Fodele Beach Water Park Resort

We choosed Fodele from the pictures on the internet, how else can we do that? We were very excited about the hotel. The lobby, the restaurants all common spaces look very good, they are clean all the time. But our room had nothing to do with what we saw when making the booking. We took the maisonette, it was the best choice to stay togheter with our two boys. It was not even close to the 60 square meters and the furniture was old. The window from the room on the groundfloor does not leave the sun to enter beacuse it is covered by landscape. Another minus star is for the food. We have traveled in Greece for about 20 years, but we had never experience the lack of sea fruits and fish like here. It was very dissapointing for a five star hotel. The stuff is very nice, but you don't pay for that. You pay to have some quality time, the vacantions are supposed to be something to remember.

One of the best family holidays we have had to date. My family stayed at room 941 with sea view The hotel and the views are amazing and the food delicious. Our son come down with chicken pox on the day we was supposed to Fly but thankfully Fodele beach hotel amended out stay 3 weeks in front. We are very grateful for this. Thank you Fordele for the amazing service at your hotel.

Nice resort with nice personal with perfect food, clean beach. Only one thing which we were not satisfied was extra bed... except this thing was everything almost perfect and we enjoyed nice time there.

An absolutely stunning location albeit there’s nothing else around it. A hire car or the bus is the way to get out and about. It’s perfect for family’s with children up to 14 years of age. The food is fantastic from the main restaurants, the pool bar food by the slides is very basic but will keep you sustained until the evening, or there is the train to take you back down to the main restaurants if needed. The main building and the rooms directly over looking the coast are all certainly five star, but it must be said that the family rooms built into the hillside, although very quaint and spaced out are not 5 star. I’d give them a 4 and that’s being generous as they are clean, tidy with fresh water left outside every day, but they need upgrading/renovating to match the rest to be an honest all around five star resort. It does leave a slightly bad taste in the mouth as this resort is priced 5 star but not all of the aspects of it are. The location/views, the slides and water park are fantastic, there is a shop onsite that sells snacks, drinks, trinkets etc. this shop arranged car hire and sells a range of swimming attire and equipment, goggles etc. it’s true that the evening meal peak times are pretty chaotic but it must be said that although the staff look stressed they work very hard trying to clean up and prepare tables for the next guests. Go after 19:30 is my advice. You must have the mojitos from the main bar, they are superb. All the cocktails are very good to be honest. The local beer and wine is not too bad as any all inclusive, a slight negative was that the bar stops serving all inclusive drinks at 11 but stays open until 1am but the drinks are then chargeable. The toilets in the main building are immaculate and the whole complex as a whole is exceptionally clean and there are always staff cleaning all hours. There’s a very good variety of evening entertainment, the spa was average this time but in 2023 was much better. We took the day trip to Spinalonga, an absolutely fantastic trip but be advised you leave at 6am and dont get back until 9pm! Worth it though for sure. We also went to Knossos palace and Heraklion which we would highly recommend. Something worth mentioning is that we came here also in 2023 and the life guards were ever so diligent and friendly but in 2024 they all looked new and there was a big burly man in particular who was being rude and man handling the other women working there which we felt at a family resort was unacceptable, the rest of the life guards were generally on the ball. We highly recommend all of the a la carte especially the barbecue on the beach which was devine. All in all a very nice resort, in which the majority of the staff work exceptionally hard to make your stay enjoyable and carefree and it would have had five stars if the rest of the rooms, ours included, was five star. Highly recommend.

Amazing resort in a beautiful location. Very nice and helpful attitude of the staff. The food was absolutely great.(There is really something for everyone). My son enjoyed the water park and the train ride around the grounds. The beach was beautifully clean and well maintained. I would also like to highlight the animation programs which were excellent and my son looked forward to them every day. We already know that this was not our last visit to this resort. I can recommend it to everyone with a clear conscience!

The best massage with Maria ❤️Everything Is perfect i recomend the place for everyone especially with family for me the best hotel
