SplashWorld Chrispy Resort

Reading through some of the reviews I’m truly astounded about some of the negative comments. I can only come to the conclusion that some holiday makers have failed to do adequate research about the star rating & location. If you want a 5* resort I’m sure you can find one, First Choice give Chrispy World a 3* rating & that’s what it should be judged against. Yes, it’s in a somewhat remote area but m that’s quite obvious if you take a look on google maps. For us it was situated perfectly, a couple of minutes walk to a pebbly beach - wear swim shoes and you’ll be fine! It’s in a quiet place away from rowdy tavernas and any Brits abroad cafes (genuinely don’t understand these - you’re overseas for goodness sake). This brings me to the food - if you want nuggets and pizza, yes they are there but why would choose that for yourself and your children when the other offerings are delicious. The fresh salads are superb, assortments of delicious Greek foods (spinach pie, moussaka etc) and even a great curry one evening! Fruit is plentiful and ice cream is on offer for most of the day. The staff were not at all grumpy, yes - they were strict about people coming too near to the food counters but in this Covid world it was very reassuring. I’ve been to all inclusive resorts before & I actually preferred being served at the counters rather than helping myself, hopefully once the pandemic is over this practice will be retained. The tables are kept immaculate & we didn’t feel concerned at all during the whole of our stay about the proximity to other holidaymakers - it was beautifully set up with plenty of hand sanitisers. The splash park is fab! The lifeguards are friendly, alert & constantly watching to make sure folks were spaced evenly to avoid any accidents. I witnessed them rushing to help one boy in superhuman time who they thought was in trouble & even checked on him a while later to make sure he was ok. The big pool was fine apart from it being a little rough on the bottom & can get a little sore on the feet if you’re not careful. We never had a problem getting sun loungers, some people felt the need to reserve early in the morning with towels but there really was no need. The rooms are a perfectly comfortable, we had a little bit of a leaky shower but nothing dramatic & nothing a towel couldn’t sort out. The lady at reception is lovely, so welcoming & kind. If I needed anything I was helped straight away. Entertainment was low key which is understandable given the pandemic and the issues presented, again, I preferred this set up, lovely and quiet. My 11 year old was perfectly happy as well, played in the pool and splash park, read books and made friends with other children who he challenged to air hockey and went searching for cats, no need for any other distractions over the week. This is quite a long review but to summarise we had a brilliant family holiday at Chrispy World, thank you so much for a fab week long escape!

Thank you Crispy World for these excellent 6 days!!! My 5 year old daughter enjoyed so much our stay in the hotel that cannot wait till next August, so we can come back! We really had a lot of fun both in water park and playground, public swimming pool and private pool! Our room was clean, really comfortable and modern furnished!Mrs Silvana & Mrs Vera from the housekeeping dept were always so kind and caring. Mioara from the animation team is the most vivid person I ve ever met. Not only kids but also adults had a great time with her!! The meals were great and the staff always willing to help and take care of us! Dimitra from the pool bar always had a big smile every time my kids asked for cake, meatballs etc. Lia from the reception desk was always kind and willing to listen to us. Also the cook was so polite and professional!! Special thanks for making us feel safe applying procedures for COVID 19! We ve already made our reservation for summer 2021!!

We stayed at hotel Chrispy for one week. The reception staff are very warm and welcoming. Our room was in the old block, which had recently been painted. It was comfortable and clean. The spiral staircase did have a child gate at the top but I think it could also do with something at the bottom to make it safer for toddlers. Food was average all inclusive, there were some very nice options but for children it was very much nuggets and chips. Maybe more spaghetti etc options needed. The potatoes were really nice. The restaurant staff outside who clear up and bring cutlery are very friendly, however the staff inside serving can be miserable and short tempered, especially with children. The water park is amazing, the lifeguards are friendly, helpful and always on the lookout. They were extremely good with the children. The other pool does have some rough edges on the bottom and sides so I'd recommend younger children to wear swim shoes or socks, as it did cut quite a few children's feet. Bar staff were very friendly too, however the drinks are not very strong and are considerably weaker than the usual alternatives. Apart from the ouzo!!!Brilliant holiday and overall the hotel was really nice.
