Again, another year at the Magda Hotel and our stay is fantastic. The hotel has been updated, and as a guest who has a mobility problem, I use walking sticks. There is disabled access to the bathrooms main reception via a lift and excellent all access bathroom facilities in the new extension also there are toilets all over the complex for the more able body guests toilets are spaced over the whole site.All the tiling has been updated to non slip in all areas within the complex. The main pool has a step in the ⁸area so I can access using my walking aids to get in and out of the pool with no problem ⁹ We can't fault anything, and it is a testament to the management and the staff that make this place a must stay. This is the reason we keep coming back. All the team needs to be congratulated for their efforts so we can enjoy our two weeks away each year and for any doubters here this is our 18th year of coming here that says something about the Magda Team that is so special to make your holiday experience a great place to be see you all again in 2025. Many Thanks Steven and Heather

“Lovely hotelli, erinomainen henkilökunta ja ruokaa”

Vierailimme Magda-hotellissa 2.-9.8., Se oli aivan upea, vaikka emme ymmärtäneet kieltä (ranska), se oli ihanaa. Henkilökunta on ensiluokkainen. Aluksi emme olleet todella mukana toiminnoissa, mutta kun sanomme viihdejoukkueelle olleen englantia, he yrittivät parhaimmillaan sisällyttää meidät ja pu… lisää

Vierailimme Magda-hotellissa 2.-9.8., Se oli aivan upea, vaikka emme ymmärtäneet kieltä (ranska), se oli ihanaa. Henkilökunta on ensiluokkainen. Aluksi emme olleet todella mukana toiminnoissa, mutta kun sanomme viihdejoukkueelle olleen englantia, he yrittivät parhaimmillaan sisällyttää meidät ja puhua englantia (pitäen mielessä he ovat ranskalaisia ​​/ puolalaisia ​​ja vain puhuvat hyvin vähän englantia) Huuta Gabriellalle ja Jean Paulille, joka yritti todella kovaa. Ruoka oli hämmästyttävä, runsaasti erilaisia. Paljon tekemistä ja näkemistä

“Kaikki käsittävä”

Käytin vain 7 yötä all inclusive kanssa äitini, sisko ja veljenpoika, hotelli on aivan ihana. Ruoka oli herkullisia mukavuuksia, kuten kylpylä, jossa erinomainen.

Ainoa kielteinen minulla on se, että tämä on yleensä ranskankielistä keinona, vaikka henkilökunta yritti kaikkensa tehdä meistä mukavaksi, emme vain ymmärrä paljon sanoneita. Suosittelisitteko ehdottomasti, jos puhut ranskaksi.

We travelled as a couple, with another couple. ROOM We booked one of the deluxe double rooms in the newer part of the hotel. The room was beautiful, on the ground floor and had a disability-friendly bathroom. Lots of space though we were saddened that our room ended up being right beside the road, meaning we were often kept awake or woken up. Our room didn't look out on to the pool which we were also disappointed by, however still didn't detract from our holiday as we didn't spent much time there. POOL We spent most time by the pool at the newer part of the hotel. There are 2 pools, 1 of which is beside the swim up rooms. There's also a rooftop pool. These areas are amazing, sunbeds are super comfy and we never had an issue getting one, however I don't think the hotel was at full capacity. The pool was in shade for most of the morning til the afternoon meaning it was pretty cold - not necessarily a bad thing for some in the heat. BAR STAFF The bar staff were amazing. Super friendly and talkative. Just really lovely service and they are a credit to the hotel! DRINKS AI drinks were pretty standard local drinks. Though sometimes the cocktails were made a little strong - the inconsistency could be shocking! But overall managed to find a couple I enjoyed. I feel it would be such an improvement to just have well known commonly made cocktails. FOOD Food was OK - breakfast very much the same but loveddddd the rotation of pancakes and waffles which were great. Waffles and pizza at the snack hatch were also great, just wish there was something served late at night. Pizzas were well made and delicious. Rotation of various meats, veg, pastas, salads - all fine but nothing spectacular ENTERTAINMENT This was a big let down for us. We love having some type of entertainment in the evening, but most days it was inside by the stage which was cramped with little seating. The outside area has a perfect section for entertainment, which was used for Greek night and it was amazing! So disappointed this wasn't used more. There was also a few quizzes and other entertainment here and there, however for the most part - everything was said in French so we couldn't understand! I've been to resorts before where entertainment is spoken in English, French and German to include everyone, however so often we were unable to take part at all or else were forced to listen to the team and other guests shout in French. Back to Greek night however - this was by far the best, and the Greek musicians/singer/dancers were absolutely amazing! LOCATION The hotel is under a flight path - if you're in any way a light sleeper this will most definitely be a problem. There were quite a few nights we slept terribly even with ear plugs, and as I said before our room was by the road. My fiancé also got woken up by a rooster one morning! In terms of things to do - there are watersports nearby, a beach, a few lovely coastal tavernas and beach snack bars. A short walk away is the main street in Gouves which has a Shisha bar which had great vibes, and our favourite restaurant that we ate at "Knossos family taverna". It's also very easy to get from the hotel to both Heraklion and Hersonissos. TRAVEL We got taxis as we didn't want to lengthen the journey (1hr approx by bus to both, longer if you're going to Hersonissos strip). Approx €40 to Heraklion and €20 to Hersonissos. Hersonissos was definitely worth it, Heraklion not so much personally I'd say overall, the new and relaxing vibe of the recently built areas increase my review of this hotel from average to very good. However giving the concerns with noise, entertainment and average food/drink - I don't think I would be in a rush to return
