Gouves Water Park Holiday Resort

We had a week stay at this hotel during the October half term. Though busy it did not feel crowded. Rooms Our room was fine. Towels changed everyday. We had two balconies and complimentary safe box. The fridge was stocked with soft drinks and replenished. I felt more cups would have been useful for making tea/ coffee. Balcony overlooked mini splash park. There are 7 or 8 pools dotted about the hotel complex. Some quiet for swimming others for fun and splashing around. A waterpark pool, splash park and two mini splash parks for tots. There were busy periods but there were sunbeds available. There are several bars. The staff were always friendly and welcoming and helpful. The main restaurant was very good with a massive selection of food. The a la carte restaurant was great. We had our two complimentary meals there and the food was excellent. We paid regular prices for our wines. Additionally food snacks were great. Lovely hot pizza slices and gyros, tasty ice cream and excellent coffee too. We used the kids club and though geared more for under 5s our 8 year old enjoyed spending the odd morning there. We also went to the beach which was great. We took a trip on a boat for swimming booking near the beach and to the waterpark too. We had tried to book the pirate boat trip but they had closed for the season. We made our own trip to Knossos which was easy if a bit disappointing. Overall a great stay. Very enjoyable.
