Domes Noruz Chania, Autograph Collection

A truly fantastic resort in a stunning beachside location outside the town of Chania but world’s away from the hustle of everyday life. Having stayed in some great beach locations around the world, there is no doubt this is up there with the best with golden sands, gentle warm sea waters, smooth walks in either direction and a general ambience that balances 5-star with chilled atmosphere. The sublime loft room is excellent - note bed options either upstairs or downstairs to request if available at time of booking, plunge pool with ocean or pool view. Quiet pool is for those that want to avoid the slightly more busy main pool with bar. We spent all our time on the beach is simply fantastic and more than enough sun loungers. The restaurants are equally exceptional. Breakfast with fresh meats, cheeses, honey, fantastic selection of fruits as well as egg station and generous daily changing buffet. Diner at Topos again amazing on half board basis or special evenings. More than enough alternative options in walking distance if you want some variety. Special mention for the stunning Raw with sunset cocktails and the delicious Asian/ Peruvian fusion food….simply stunning and Efi and her team are superb. In fact qll the team- including Elena and all the restaurant team are a credit to the resort. Also great evening entertainment but particularly the guitarist plus Margarita and her colleague as Thursday’s band. We loved it….have already recommended it too many others and we will be back. Thank you!! ❤️

This is one of the best 5+ resorts I ever stayed in. It is beautifully laid out on a sandy beach with lots of shade, shallow peaceful water and beach service. What makes this place unique is the shape and size of guest rooms, superb amenities, ambience and most importantly welcoming, helpful and friendly staff.

This is one of the best resorts in which we have ever stayed in all our years of travel. The setting and design of the resort are beyond spectacular. Our room, the Sublime Retreat, was absolutely breathtaking. It was a two level suite, with an outdoor plunge pool and outdoor tub. The views of the ocean were amazing. All of the staff with which we interacted were warm, caring, and truly helpful. While we intended to tour Crete, we cut our sighteeing short so that we could spend more time at the resort. Our dinners at Topos were amazing as well, sitting outdoors with views of the sea and the most beautiful sunsets. I truly recommend this resort for a wonderful and idyllic stay.

This place just gets better and better. This our second visit, and definitely won't be the last. On arrival we was told we'd been given an upgrade to 6101 with an amazing beach view. This hotel 5 star status should be upgrade to another never.. honestly you won't be disappointed. The rooms are spotless and cleaned to amazing standard everyday. Both communal pools are kept so clean. The beach is literally a few steps from our room. I can go on and on about this food and its special. The thing that sticks out about this hotel between many other is the Staff. These guys are just incredible. Nothing is to much. They're always happy to help. From the staff in the spa areas to the ones at breakfast. I can't mention everyone's name in this review but I need to mention Nikos Stefanidis and his team. This guy has the bar/Restaurant running like clockwork. He has a gift of working the room, giving time to each guest with a personable touch. The staff make this place such a nice place to stay.

I visited this hotel for 5 days in June. We had 2 rooms, a wellness loft and a Pure haven suite This was our first time in Crete. I would like to state separately the pros and cons of the resort Pros 1)Upon check in we met with Zoi Doulia. She was terrific. Explained everything about the resort, showed us to the rooms and did EVERYTHING one can do to make a guest feel welcome, appreciated and like family 2) Resort is beautiful, very well kept and every staff member goes out of their way to ask if you need anything. Service is clearly 5 star 3) Buffet breakfast is excellent 4) Dinner is excellent with music ( not the kind of music that would distract the guests but as my wife would say music that " adds to the "ZEN " relaxing feel of the entire resort" 5) Alex the restaurant manager always approached us to make sure everything was perfect. 6) Beach area was clean and well maintained ( lounges chairs etc) 7) We did not use the pools BUT walking past them, they were immaculate 8) Rooms were clean, well maintained and daily housekeeping was well done 9 ) I am sure I am forgetting some Pros CONS INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK THERE ARE NO CONS I DO NOT WRITE REVIEWS OFTEN ( THIS MIGHT BE MY 4TH IN 10 YEARS)BUT THIS RESORT DESERVED A REVIEW IT IS RARE THAT WE LEAVE A RESORT AND KISS THE STAFF GOODBYE.. WE DID WITH ZOI. WE CAME TO THIS RESORT FROM THE ST REGIS IN ROME ...SERVICE HERE WAS EVERY BIT AS PROFESSIONAL AND ATTENTIVE AS THAT AT ST REGIS PROPERTIES. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW THIS RESORT RECEIVED A 4.7 REVIEW. IT CLEARLY IS A 5 IN EVERY CATEGORY
