A luxury experience!

Mon Aug 11 2025 10:46:40 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time) by Rick G

So we've just got home from an amazing 15 night stay at the newly opened Oros, we've had the best time ever!..We was slightly concerned that the hotel was not going to be fully operational, but our minds were soon put to ease!.. The delightful front of house team are brilliant!..But I must say a special thank you to CoCo, who helped me order a parcel from across the island, and it came just on the Saturday night, as we left the following day, I didn't get to say thank you as it was her day off!..Every single member of staff at this place make it what it is, the pool attendants each day, the restaurant staff, the guy who spends all week keeping the towels fresh, always letting on, smile on his face!..the animation team, just everyone, top class service!..we found our spot at the kids o clock area, and ventured to the pool club for milkshakes. An amazing building, cut into the hillside, offering panoramic views out to the sea and mountains, our room was 3112, with a private pool, looking out to the sea, we couldn't of asked for any more!.. Mr Nicolas, the general manager was always on hand, chatting and acknowledging the guests, we got a lovely gift as we left off him, lovely touch!... We met so many lovely members of staff, we just couldn't put all the names down, but to each and every one of you, thank you! You work so hard! Highly recommend this resort for sure, will we be back? Absolutely we will!

A truly wonderful stay

Sun Aug 10 2025 13:30:43 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time) by Marcella W

We had a wonderful time and felt completely at home. Every single staff member, in every department, went above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed our vacation. It was a perfect example of Greek hospitality. Stefania gave us an excellent overview of the hotel and taught us a few Greek words. At the main restaurant, Hana always greeted us with her warm smile, and Giorgia made sure we were seated at our preferred table whenever possible. Giannis from the pool restaurant always had a friendly grin for us, which was contagious! Considering the hotel only opened to guests at the end of June, the entire team was incredibly kind, warm, and helpful. We were very impressed. The hotel is located directly on the beach. There is a mini-market on-site. You'll find other beach bars, tavernas, and supermarkets nearby. We highly recommend renting a car to explore the area. The nearest major cities are Rethymno (about 35 minutes away) and Chania (about 50 minutes away).

Wonderful family holiday

Sat Aug 09 2025 04:00:27 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time) by Lee K

We (2 x adults and 3 children 12, 9 & 5), stayed for 7 nights, in room 1111. The room was luxurious and the sea view is unbelievable. The hotel has only recently opened so there are a number of small things that are yet to be completed/tidied up. But these are insignificant things and did not detract at all from the hotel or stay. All of the staff really are super helpful and appear to delight in helping and making your stay a little more special. I’ve never stayed at a hotel where all of the staff are so professional and helpful/friendly. The breakfast buffet was very good, lots of choice and we never struggled to find nice food. Lunch served at the restaurant is very good, lots of choice and the food was delicious. The evening buffet was good and again lots of choice. We managed to eat in the Greek á La carte restaurant (which is difficult to get a reservation so do this ASAP), and the food and service was amazing. Children aren’t allowed to eat off the menu in the Greek restaurant but are allowed to take food in from the buffet. This worked well for us. We didn’t manage to get a reservation for the other á la carte restaurant (Japanese) so am unable to comment. There are two main pools, an adult only and then a family pool. There is a noticeable difference between the food and drink served at the pools. The adult only pool has a much wider range of choice which is something I feel should be considered as people with families still want to enjoy the same level of choice. Having said that, there were lots of children in the adult only pool so it appears there is flexibility over who can use the pools. And did I mention the view…? Absolutely beautiful and it really does take your breath away. We would definitely return and we had a wonderfully holiday.

Truly outstanding

Sat Aug 09 2025 01:56:44 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time) by markhD2433XW

Beautiful with outstanding service After lots of worries about visiting OROS due the delayed opening I can say honestly they all went away as soon as we arrived! Yes there were a couple of niggles ( to be expected in a brand new hotel ) our stay was amazing ! Having visited Greece for several years and staying All inclusive resorts all of our family said this was our favourite.( previously visited , Grecotel Dama Dama , Mitsis Blue Domes , Mitsis Rinela ,) So why was OROS better quite simply the service and welcoming feeling from every member of stay was outstanding! Georgia especially ! The food overall was amazing ( slight improvements needed to the kids Buffett selection ) ! Drinks were plentiful and delicious! Hands down the best Ai draught lager I’ve ever had ! The rooms were stunning (3113) the swim up pool was brilliant! With the most stunning view over the wild goats on the hill and down to the sea ! The sunsets are to die for ! Overall it’s the first time we I’ve ever thought that I would happily return and I always want to try somewhere new ! Well done OROS you have the foundations for a truly world class hotel ! Ευχαριστώ

Amazing experience!

Fri Aug 08 2025 11:38:46 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time) by Nikoleta K

Everything was wonderful! First of all, the staff was friendly and helpful. They made us feel comfortable, providing us with everything we needed. Breakfast and dinner were excellent and the view was breathtaking. The service was also amazing and especially, Georgia who really made us feel like we were at home. The staff was nice and patient. Everything was new and beautiful. Our room was clean and the view, once again, breathtaking. Moreover, the nights at the hotel were calm and relaxing as we had the chance to drink a cocktail at the terrace with an outrageous view… To sum up, it was an unforgettable experience and we will definitely come again next summer!
