Intercontinental Crete Hotel Agios Nikolaos , Agios Nikolaos (Crete)

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positive and negative experiences. The rooms were very spacious with a large furnished balcony overlooking the sea, providing stunning views across the bay at no extra charge. However, the room itself felt dark and dismal despite being offered a two-bedroom suite on the top floor with bay views. The service was a bit of a mixed bag, with staff being pleasant and efficient, but there were attempts to cut corners on the all-inclusive package on quieter nights. The location was amazing, offering a decent size pool and spacious sun decks, perfect for a leisurely 10-minute stroll to the main town. The dining experience was wonderful, with a huge variety of food and desserts catering to every taste, from hot dishes to loukoumades-honey doughnuts. The facilities were decent, with a good pool and bar, although a little extra attention to maintenance and security would have been appreciated.

The hotel is ideally located by the seafront, perfect for exploring the town. The rooms could use some updates and lack USB ports, but there are redeeming qualities like paid breakfast and supper options. The pricing for certain items might be a bit high compared to local stores.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were filled with the owner's possessions, and the worn carpet definitely needed a deep clean or replacement. On the bright side, I had control over how often my bedding and towels were changed, which was a nice touch. However, finding a flea in the room was quite unsettling.

The hotel rooms were too basic with no toiletries, and there is no USB available in the rooms for charging. However, the breakfast and supper were included in the price, but drinks during dinner were not. The location on the fourth floor needs updating for a more modern feel.

I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The room was very clean, and I was delighted to be upgraded to a sea view room after my request. Plenty of storage space and free wifi were a great bonus. However, the lack of USB ports in the room was a downside. The meals were included in the package, but the prices for drinks, especially water, at dinner were quite high compared to nearby stores.
