thank you again and see you! ❤️

We have just returned from our 2nd trip to Candia park. And like the first time we were blown away with the hotel! Stunningly beautiful Excellent staff & service. Cannot wait to return again! The resort itself is beautiful, wonderful gardens. Plants & shared areas well maintained. The apartments are gorgous, little home from homes with very comfortable beds. Good air con & decorated to a high standard. You will spend your time soaking up a wonderful atmosphere created by the staff but unfortunately for every holiday going forward be ruined as none will be as nice as Candia park! ♥️ we sampled all restaurants on site all have wonderful menus. You won’t be left disappointed! Cocktails too are delicious. If you are considering booking Candia park do it! You will love it!!!
