Vritomartis Naturist Resort

This was our second visit to Vritomartis, and it won't be our last. Staff were friendly and helpful, even arranging taxi's to and from Chania airport for us. Our room and the hotel itself was spotless and well maintained. The beds were especially comfortable and our room overlooked the garden and sea. The frame of the bed, especially corner feet did catch us out a few times, but this was outweighed by the comfort it offered. The breakfast and evening buffet meals were lovely. As someone with a milk allergy I'd have preferred more vegan options, but I did notice that the poolside cafe does now offer vegan ice creams were most welcome. Filaki beach was delightful, as was the beach bar and we made frequent use of the 8.50 Euro offer of two sunbeds and umbrellas most days. The hourly minibus to and from the hotel was most welcome, especially for the uphill return journey. The key thing to note is that many items have to be paid for in cash, e.g. beach bar, on site shop, sunbeds, food drink and any excursions and taxi's. Only the poolside bar and restaurant allow you to charge food and drink to your room.

My wife and I like many others were returning guests. At this time of the year perfect weather seems guaranteed. It’s a long trip from South Africa to Crete and this time we economised where we could by using the excellent bus service from Port Souda to Chania and then Chania to Sfakia. The bus made a special stop for us at the Vritomartis entrance. Beautiful gardens, swimming pool, pétanque pitch, archery, tennis, beach etc. With helpful, friendly staff, good food, beautiful weather and outdoor facilities one finds oneself, along with fellow guests in a wonderfully relaxed and stress free environment. A real holiday!
