Vacanze Spiliaria

It is a very small apartment, but has everything you need for a beach vacation and puts you in a walking distance from one of the sweetest beaches in Chania / Akrotiri. It is very quiet and safe, 150 m from the beach and 100 m from the mountain trail that you could explore in the mornings before it gets hot. Lera cave trail is good in the mornings until about 9 am. Amazing view of the area from there. There are also a couple of fantastic restaurants right next to the beach - Google the reviews please. The owner is super-friendly and filled our every request. It was a very nice gesture to have a good coffee and a bottle of nice local white wine in the fridge for us. Owners daughters brought us grapes one evening which was a sweet surprise.

The toilet seat was broken, and we had to wait half a day for it to be fixed. The Wi-Fi was terrible, and we couldn’t get a 5G signal at all. The soundproofing in the room was awful. On our last night, a couple staying in the room above us were fighting and shouting, waking us up at 4 a.m. We informed the manager, but he was unable to resolve the situation. As a result, the noise, shouting, and arguing continued, and we weren’t able to fall back asleep. Since it was our check-out day, we asked if it was possible to extend our stay in the room. The manager said they could only extend it by one hour, which wasn’t helpful. In the end, our entire day before the flight was ruined because we were exhausted from the lack of sleep. A few more downsides: It takes more than an hour to get to Chania from the hotel, and the bus is usually overcrowded. There are no shops nearby. On the positive side, the area is very peaceful, the beach is within walking distance, and the food offers a good variety to suit different tastes. Other than that, it’s pretty much the same as any standard all-inclusive hotel.

Mio marito ed io abbiamo prenotato le 2 settimane centrali di Agosto in questa struttura all inclusive. La vacanza non era partita al meglio perché appena arrivati ci è stato detto che purtroppo la nostra stanza presentava problemi di tubature e ci è stato proposto di alloggiare per 3 notti (il tempo per risolvere il guasto) presso un'altra struttura, il Solimar Acquamarine Resort, distante circa 5km dal Solimar Torquise e di categoria superiore, sempre all inclusive. Per farsi perdonare ci hanno riservato la suite con piscina privata e all'arrivo ci hanno fatto trovare in stanza un vassoio di dolcetti e vino. Trascorsi i 3 giorni siamo tornati al Solimar Torquise e per errore ci è stata data una camera standard mentre noi avevamo prenotato una junior suite. Appena abbiamo fatto notare l'errore allo staff, si sono subito prodigati per rimediare ed alla fine ci hanno fatto alloggiare in una delle suite fronte mare che era stupenda (scendendo le scale si era subito in spiaggia con ombrelloni e lettini che ci hanno anche offerto gratis). Abbiamo apprezzato molto la sollecitudine e gentilezza dello staff nell'intervenire prontamente per rendere perfetta la nostra vacanza. Per questo ringraziamo di cuore e salutiamo con affetto Anna ed Anastasia che hanno reso possibile tutto questo. Portiamo nel cuore questa vacanza e speriamo di tornare presto! Raccomandiamo a tutti il Solimar Torquise in quanto è una bella struttura, si mangia bene ed è situata fronte mare e con movida serale!
