- Kato Daratso
- Sirios Village

This complex lies in the most beautiful area of Chania, Kato Daratso, which is 4 km west of Chania city. This hotel also is located only 300 metres from the sea and built on a verdant plot of 2.7 ha. The city airport is 14 km away. This residential complex is a truly magnificent Mediterranean village with small, white detached houses that are scattered among trees and flowers. Their architectural design blends in with the surrounding environment in perfect harmony. Endless gardens, the convenient parking area and mostly the friendliness of the people create the appropriate conditions for a rested stay for those who dream of really special holidays. Guests will also be comfortable in their well-equipped rooms. A sanitary outdoor pool, children's pools and a poolside snack bar awaits guests as well during the day.
Take time to pamper yourself with a visit to the full-service spa. You're sure to appreciate the recreational amenities, which include 4 outdoor swimming pools, a water slide and an outdoor tennis court. Additional amenities at this Mediterranean property include complimentary wireless Internet access, gift shops/newsstands and a communal living room.
Due to the surrounding area and the number of steps around the hotel, it may not be suitable for those with mobility difficulties.
We stayed at Sirios as a family of 12, we had three rooms around the pool which are modern and clean and we also had two apartments in the older bit which are a bit run down and in need of modernisation, the halls around the rooms (605 & 607) are dark and quite often rubbish is left in the window sill of the room, I noticed two knifes left there for the whole week, a shame as it could be a nice area.
The food is pretty much the same every night even though it is supposedly themed, the breakfast and lunch are much nicer than the evening meal and the snack bar offerings are quite nice too. Lovely pizza and gyros
The drinks ie cocktails and wine are pretty much undrinkable...the cocktails sweet and the wine tasteless. The beer is ok and soft drinks were fine. They also have a silly rule of only 2 drinks at a time, which for a large family like ours did not work!
Unfortunately we had a bad experience with the childrens club and our children only went once as one of youngster overheard the two girls saying that the "Brits" were rude, such a shame for the little ones, I dont see how a 4,6 and 9 year old could be rude! They seemed to favour other foreigners but did not like the British at all!
The toilet situation around the pool is pretty bad, there is one toilet underground in receiption that is shared by the whole hotel, its slippery in the day and too far for people to walk! I saw twice a child peeing in the pool! I think this should be addressed and one of the rooms by the pool used as a public toilet!
The staff around the pool and behind the bar are also not that friendly either, not the happy Greeks we have encountered before, they love to tell you off! Especially the manager in the restaurant, she loves to reprimand you if you leave the glass snack case open too long!
That being said on a busy Augusts week we had a nice time.
Lovely hotel, food and drink was perfect and very well placed to visit beaches and chania town. Rooms cleaned daily and staff were lovely. If I had one criticism it would be the evening entertainment was very poor in comparison to other places I have been. All in all a great holiday
My family and I really enjoyed our stay at Sirios Village Hotel & Bungalows. We ordered all inclusive and liked the buffet. The food was clean and the kitchen staff were all kind and welcoming toward our guests. The rooms are clean and big for a family of 4 people. Also, at Sirios we met different nationalities from all around the world and felt as one big family. We highly recommend Sirios!
Very nice service and a super nice facility. Had a wonderful week here. Highly recommend! I think it is even better for familys and kids!
We spent 10 days here as a family of 4. As soon as we arrived the, we were welcomed by Kiki at the reception desk. She was lovely and very helpful. We asked about any upgrades, as we booked a family suite in the older part of the hotel and were pleasantly surprised with an option to upgrade to a room with a private pool at a discounted price for most of our stay.
We spent the first few days in the original room we booked - it was spacious (living room and a bedroom + a small hallway made of cupboards - very handy), a spacious bathroom and a balcony. Each room was very clean and had air conditioning which worked very well. We enjoyed our first few days, but LOVED the rest of stay when we moved to the room with a private pool. It was luxurious, also very clean, extra bathroom, but the winner was obviously the outdoor space with the private pool and multiple tables, huge double sun bed, umbrella etc. It made our stay just that much more relaxing, because whenever we fancied a break from the main pool, sightseeing etc, we could just retrieve to our private paradise. The pool never felt crowded, somehow you could always find somewhere to sit, too.
The food was very tasty. We missed out on gyros at the snack bar - we didn't realise you could order it! Make sure you ask for it - it looked delicious. Also cretan vegetables - so flavoursome. It was a delight to try traditional dishes, but there was something for everyone and each night was themed. I will add the puddings were lovely. There was a variety of drinks too, including some alcoholic beverages. 3 cocktails to choose from every day (they change daily), which might be great if you are a big fan of cocktails (for all inclusive).
We didn't take parts in the mini disco and music games in the evenings but enjoyed the entertainment put on some of the nights - especially the Magic Circus and Cretan dancing. There was a kids club, too - again, no experience there.
It was easy to walk to the local beaches with lovely sand, some rocks here and there, delightful water and lovely bars and restaurants. Travelling to Chania was also easy - either by bus or taxi. We discovered that on a beach not far from us there was going to be a public excavation of a turtle nest - it was the most amazing experience. We got to watch some baby turtles racing to the sea!
Some of the days it was too windy to go on the Agios Apostoli beach, but then we went on the Iguana beach which is sheltered enough to be safely swimmable (lifeguards present).
All in all - we had a wonderful stay and would change nothing (apart from the gyros missing out). Thank you to all the staff and we hope to be back sone day.
