Amirandes Grecotel Exclusive Resort

The Amirandes Grecotel Exclusive Resort is a luxurious seaside haven skirted by a gorgeous lagoon. The resort whisks its guests away on a grandeur-filled stay, where they will be overwhelmed by the stately architecture, posh quarters, and an Olympic-sized pool. There is also a slew of elegant restaurants having Picasso's original works.

Moreover, visitors can sign up for exclusive spa treatments by Keralan specialists. At this lush-green, beautiful oasis, where clear-blue waves wash up at the sandy shore, drenching the air in brine, you will find yourself in a mystical dream like no other.

Design and Architecture

The resort is elegantly built with stone terraces and archways. These allow for close-up, panoramic views of the lagoon. Moreover, extensive gardens with colorful blossoms surround the property, which multiple fiberglass animals occupy.

The hotel's unique architecture is inspired by the Minoan civilization that inhabited the building many years ago. Its high ceilings, reception hall, white furnishings, and marble columns achieve a classical vibe.

Location

The resort's ideal location, East Crete, Greece, makes nearby tourist resorts accessible. Guests can now get the terrific opportunity to wander around the Minoan Palace of Knossos' ancient halls. Or, they can visit the CretAquarium, where the fish stock is extensive.

Moreover, the 18-hole golf course, with its reasonable packages, is the place for lovers of the sport. In addition to this, there are also various boutiques and cafes waiting for you to explore. Besides, the airport is only 12 miles away.

The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful, allowing guests to enjoy all the vacation feels. The local town, Hersonissos, has multiple dining outlets within a 10-minute drive from the resort. A few beachside bars are also in the area.

Rooms and Suites

The family-friendly resort accommodates 212 rooms, divided into five whopping categories. Family suites are spacious and feature elegant furnishings and sliding glass doors. There is also an in-room gyming area and private pools with temperature-regulated water. The main bedroom and living room are lavishly furnished and designed to taste high-end clientele. Moreover, the State-of-the-art bathrooms are massive and have exclusive whirlpool tubs where guests can receive aromatherapy and color therapy.

For more spacious quarters, consider booking two-story Villas or stately Residences. The gated Residences have extensive indoor pools and exclusive private beach access, ensuring absolute privacy. Additional perks include a cooling machine for medicine and cosmetic products. Moreover, guests staying in the Villas or Suites also receive personal butler service and exclusive VIP treatment from the concierge team. It assures them access to the VIP gazebos on the beachside.

Luxury Rooms and Bungalows feature indulgent private/shared pools and exquisite garden and sea views from large windows. Guest rooms follow neutral color themes, mainly beige and cream. This gives a beautiful contrast to colorful furnishings, such as powder-blue side tables and glowing tube lamps.

The bedrooms are bathrooms with walk-in showers, massive whirlpool bathtubs, and double vanities. Bespoke Eau de Greece toiletries, comfy bathrobes, and slippers elevate the bathing experience. Besides, most rooms on the ground floor have verandas with beautiful views of the sea.

In-Room Amenities

All categories of rooms come with flat TVs, fully-stocked minibars, DVD players, free Wi-Fi, fresh fruits, and drinkables, including water and wine. So if you're feeling up for coffee, you can churn it up in your room's Nespresso machine. There are also tea facilities. The outdoor spaces are furnished with modern décor and are built to serve as a relaxing spot to lounge in the late evenings.

Restaurant and Bar

The Minoan restaurant is probably the most famous spot on the resort. It offers a captivating view of the lagoon and houses Picasso's original works. So naturally, guests are heavily keen to visit the place. Just like the mesmerizing view, the food here is matchless. The signature dish at the restaurant is the flavorful Jerusalem artichoke soup with a side of grouper filet drizzled with basil oil.

Another well-known dining area is The Blue Monkey a la carte restaurant, which is outdoors and boasts a distinctive red color theme. There's no better feeling than gorging on delicious Asian dishes while staring at the sunset. Don't forget to try the delightful Peking crispy duck when you visit!

An incredible aspect of the resort that deserves praise is that it caters to all cultures. If you are a person who appreciates a balanced diet with white meat, consider knocking on the doors of Petrino restaurant, which is located at the seaside. However, Xasteria is the perfect dining spot for locals as it explicitly serves Cretan dishes.

For breakfast, guests can dine at a buffet in the airy courtyard of the Amirandes restaurant. The restaurant serves Greek specialties in the evenings. They also play live music several times during the week, keeping guests entertained. Guests also love dining at the Lago Di Candia, beside the infinity lagoon pool.

Furthermore, if you are feeling up for a cool cocktail drink, head over to the Lagoon bar, this is where couples love having a romantic time, dancing to live jazz music.

Spa

The resort has an extraordinary Elixir spa with a heated indoor pool and sauna. Here, professional specialists perform various treatments. Amongst all treatments, however, the Ayurveda massages given by Keralan specialists are incredibly loved by the visitors.

Fitness Center

All the fitness-conscious folks out there, there's no need to worry about keeping up with your fitness regime on vacation anymore! The Amirandes Grecotel Exclusive Resort houses a state-of-the-art private gym. It has all the modern machines to help you work out the best way and keep your body in shape. Also, Tennis Courts are available.

Additional Amenities

The service at Amirandes Grecotel Exclusive Resort is commendable. Waiters and staff attend to guests sunbathing at the sandy beaches. They bring water bottles and fresh fruit to keep the guests refreshed. The hotel also provides kid-friendly facilities, including three kids' clubs to arrange food and gaming activities. The Amirandes Grecotel Boutique Resort also hosts multiple luxury boutiques where women can shop for vogue articles and jewelry. For kids, there are daily free kids activities.

Takeaway

The resort's incredible setting, paired with its extensive range of amenities and top-notch service, makes Amirandes Grecotel Exclusive Resort undoubtedly the best five-star hotel in the area. Guests from around the world, including the United States, find delight at this resort, and you will.
