Fodele beach resort, Crete

Has anyone ever been here?

I’m looking to book a week in the summer holidays for myself, my husband and our 13 year old son. Don’t normally do AI type holidays but I really feel like I need a week of just chilling and relaxing in the sun this year. This place looks like it fits the bill and the tripadvisor reviews are all great, but still nervous about committing for some reason!

Yes! Went there with 13 year old DD last summer and loved it. Normally avoid AI but it was great. Waterpark was clean with lots of free sunbeds in the shade; food was good with lots of variety; nice beach with lots of sun beds. The pool was the only busy spot but as there was no shade, we didn't fancy it anyway.

We went a couple of years ago with an 11 year old and an 8 year old and had a great time. It's set on a hillside with reception, restaurant and two pools at the bottom and the water park at the top. There is a little train that goes up and down though if you don't want to walk in the heat.

Food was good and good range of drinks.

Only negative for us was evening entertainment is a bit hit and miss and in the amphitheatre away from the bar so you couldn't sit and watch that with a drink.

I went pre COVID. It was very nice, quiet area. I liked the food, plenty of fresh fruit, nice pastries and freshly grilled meat as well as the usual stuff that kids like.
