I don't usually stay at 4 star hotels, but when I compare Spilia Village with the two 2 star hotels I stayed at during this trip to Crete, it comes out as very poor on several fronts. To access my room required 'climbing' over a novelty hump back bridge. It was dangerous when wet and a completely unnecessary feature. Access was then down eight concrete steps, turn a corner and immediately up eight more concrete steps. Such an ill thought out design! My room was very dark. There simply wasn't a window, just patio doors, only one of which opened. The lighting was so subdued, I had to use a torch if I wanted to read in bed. The wardrobe had 'shifted'so it wasn't possible to pull open the drawers. Located in the darkest corner of the room, I needed my torch again, to find dark coloured items of clothing. The bed itself was nice and comfy, pillows were fine, as were the towels. There was a huge armchair in my room, taking up a silly amount of space and far too big for me - I felt like Goldilocks in Daddy Bear's chair. Luckily staff found me two cushions to pad the back of it. It was tricky finding staff if you fancied a drink. The poolside bar closed at 6pm, after which you had to go into the restaurant area calling out 'hello ... anyone there?' The breakfast was excellent. A very good choice including fresh fruit. The (optional) packed lunch I had was dire. I haven't had white sliced bread since the late 1980's! Evening meal was fine. Not excellent, but fine. The staff were lovely. I was disappointed that there was no written information in the room. Cheaper hotels had some taxi numbers, emergency info, details of local interest. The entire layout, including interior restaurant area, was a trip hazard, and I'd be surprised if each season didn't produce a few sprained ankles slips and trips. So, although on the whole I enjoyed my stay, (despite all these issues), I think I'll stick with 2 star hotels, where common sense, windows and decent wattage lighting prevail.
