Amirandes Crete, Greece

The Amirandes is a Grecotel property close to the village of Gouves on Crete. It is a wonderful choice for a family holiday, whether you're an adult or child there's plenty to do - watersports on the (beautiful) beach for adults and older children, fab spa for mum to relax (wonderful!), the Grecoland play area and kids club was fantastic for the children, they loved it and made lots of great friends. The staff were brilliant, they spoke excellent english and the children had the same young lady looking looking after them each time they went, so it made them feel really welcome to see her friendly face. The service throughout the hotel was top-class and the food was delicious, we mainly ate in the buffet restaurant because the kids got free half board (special offer when we booked, but I think it's valid all year round)- there was a great choice, we never got bored. Breakfast was lovely too. The room was amazing, and matched our needs perfectly, we had a family suite with individual garden and pool which was great when we wanted a bit of relaxing family time, we just stayed by our own room and sunbathed while the kids splashed about in the pool :) - the room had a sliding door in between the kids area and our bedroom which was great - another family we met had two interconnecting rooms, which we saw and they were good too. Fantastic resort and would certainly return.
