Crete - Euphoria Resort

TUI Euphoria Resort

If you know me and Follow me on Instagram then you all know that I LOVE a holiday, any chance I get I'll be there. After Budapest I wanted to book what I call a 'relaxing holiday' so I went for a week to Crete with my parents.

Where do I even start with this hotel???   ...it was gorgeous. 
Euphoria is a brand new premium all inclusive family resort in Chania, which we booked through TUI. 

FIRST IMPRESSIONS

BEAUTIFUL, CLEAN & STYLISH are my first thoughts. 

On arrival we were offered a lemonade drink along with a cold cloth - after being on an hour long coach transfer feeling hot and bothered, I thought the cloth was a great idea. The staff were lovely, we were shown to our room and our bags were already waiting for us. 

After we were settled we took a little walk around the hotel, the decor was amazing -totally my style if I was to design a hotel!

OUR ROOM

We decided to go for a swim-up room after I'd been pestering my parents and O M G it was amazing, I've always wanted to stay in one. 

We obviously shared the pool with the neighbours but that was fine as we weren't really in it at the same time. 

Our room was 207 and we got pretty lucky as the sun was on our terence from around 1.30pm-5.30pm. However, the other swim-up rooms which were facing us only had the sun in the morning, which isn't great if you've paid all that money.

At night they had entertainment in different parts of the hotel, so the room was noisy a few nights but it didn't bother us as we were sat up playing cards anyway. 

I loved stepping out of the room and jumping into the pool, It defiantly exceeded my expectations !!

THE FOOD

There were five different restaurants which meant plenty of choice. We were super excited because we (as a family) get bored of eating the same things all the time. 

• Symposium International Buffett 
• Souvlucky - Greek snack & Waffle bar 
• Piatto - Italian Restaurant
• Chefs Grill (A la carte dining) 
• Kouzina Restaurant (A la carte dining)

Breakfast was in the main restaurant every morning there was plenty of choice. I had greek yogurt and fruit most mornings as I don't like english breakfasts abroad - they make it taste so different !! :( 

Lunch time we tended to go to the Italian as I love pizza, pasta and fries on holiday (and always!!) but I feel like it's such a treat whilst away.

We also visited the Souvlucky snack bar quite a few times which is located in the waterpark. Waffles, Ice-cream, refillable drinks and Greek Gyros - Prefect 

In the evenings we visited a few different places. One evening they had a disco night with a barbecue, that had food like burgers, pizza and various deserts. 
We spent four nights in the main restaurant as I thought that had plenty of different things for the three of us as we all have different tastes.

And finally for the la Carte Dining. Below are some photos I took of our food from the two restaurants. With the all inclusive package you are entitled to a night in each.

The chefs grill was my favourite! We booked our meal around 6.30pm and we watched the sunset it was spectacular, although it was very windy that night everything was flying everywhere - maybe not the best night to pick. 

For starter I had my favourite soup, Leek and Potato and to follow I had steak. My steak wasn't the best I've ever tasted but it was nice. To finish it off I had an assortment of ice cream for dessert. 

The Kouzina Restaurant was not to my liking at all because it was very fancy. For example my mum had Octopus which is totally not my thing.

Although I didn't really enjoy any of the food the atmosphere and the waiters were all lovely.

Overall I thought the food was nice for an all inclusive, not the best but certainly not the worst! 

THE DRINKS 

Ranging from cocktails, champagne, healthy smoothies and milkshakes Euphoria has it!

No shortage of refreshments whilst relaxing by the pool, the staff continually come to check if you want any drinks and bring them straight to your sunbed - what could be more perfect? 

THE SPA

Me and my mum visited the spa one afternoon, nobody was in there so we had a little swim, went in the jacuzzi and just chilled out for a bit. We could of easily had an afternoon nap it was very quiet. I'd advise you to book treatments in advance as we didn't have time as we were only there for a week.

THE WATERPARK 

The waterpark isn't just for kids!

It's situated in a separate area of the hotels grounds next to the kids club. There were four different slides, all extremely good for saying it's an hotel waterpark. We went in a few times throughout our week stay and had so much fun.

OVERALL IMPRESSION

Once in Euphoria's ground there is no need to leave! 

They have everything for everybody - when they say all inclusive, this hotel means all inclusive. It's the little touches that makes this hotel special. Whilst being there it was my mum & dads wedding anniversary, we heard a knock at the door and they kindly bought them a decorated chocolate cake and a bottle of champagne. 

I'd defiantly recommend a visit to Euphoria Hotel, it was fab.
