Kalimera Kriti (meaning “Good Morning Crete”) is an enormous complex with bars, restaurants, conference/dance halls, beach, three swimming pools, gym and hundreds of tasteful self-contained rooms all slightly different. Mine (c216) had a large outdoor roof terrace with partial sea view unfortunately obscured by the walls which were too high to see over from the deck-chairs provided. Comfortable beds and pillows, good storage, reasonable Wifi, hairdryer, minibar fridge and cable TV provided (bring your own streaming device if you need it), no kettle or iron. Bad smells in the bathroom from a blocked drain which was not resolved during my week’s stay despite three requests. There is limited shopping on site. The village of Sisi 2km away has a good selection of small shops and other services including bars, pharmacy, medical centre, car/bike hire and a laundry. It’s 3km to the bus stop on the main road for hourly transport to Malia, Heraklion and Agios Nikolaos – apparently in the busy season a daily bus comes to Sisi and even to the hotel. The venue is built up the hillside and has many steps and only a few ramps mainly for the convenience of restaurant trolleys and porters' golf buggies. I don’t know if any of the rooms are disabled-friendly but I didn’t see a lift anywhere. No spaces for prayer or worship but there is a tiny chapel nearby and a larger church in Sisi. Food was delicious with abundant choices (get there early because the good stuff on the buffet goes quickly!); service in the restaurant a little indifferent at times and the mark-up on alcoholic drinks rather excessive. Friendly reception staff were helpful and the cleaners were lovely. Outdoor swimming was a little chilly in April but the smaller heated indoor pool was pleasant and uncrowded.
