Our Reviews
Stephanie stayed at the Cretan Eco Resort with her familiy in July 2020: "Wirklich großartig der Service von The Little Voyager und der Service des Hotels! Hab solch einen Service vorher noch nie über ein Reisebüro erlebt. Vielen vielen Dank für alles!"
Susannah stayed at the Cretan Eco Resort with her familiy in September 2020: "Direkt am Strand gelegen, liegt das Cretan Eco Resort. Ein kleines Hotel, dass mit viel Liebe zum Detail eingerichtet ist. Mit einer zauberhaften Gartenanlage, in der man viele Pflanzen und Blumen entdecken kann. Das Personal ist so freundlich und herzlich, dass man sich gleich zu Hause fühlt. Egal was einem auf dem Herzen liegt, es wird versucht, es gleich umzusetzen. Soviel echte Herzlichkeit zu spüren, lässt den Urlaub nochmal erholsamer werden. Die Zimmer sind klein, aber fein und modern eingerichtet. Die Betten ausgesprochen bequem und die AC leise, so dass man gut schlafen kann. Es gibt abends Evens an der Lobby Bar, an denen man teilnehmen kann oder man verbringt einen romantischen Abend an der Strand Bar. Das Essen ist hervorragend, besonders das italienische Restaurant. An der Strand Bar kann man mittags kleine Snacks essen oder leckere Waffeln und Eis am Pool. Wenn man nicht aufpasst, hat man schnell ein paar Kilos mehr… Der Spa Bereich ist klein, die Massagen zwar gut, aber es fehlt das Drumherum. Das ist wegen Corona leider zu kurz gekommen, da keine Getränke ausgeschenkt werden dürfen. Für die Kinder ist allerhand Programm geboten, bis hinzu Kinoabend im Outdoor Bereich. Selbst wenn es nur 3 Kinder sind, wird auch dann das Programm geboten. Im Großen und Ganzen, ein toller Urlaub. Unser erstes Mal in Griechenland, aber definitiv nicht das letzte Mal. Danke an Ilonka für die tolle Organisation, hoffentlich bald wieder!"
Christopher stayed at the Cretan Eco Resort with his familiy in September 2020: "We travelled to Crete via The Little Voyager and were amazed by your expertise, kindness and anticipation of what matters to families. You ladies are wonderful, the more we look forward to travelling with you soon again!"
Melanie stayed at the Cretan Eco Resort with her family in June 2021: "Liebe Ilonka, vielen Dank für die wunderbare Unterstützung. Die erste Reise nach langer Pandemie-Pause. Es gab einige neue Herausforderungen und auch Terminverschiebungen. Ilonkas Service war zu jeder Zeit sehr freundlich und schnell - perfekt! Es war ein sehr befreiendes Gefühl zu wissen, dass sich jemand um Alles gut kümmert. Wir reisen sicher wieder "mit dir" ;-)"
Viviane stayed at the Cretan Eco Resort with her family in July 2021: "Wir hatten eine wirklich schöne Familienauszeit auf Kreta und dank deiner Unterstützung war alles super easy und unkompliziert. Im Cretan Eco Resort sind alle sehr nett und absolut kinderfreundlich. Dank der schön angelegten Pools und dem direkten Zugang zum Meer waren unsere Kinder einfach im Glück. Es gab zusätzlich einen tollen Yoga-Workshop, ein Kochkurs wurde angeboten, für die Kinder täglich wechselndes Programm mit sehr schönen Ideen, wie das Open-Air-Kino, die Schatz-Rallye, der angelegte Gemüsegarten war toll ... es war für jeden etwas dabei! Tausend Dank noch einmal für deine ganz wunderbare, professionelle Unterstützung! Das wird sicher nicht unser letzter Urlaub mit The Little Voyager gewesen sein."
Maria stayed at the Cretan Eco Resort with her family in August 2021:"TLV helped us with recommendations for family friendly hotels in Greece in Aug 2021. We stayed in The Cretan Eco Resort, which had great family rooms in a half board basis. The breakfast buffet was absolutely delicious and catered specially for children. The hotel is overlooking a gorgeous private Sandy beach. They have an entertainment program for children which includes kid club, movie nights, disco, etc, my children aged 8 and 5 were very excited and enjoyed throughly the program. We also liked the restaurants which were Italian and Cretan, the food is very high standard and they have the most friendly service. I fully recommend both the hotel were we stayed and TLV services."
Katja stayed at the Cretan Eco Resort with her family in June 2022: "Es war wirklich richtig richtig schön! Das Hotel ist ein Traum und die Ausstattung erst... ;-). Das Essen war wirklich ausnahmslos toll, alles in allem haben wir uns rundum wohlgefühlt! Auch Kinderclub und Transfer liefen einwandfrei. Das Schlimme ist, dass ich ab sofort nur noch Urlaub in Design Hotels machen möchte.. ;-) Dank Dir so sehr, liebe Ilonka, für die ganze Orga und Deinen Einsatz! Ich bin mir sicher, dass das nicht die erste und letzte Reise ist, die wir über Dich buchen werden."
Anna stayed at the Cretan Eco Resort with her family in June 2022: "Wir sind schon wieder voll im Alltag, tragen aber viele schöne Erinnerungen an Kreta mit uns mit. Es war ganz wunderbar und das Hotel, der Service, die Anlage sind einfach toll. Wir hatten wirklich einen herrlichen Urlaub. Nochmal vielen Dank für die unkomplizierte und tolle Organisation!"
Daniela stayed at the Cretan Eco Resort with her family in October 2022: "Jetzt sind wir schon wieder eine Woche zurück aus unserem wunderbaren Urlaub. Ich wollte dir nur sagen, dass es wunderschön war, alles perfekt geklappt hat und wir uns alle pudelwohl gefühlt haben. Wir haben all unsere Alltagsregeln über Bord geworfen, jeder durfte Essen und Schlafen wann und was und wie er wollte.. Wir haben die Zeit genossen. Es war der perfekte Kurztrip, um Sonne und Energie vor dem Jahresende zu tanken. Der Service war prima. Das Essen fantastisch. Die Anlage von der Größe und den Angeboten genau richtig.Vielen Dank!"
