Just come back from a bit of winter sun and staying at this hotel, and I was overall really impressed with the hotel. Positives - The sun lounger and pool bar area are superb. No fighting for any beds, perfect sun trap, and extremely relaxing. - The food - 90% of what we ate was delicious. Granted some of the food wasn’t to my liking, but that was out of personal preference. There’s so many different options to choose from, and the different themes each night kept our taste pallets fresh. - The staff were super friendly and couldn’t do enough for us - Whether having our room cleaned entirely each day, having a golf cart driving us to our room with our luggage, or the little shop selling everything for really reasonable prices. - The drinks are great - Yes half of the menu you have to pay for, and I would’ve liked a pint glass as opposed to a 300ml glass for my beer, but the cocktails and mixers were really strong. - Bedrooms were comfortable overall. The only slight room for improvements… - The bathrooms do need refurbishing, didn’t bother me too much as I didn’t really spend a lot of time in the room, but flicking the water pressure onto the shower was a challenge each day. Hairdryers are very dated. - The entertainment wasn’t that good at night - Only part for me which didn’t feel like a 5* experience Overall, amazing location, the beach next door was beautiful, the scenery is breathtaking, and really easy to get to Chania town via a bus (€1.60 each way) if you did fancy a day out. Would highly recommended this hotel to anyone

The Leptos Panorama offers a panoramic view across the Sea of Crete from its spectacular elevated position. We were lucky enough to stay in the newly built studios which look out to the island of Agii Theodori. The stunning views are the icing on the cake for guests lucky enough to stay at the Leptos Panorama. The hotel is immaculate, superb staff on hand at all hours, a shop, gym, sauna and handy lift to take guests from the cliff top to the beach road below. We stayed bed and breakfast. Breakfast offered a huge choice of Greek and European hot and cold food - Greek pastries and Cretan honey especially welcome. Staff went the extra mile to make guests' stays memorable - champagne, chocolate covered fresh fruit and a card for our 25th wedding anniversary delivered to our room, was so kind and a lovely surprise. The hotel is about 4km from Chania old town - get the bus, run every 15 minutes and costs €1.60 one way - buy the tickets from the hotel shop. Chania is breathtaking, a real Mediterranean treasure. Leptos Panorama is a great base for a cracking holiday. Enjoy!

“Eating Outdoors - great view”

There were a couple of niggles but basically a great hotel, unlikely to be disappointed. Niggles first. For check in you must have a smart phone as it is a web site you need to used.

There were a couple of niggles but basically a great hotel, unlikely to be disappointed. Niggles first. For check in you must have a smart phone as it is a web site you need to used. (also don't forget you have to pay the tourist tax). This hotel does seem to close at the end of Oct, as does much of the China area. We booked with TUI which said it as 'al a carte', it was if you wanted to pay for 'al a carte' (but at a discount). We used the buffet. It was awesome. Remember that food in the Med is severed warn and not piping hot. The choice and quality was great. In a couple of nights we did take down, and use , jumpers, but the view is worth it (end of Oct). there are a couple of tiny , in think public beaches just opposite the Hotel. You can walk up the coast (turn left at the coast) and walk a few 10o meters on the road and then miles of sandy beach. My wife and I did 4.5 miles. loads of taverns to stop for a rest/drink/food. You can turn right at the coast and hug the coast and do mostly beach into Chania. (about 1:30). Again some taverns to stop at. Chania is worth at least a full day if not more. The Fun Train excursions are great at about 22 euros per person and do get you inland into villages etc.
