Alai Crete, a Tribute Portfolio Resort

The location is amazing, very clean, very nice people and services, delicious food at breakfast so there is a selection, good price, the hotel services are amazing, like the access to the sea, as well as the pool area, we really enjoyed it and would recommend it to friends

Stayed B&B for a week in July. Excellent check in with friendly staff, we also had a room upgrade which was a nice surprise. Breakfast was good and enough to keep us going all day. Right on the beach with plenty of sunbeds and shades. Location was fantastic, bang in the middle of the strip in Stalis, which is a lovely resort, quiet and mainly families so no mad clubs or bars all night. Selection of restaurants in Stalis is excellent and all good quality.

The only thing that was a gripe, and we did raise this at checkout, was people reserving sunbeds round the pool. Some people were doing this at 6am and by 8am all beds would have towels on them. No such problem at the beach though. I know the hotel is trying to manage this problem by putting signs up and advising at check in, yet many people simply ignore it. Not sure what the answer is.

Ease of transfer from airport , lovely beach and very comfortable rooms . Superb staff - could not be more helpful.

The restaurant lacked a little ambience- lovely food though.

Location was fab Sea view rooms was a lovely view. Beds were comfy. Staff were polite.

Breakfast wasn’t as expected for a boutique hotel … the times are very short 0730 to 1000 .. if you arrived at 0935 it felt rushed to get out. Small selection of hot food options, very limited fresh juice was provided. The hotel site is spread out over a number of areas so could do with a map. Paying extra for safe when staying for a week… Paying extra for beach as hotel guest … we then didn’t use this as once you added drinks it was expensive.
