Domes Noruz Chania, Autograph Collection- Adults Only

Location was amazing. Loved the beach. The atmosphere was great, drinks were great.

The sushi was just ok, but we have pretty high sushi standards.

We had a lovely stay at this beautiful hotel. The setting is beautiful and relaxed with incredible sunsets The outdoor pool and indoor spa facilities were excellent, and the food was consistently good. The beach was also lovely and the sea clear and shallow . Our room was spacious and comfortable, with a huge patio area that included a bath and plunge pool, with a view of the sea. The beach bats and ball provided was also a very nice touch. We also enjoyed the live music in the evenings. It created a relaxed atmosphere and was lovely to listen to while enjoying a drink and watching the sun go down.

The only downside for us was the half-board dining arrangement. We ended up spending considerably more than expected because it wasn't particularly clear which dishes were included and which incurred an additional charge. For example, on our first evening we ordered the prawn pasta as it appeared alongside the standard menu items, only to discover later that there was a significant supplement to pay. We also felt that the current system of offering 20% off the full menu price for non-included dishes wasn't good value, especially when many of those dishes were priced at €30 or more. A supplement, perhaps around €10 per main dish, would feel fairer and more transparent for guests. As constructive feedback, we would suggest providing a separate menu, or more clearly highlighting dishes that carry an additional charge. This would help avoid any confusion and allow guests to make more informed choices when dining.

We had a wonderful 7-day stay with a room facing the quiet pool area. I was worried that it would be too dark but it had plenty of natural light. The staff was friendly and helpful, and we appreciated the valet service and the quick response of the front desk staff via WhatsApp to any inquiries. Since it was early September, it wasn’t too crowded and we could easily find sunbeds by the pool and beach. The sunbeds are free and for hotel guests only, but since it is a public beach, other people can set up chairs too. (Although the hotel area was empty of non-guests 99% of the time.) But there's NO such thing as a PRIVATE beach in Greece, so any guest expecting hotel staff to remove people enjoying a public beach is rude and entitled. The hotel is very clean and well maintained, with a restaurant facing the sea, so you have a gorgeous view when having breakfast, lunch, or dinner. I am vegan and the lunch menu had a couple of good vegan options like the burger and poke bowl. Overall, we had a great experience and would happily return.

The wifi was spotty, especially at the beach. The breakfast and dinner menu could have a few more vegan options that aren’t just carbs. At dinner I ended up eating a lot of pasta with just sauce. Adding tofu or seitan would be great. The food itself is good, but a bit bland for our tastes. We prefer more seasoned meals but this is a matter of taste, it seems like most guests are happy with the food.

Great location by the beach, resort is small but very well maintained. Friendly and helpful staff

Not great value for money and rooms are design over function - room has a very odd layout with a basin in the middle of the rather small room. The half board is absolutely not worth it - for dinner you only have one option and most good choices are an expensive add-on. The restaurant menu is very limited and quality is hit or miss and quite variable and very overpriced. There is no evening buffet, so you are stuck with one option. Hotel allows guests to smoke in the undercover breakfast area, even bringing them ashtrays - this is ridiculous as it makes 99% of people’s experience terrible having to inhale a few smoker’s fumes while trying to enjoy breakfast. Lastly - the beach area is not private to the hotel, we had random locals setup their chairs behind the hotel loungers and it took some convincing to get the hotel to move them on - you don’t get a nice private and exclusive experience
