“Family/ relaxing hotel”

As a family we have been coming to Crete for many years. I also like to write my reviews towards the end of our holiday whilst things are still fresh in our memory. Firstly, the Noho hotel is also known as Azul due to recently being taken over. And that probably accounts for so few reviews, along with the fact it is not a traditionally 'English catering' hotel'. There are.some English here, but not a lot. So any entertainment is directed to multicultural couples or Greek. Most of the staff have a decent level of English, particularly those in reception. All the staff have been hard working and attentive to our needs (which are few). Having been regular all inclusive patrons in Greece we know what to expect. And Azul is not much different. You do get a lot of value for your money. The food is of a decent all-inclusive standard with plenty of choice. Fresh fruit and salad every meal and a choice of meats, pasta and potatos. Drinks are locally produced alcohol (beer, wines and spirits) and they also make cocktails. After a few days you will notice a repetition in meals but this is standard for Greece. There is a 24 hour reception. Our flight was delayed so we arrived at 3.00am. No restaurants or bars open at that time but the hotel kindly left us a snack and bottles of water in room. There is also a supply of tea and coffee in room. Air conditioning is a blessing at night as is the fridge. The safe in each room is also free. The furniture and fittings are of a higher quality than previous ,3 star hotels we have stopped in. The showers are heaven. The rest of the room is minimalistic but pleasant. The pools are pleasant and not overly busy. A big plus here is the free slides. They are not used much but fun for both adults and kids. They are watched over by guard who unobtrusively makes sure you are following rules. But if you are used to Greece, you will know that things will never be perfect by our standards. Around the hotel on an evening time you do get a 'waft' of sewerage. But this is common in Greek hotels and not overpowering. The five star hotel opposite has the same issue. The hotel bars also ran out of wine and a 5 minute wait ends up being 2 hours. And a big issue this year is mosquitos. Not much the hotel could do about this one so it is down to you to bring protection. There are 2 shops within a minute walk from hotel which will cater for your needs. You will pay tourist prices here so if you are on a budget, pack it in your case. There is also a pleasant beach a couple of minutes walk. If you buy a drink at the beach bar, you can have free sunbeds. As we love swimming in the sea we really enjoyed this. We came to Scaleta last year so know the location. It is quiet with a couple of bars. There are nice stretches of beaches, nice hotels but otherwise very quiet. It is a place for relaxing as is Azul. But the buses are regular if you want to go to the bigger towns and cheap. But probably not the place for parties. Ideal for couples and families and as long as you don't come here with unreasonable expectations you will enjoy yourselves. If you want more pay more. Edit - The photos on site despite being artists representation are very accurate. What you see is what you get

Me and my family had a good experience with this hotel! The room was clean and modern, the staff cleaned the room every day. The staff from the reception was really frendly and helpful, they answer to all the question with a smile on their face. The food was good but we found some plates that wasn’t really good cleaned, but It wasn’t a lot of them, we found just 2 plates in a a week. Both pools are well maintained, the slides are perfect for the children but not only, we had a good time on them! Not a really good thing is that you have to cross the road to get to the beach, but there is an employee who drives you to the beach. Overall we had a good experience and we strongly recomand It!!

“Disappointing. Do not recommend”

Small rooms, bathrooms not clean, all-inclusive food not tasty, drinks too sweet, noise in the corridors late at night. Your plate is taken from the table before you've finished eating. Absolutely not a hotel for 4****. In the swimming pools small children with props (balls, water mattresses, etc... more

Small rooms, bathrooms not clean, all-inclusive food not tasty, drinks too sweet, noise in the corridors late at night. Your plate is taken from the table before you've finished eating. Absolutely not a hotel for 4****. In the swimming pools small children with props (balls, water mattresses, etc). I would not choose this hotel again. Disappointing.
