8/10 Very Good

Great setting, let down in a few areas
Overall this was a nice stay, the hotel has been designed and built very well. It's built on the side of a hill and as such, the higher you go, the better the view. The view over Ierapetra city at night is amazing. The only comment on the room is that the lighting could do with being better at the bathroom mirror and the wardrobe needs more shelves / drawers. We got a warm welcome on check in but rarely got a welcome at other times. Often no acknowledgement of arriving for breakfast or dinner. During the service of these, the staff often looked over-worked. That being said, overall the food was good. The beach was lovely with decent sun beds. In the near week that we were there the bins were never emptied or the sunbed tables wiped down. The beach bar was good, but would be so much better if they walked round every now and then to see if you wanted anything rather than having to go up each time. The gym was equipped OK, though could probably do with having a set of dumbbells. Nothing to wipe down equipment after use, the air con was limited to 24°C and no towels available which again was a let down, especially as they were strict on limiting towels. The little spa on site is decent - felt very relaxed after a massage. Overall we had a nice relaxing stay and it's almost frustrating that they don't just put a bit more effort in to get it amazing.

Property very nice . Room had plenty of space. Booked room with private pool. Fabulous view. We had buffet breakfast and buffet dinner which were both great. Only downside was property built on hill. So walking down ok, but walking up a little hard if you are older. They will take you to your room in golf cart with a phone call which we used. Only stayed one night

Friendly, welcoming and efficient staff, excellent food, spacious well appointed rooms, great beach area. Very few sunbeds at the relatively small pool. No other tavernas or bars in the immediate area. Opposite the beach but a busy road in between.

Second time and will stay again
Second time at this property and will stay again. I had recommended this property to friends too who also stayed there. This time I have tried the buffet dinner and was quite happy with the selection and taste. Room is spacious and well appointed apart from the mirror which was located on the wall by the bed (minor inconvenience). The property has also great sunset views.

Hotel is truly wonderful: architecture, cleannes, amazing food, quiet space, parking, welcoming with bubbles, we had some snacks saved for us as we arrived after the dinner time. Stuff is really helpful and overal atmosphere is nice and relaxing. There were a few negative sides though: it would often smell like you are on a farm (not sure if it's seasonal smell), shower was leaking, the sink was fairly blocked. The hotel is new but some small things like this definitely could have been fixed. Food in general is great but almost all the deserts had artificial taste so we had to stick to savory options and fruit. SPA at the hotel is overpriced and prices are not written anywhere, so we were under impression that staff was making them up as we spoke. There are free morning yoga classes 3 times a week, but the teacher didn't adjust her program at all and continued with advanced poses even though many participants were clearly beginners (there were no tips provided). I would say that all the positives are still overweight a few negatives, so I would happily recommend this hotel.

We were welcomed with a very friendly and courteous staff, always quick to help and serve. The property itself is very clean and modern with varying levels of amenities, pool bar on the higher level, 2nd level has dining tables and chairs with mood lighting and the next level is the restaurant, all with amazing views of the beach, sea, coastal village and mountains. A real panorama! The restaurant served buffet style breakfast and dinner with lots of variety and themes each evening, delicious! The beach was just across the street which you could access by taking the elevator or stairs through a short tunnel and onto the beach in seconds with lounge chairs, canopy beds and umbrella’s and beach bar. Overall awesome hotel for all ages, there were families, young couples and old….we were all looking for the same thing, relaxing and safe, clean, modern environment with spectacular views! Will go again! The only negative was you need jelly shoes to enter the water…there’s rock and it’s a little slippery.

The service at Enorme Santanna Beach is really excellent. The resort is gorgeous, the view is divine, and you are on the beach. The pool area is great, with lounge beds in the pool, a fabulous pool bar serving delicious food and drinks. Everything was here and my only complaint is that I don’t care for buffet dining. But the food is great and there are options to order food to your room. We booked rather last minute and were really pleasantly surprised by the property. Would stay here again and will recommend to friends and family.

One of the best accommodations we have ever seen. Service was top notch (they even thought of preparing some sandwiches because we checked in really late - and they prepared huge take-away breakfast because we checked out very early). They also offer complimentary dinners in addition to expected breakfast. The view is breathtaking, the parking is easy and the beach is great, too. Beware, though, that you'd most likely want to have water shoes for swimming - the water is emerald and crystal clear, but is not your generic sandy beach, the bottom is lava and slate rock, kinds slippery. Once you get deep enough you are just fine. Of course, they have a terrific pool area with a bar and evening live entertainment. All in all, excellent experience.

Lovely stay, but head into town for atmosphere
We had a lovely stay at the hotel, we had a 'superior swim up room with a shared pool' which had a great view of Irapetra for sunsets. I would recommend this type of room as the one to get, you can see several 'private pool' rooms as you walk around the hotel, and although these sound better on paper, they are not as good. Some are very exposed to people walking past and there is also not enough room next to them for two proper sunbeds (they only have bean bag style seats). Our room had two sunbeds. Breakfast and dinner were included (buffet) and while the food was, on the whole, good I think it is important to note that the restaurant does not have a great atmosphere. It is not big enough to seat the whole hotel (when full) in one go so there were two sittings when we were there (6:30 - 7:45 & 7:45 - 9). If you are after a romantic evening meal with your partner this is not the place, it is quite hectic (with people getting up and down for food) and (if seated near the buffet) the lights are so bright it is too much. You also feel quite rushed, which is often the case with buffets. Getting a seat outside is more preferable if you are able to but they are limited. If you want a romantic dinner and some atmosphere I would recommend going into town, we had two excellent meals at Zorba's (25-30 min walk of 6 euro cab). When the hotel is full (as it was when we were there) depending on the time you get to breakfast you may need to wait for a table, which is annoying.
