"I stayed for two weeks with my 7 year old. We had a lovely relaxing time and didn’t want to leave! The hotel grounds are beautiful and spacious providing lots of entertainment options from the three pools to minature golf, tennis court, cooking classes, kids club and spa. The staff are wonderful - very caring and motivated. The food is delicious, fresh, varied and plentiful. Thank you to everyone for making the stay so delightful. We’ll be back! Nicola and Leo"

"Spent 4 nights here with my wife as part of our Honeymoon in Greece. It was absolutely splendid. Such a peaceful, wonderful resort with great amenities. The pool side is absolutely breathtaking and so relaxing. There is a great pool bar nearby and the servers bring you drink and food in very timely fashion. I had originally a sea view only room and they upgraded us to a shared plunge pool room for free. This was an awesome upgrade. We used the plunge pool a bunch and its basically your own private pool. The room is super comfortable. Don't mind the key-powered room because once you get and put your card in then turn on the AC, massive vents cool the room in minutes. The breakfast buffet was always excellent with so many tasty options sure to please anyone. We ate at the Cretan restaurant they have there and it was so romantic. The food was extraordinary and among the best we had had on Crete. There are a lot of awesome picture and video taking opportunities on the resort too. Sure to make your friends and family jealous. Some cool local beaches nearby with great views and clear waters - just ask the staff there and they will tell you the options. Only 30 min from the Heraklion airport - no need to deal with the huge journey to Chania if you are not so inclined to go there, can have just as much of a great time at Abaton. Highly recommend! We will be coming back! "

"Excellent service! Definitely 5 star service."

"A fantastic all inclusive place particularly for families. Amazing staff"

"Very good overall."

"We spent a week here with our two daughters. It was an amazing experience. The hotel itself is beautifully designed with several options for swimming and laying out. It was great to be able to stay at a hotel where we could access the ocean directly. We never had issues finding beach chairs. The staff was incredibly nice and the food was excellent. Would love to return here again someday! "

"There were lots of dining options within the resort that provided variety throughout our stay. The buffet at the main restaurant was the best I’ve ever had. We loved that we had healthy, great tasting options for every meal. The rooms were spacious, clean and comfortable."

"Very nice front desk people, also 24 hour front desk. Our room had a little private balcony which is nice (I think all do) pool was nice (open til 7 pm) . Parking on street was regular trying to find a spot but they have a private lot also but about 10-15 spots. About 5 min drive from airport and 5-10 min drive to the fortress/downtown. Nice quiet safe location. "

"Very nice clean hotel with good amenities and friendly staff , comfortable bed and lovely shower , could do with a few more decent tv stations"
