- Euphoria Resort

Inspired by the ideal family holiday and having 15 years of experience in the hotel business, including the award-winning 5* Minoa Palace, we designed Euphoria Resort, with great care and love – a purely Premium All Inclusive Family Resort. The luxurious Euphoria resort is situated far from the fast pace of the city, along the sea shore of Kolymbari, 23 km west of Chania, Crete and 30 minutes away from Chania International Airport. It provides high-quality infrastructure and hospitality services for your family, giving emphasis to happiness, rejuvenation as well as healthy diet and gastronomy. We combine all the pleasures you want from a top 5 star hotel and at the same time, we invite you to discover the real Greek meaning of “well-being”.
Due to the surrounding area and the number of steps around the hotel, it may not be suitable for those with mobility difficulties.

The room 723 was clean, comfortable and the sea view was amazing. Room was cleaned every day, plus the evening turn down service. Nice little details! We had a swim up room, which added to luxury. The staff was very friendly. Plenty of delicious food choices. It is worth to upgrade to signature room, since you get to have a quiet breakfast at Kouzina. Also the hotels a la carte restaurants are worth to try. The water park was fun for our son.
We can highly recommend this hotel.
Our arrival was super friendly and quick. I’d pre-checked in on the app, so we were given welcome drinks and shown to our room. We had a surprise update – a 1-bedroom suite!
The room was amazing. It had two bathrooms, a big bedroom and a lovely living room area. There was also a big balcony. Housekeeping was great every day. The only complaint was the towels – not enough left each day, but that’s just my preference.
The food was okay. The main buffet was a bit boring, nothing exciting. Breakfast was the usual, nothing special. The only fresh juice was orange. Lunch options in the main buffet were fine but again nothing exciting and hard to get a second drink. The Italian buffet was nice, with a good mix of pizzas, pasta and salads. Our favourite lunch was the Greek. It was beautiful on the beach and had a nice variety of options. The waiter service was much better and easier to get drinks.
Dinner was just fine at the main buffet, but again hard to get a drink. The à la carte restaurants were much better and easy to book. Chef Grill had a lovely setting, really nice food and good wine options. The Greek restaurant was also lovely, with great food and service. The Japanese restaurant had delicious food and great service. The Italian restaurant had great service and food.
The pool was beautiful but very cold. We could get a sunbed any time of day. We were usually the first at the pool at 9am, so there were no sunbed wars. There was sporadic waiter service for drinks at the pool, but we could easily get a drink at the bar or use the self-service kiosks for water, fizzy drinks and beer.
The bar and entertainment were good. We enjoyed the entertainment and the children’s entertainment each evening. The drinks were good and strong with proper brands, but the service was slow. My little girl loved the mini disco and bubble party.
Overall, we had a really lovely holiday and would recommend it to families with young children.
Despite harsh weather conditions during half of our week, we had a wonderful stay at Euphoria. The food in all of the restaurants was excellent and the à la carte restaurant Psari is outstanding. The rooms are spacious and very clean, the overall service level is great and the staff friendly and helpful. The resort manages to be one of those few places that perfectly cater for families as well as couples or friend groups traveling without children.
It says it all when you return to the same hotel because the experience was so great. It’s more than likely i’ll return with the family next year!
Pros:
Cons:
Euphoria Resort is marketed as five-star ultra all-inclusive, and while the facilities are certainly impressive, I’d personally place it closer to a very good four-star. The rooms are absolutely beautiful though—spacious, modern and very well equipped, with everything you might need. Pools are huge and look fantastic, and our swim-up room was a lovely touch. The big downside is temperature—none of the outdoor pools are heated, and in October they were about 17–18 degrees, which is really cold. The sea was actually warmer. There is a heated indoor pool in the spa, which was great. Food-wise, the buffet has plenty of choice and is perfectly decent, but it does feel a bit canteen-like rather than high-end. We only stayed one night, so we couldn’t fully explore the restaurants. We were told specialty dining would cost extra with our package, and the Asian restaurant didn’t look particularly refined either. That said, we genuinely enjoyed our stay and it feels like good value for money. I’d recommend it, especially to families, but definitely in the warmer summer months when the pools are more usable
