Guest reviews for Esperides Resort Crete, The Authentic Experience

Everyone (1) Couples (3)
1 out of 5
We had an extremely stressful stay, where we were so unhappy, we checked out several days early on 4 June. Having recently married in April, we chose a 4 star resort because this was to be our honeymoon and we expected comfort and luxury. We selected a maisonette with balcony when booking. Our maisonette was dark and cramped, with no privacy, on a busy street. The bedroom was upstairs, with bathroom downstairs – so annoying when you need the bathroom in the night. The balcony was tiny, without a proper door. It had no privacy, as it overlooked the other maisonettes. Only a small ledge for drinks and no room for a table. The only other outdoor seating area was a narrow terrace at the front door, unpleasant to use, next to the road with passers-by constantly looking in on us and a heavy volume of noisy traffic and petrol fumes. The pool area lacked privacy as staff continually used it as a shortcut! We were informed that an ‘upgrade’ would cost an additional 20 Euros per night but felt we had already paid over the odds. We were next door to a sports bar, with loud music continuing into the early hours, preventing sleep. We had an upsetting incident with an extremely rude waiter for which the manager apologised and sent wine and fruit to us, but then effectively undid the apology by allowing the same waiter to walk past our door using the ‘shortcut’ to the restaurant. Because of all this, we do not believe this accommodation merits 4 stars or the £800 we spent on it.
